When they are finished with the book they will return the book to the library, but they will keep the supplies. I encourage them to take a picture of their finished project and email it to me. And now you can follow Iggys further adventures-with his friends Rosie Revere and Ada Twist-in.

For this project, I’m sending home a packet with the students when they check out Iggy Peck Architect. If students are in our Makerspace Lab I let them make towers or bridges with all the supplies I have in our Makerspace such as clothespins, popsicle sticks, cardboard, yarn, toilet paper tubes, masking tape, and hot glue. After hearing the story of Iggy Peck I have my students do a STEM building activity.
