Today the entire class went to lift 7 to try to build igloos. We started them off by digging a small hole in the ground where we could then shave chunks of snow out of the hard packed ground. The blocks of snow that we carved out were all different shapes and sizes. My group tried to spiral the blocks inward and slowly build it up. In the end our group just had a huge tower that didn’t have a roof. If I was to do it over I think that I would have used blocks that were all the same size and I would have angled them in more to try to close in the roof. This was a great experience to learn how to make a small house out of snow. I just hope next time I try I’m able to make the roof work.
