Mrs. Hettenhausen's First Grade Literacy Lab students read The Little Red Fort to learn about sequencing and using transition words. The students sequenced the story using a sequencing story map and then set to work designing their own fort. They drew designs and decided on supplies. The winning design belonged to Diab Qarrot, who led the building process as project manager. After the fort was completed the students finished their work inside the fort.
