Gothic Architecture and Our Next Project...

Our fourth graders are currently learning about French Gothic Architecture. We have  been learning about it's defining characteristics, such as it's ornate decoration, it's distinctive structure, and it's penchant for having exquisite stained glass windows. We are focusing our study on the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

For our next project, each fourth grade class will work to create their own composite rose window, using the rose windows in Notre Dame as a reference.
