| Hoggatt Cave is taking shape in our classroom. Students discovered the horizontal entrances, last week, one of which is only big enough to crawl through, and the other of which can be entered while walking upright. For those who might be interested in reproducing something like our cave in your own classroom, this (spoiler alert) is really only brown, craft paper, which has been crinkled to provide a rough texture. I then tuck one end of the paper into the ceiling tiles to hold it in place and into the carpet tiles to secure it at the bottom. The great thing about building a cave is that things don't have to be neat and smooth. |
Of course, there is another entrance into Hoggatt Cave - the one I originally stumbled upon, 20 years ago. It is a narrow, vertical entrance through the ceiling of our classroom (actually, just a rope suspended through the empty space where a ceiling tile has been removed). We've talked about how these openings have been formed. It is exciting that our own state is known as the Cave State.
