Symmetry and Seeds

Our math lesson today focused on determining if different shapes and objects have a line of symmetry.  The girls were given several different cut out shapes to fold and see if they were symmetric or not.  They then went back to their seats to complete a packet as a class.  As the girls completed their math packets, they worked together to create a "Symmetry City" where everything had to be symmetric.  They enjoyed cooperating and creating this unique city which we will hang in our room.

Your girls are all about to grow green thumbs.  The girls were introduced to their newest science unit today which will focus on seeds and plants.  We read From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons and each student was given a plain flower pot to paint and make completely "theirs."  Later on this week we will be digging in the dirt and planting seeds.  Over the next few weeks we will be observing our plants as we feed them water and let them grow in the sun.
