Firstly, Miss Mignacca chose people who were sitting and reading quietly to come to one of the two tables and paint on a piece of paper using a house template. We had to paint on the opposite side so that we would use the template as a cut out for later.

The next day when the paint had dried, we needed to cut out the windows. Miss Mignacca cut out most of the windows in the house template because only a few people in the class wanted to do it themselves.

Then we cut out the house template along the lines and folded on the dotted lines.  Once we were done, we glued cellophane behind the windows and folded and glued the house together.

Finally, we put a battery candle inside and we glued the top of the house together and then we were finished!
