Lots of Fun!

I wanted to share some pictures of some of the things we have been doing in class lately!  The past few days we have had some fun projects in math.

On Monday we made some paper chains to help us with our "Tricky Teen" numbers.  We used 2 different colors, one color to show the first grouping of 10, then a second color to show how many more we needed to get a certain number.

Makinzi hard at work making a number chain to show "13."

Crystal, Logan and Cooper working to make a number chain for "16."

All the number chains, 11-19, hanging in the hallway.

On Tuesday we did an activity to help us with symmetry.  We used some special paper and went outside to also get in a small science lesson!  The kids had 3 objects that they set on their paper.  We let the sun shine on the paper for a few minutes, and took off our objects to see that the sun had faded the paper, but left the image behind.  They thought this was SO COOL!  It was a great way to talk about shadows and blocking light.  When we got back into the classroom, the kids had to draw a line through each object to make it symmetrical.  They did a really great job with this tricky concept.

Waiting.....

and waiting for the sun to work its magic!
