Today

We had a busy and fun day!

In math, we talked about polygons and two dimensional shapes.  We read  The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns.  Ask your child what it was about.  We also watched a video.  You can get to the link here.  It is a fun way to see the polygons in action!

We continued our work in geography by doing two activities related to the Earth and our continent, North America. 

This afternoon we worked on an art project related to colors and geometry.  First, we talked about warm and cool colors.  Then, students picked three colors to use from either family.  They also picked a geometric shape paper to color.  They had to use three colors, but none of them could touch each other as they colored.  It was a bit hard and really took some thinking.
