We recently learned about symmetry in math class. We looked at some images of actual snowflakes and noted the beautiful symmetry in snowflakes. Then we tried our hand at drawing our own while trying to maintain lines of symmetry in our designs. They turned out beautiful!
We've been taking some time in our school day to make a few holiday crafts to enjoy the holiday spirit. The students worked on these cute holiday reindeer in the last few days. This is a guided drawing project, but I love how they all turn out a little different from each other!
This week we read the funny book "Crankenstein" by Samantha Berger. This story takes you through many examples of what makes the main character very cranky. At the end, the reader is surprised to find out the main character is just a normal little boy! We shared stories and examples of what makes us cranky. The class shared examples of snow that comes too early, doing chores, and waking up in the morning. We used our ideas to put together a class book. Each student came up with a main idea and three details to support that idea. We're still finishing up our writing, but we finished making our Crankensteins on Friday. They turned out great!
We have finished up our Sunny Student art project! I love how bright and colorful their suns turned out. Whenever we do an art project we generally start with a model, but I love how they all turn out so unique and individual to the student!
