Researching Planets

Symmetry

Planets

The Serpent class accompanied us  to the computer lab to help us with our planet research.  We found a lot of interesting information and fabulous pictures.  Next week we'll be using this information to write about a planet of our choosing.

Check out our terrific walls of symmetry and planets!

Symmetry

We've been working on symmetry this week.

We came up with some interesting designs.

We worked as teams to come up with a mirror image around a rod.

We painted some symmetrical pictures to reinforce the math concept.

In math this week we have been working on symmetry.  We have identified symmetrical objects, created our own designs and painted symmetrical pictures.  Math can be fun and can be integrated into many different areas of study.  This week, math and art went hand in hand in the Ladybug room.

Swimming and teamwork!

I'm having a hard time getting a picture of the kids in this group-they swim too fast!

Working together!

This was an exercise in teamwork.

We invited a couple of Serpents to come in and help us build this structure.  It was tricker than it looks.

 This week was all about swim lessons!  They are lots of fun and everyone is having a good time.  That's not all we've been doing, we're working on symmetry and learning about the planets.

Swimming lessons!!

Some of us started with a little trepidation.

Some of us didn't.

It was all fun in the end!

This was so much fun!!   Even though we were a little nervous to start, everyone had a good time!  We can't wait to do it again!
