Geometric Gingerbread House Project

Thank you so much for your feedback and I apologize for not including a formal rubric. My team and I complete this project with our students the week before winter break. For us, this is usually the weird time when grades are technically cut off. Our unofficial rubric is the checklist of items (in the packet) that we ask the students to include. Assigning a 1 or 2 point system per item worked for us. Usually our students go above and beyond the requirements--and sometimes it's ok to just let them have some fun--particularly when they're bouncing off the walls ready for break! :) All four 4th grade sections participate in this project and to switch it up we allow students to pick a partner in any class. We then balance out the classrooms and block out about 1-2 hours per day during that final week. If students finished early, they can write a story about their gingerbread house, the family that lives inside, etc. Enjoy + happy holidays!
