Ms. Lori gave us the opportunity to learn about Adobe Homes today during our art experience. We learned that adobe homes are found in Mexico and throughout the southwestern United States. We also learned that these homes are made of a mixture of sand, clay and water and formed into bricks before building They are used in these areas because they help keep the homes cool in the heat of the desert.
