Geometric Solids!

I am on a posting frenzy! Here are some of the geometric solids the kids made on Friday using straws and plastecine. We have been exploring pyramids and prisms this week, and discussing their similarities and differences.
Nolan's square-based pyramid. I think he was more excited about the backdrop than the pyramid!

Will's octagonal prism - very impressive!

Peter's hexagonal prism!

Turtle with Patterning Blocks

Here is a fun activity we did in class a couple of weeks ago that I am just getting aroud to posting now. It's a turtle made using the least number of patterning blocks and then with the most number of blocks. This activity allowed the kids to discover that a hexagon, rhombus, and trapezoid can all be made using triangles!

Swimming on Monday

Just a reminder that the 3A class will be going to Sawmill Creek Pool tomorrow afternoon. Please dig out the swimsuits and beach towels!
