2nd Grade made stand up towns to create communities!  They each designed a small section (or street) out of cut paper and once they were done, they worked in teams to create neighborhoods, arranging the streets in different ways. One group decided on a big circle facing outwards so all the kids could play together in the big backyard it created,  Another made long streets and cul-de-sacs!  At the very end of the last day, we all put out neighborhoods together in one bi classroom community. I looked at the pictures and recreated some of the formations in the display window after the unit was over.
