Geometry and Wilma

We continued our study of geometry this week by learning the different attributes of a square, triangle, circle and rectangle.  The girls had to identify each shape by its characteristics and make each shape with model magic.

Determined. Brave.  Amazing.  These are just three of the words that your daughters used to describe Wilma Rudolph, our second famous female we studied in our latest social studies unit on Women in History.  We read the book Wilma Unlimited and discussed everything that Wilma had to overcome in order to be labeled the fastest woman on earth.  After we read the story, we brainstormed our favorite facts about her and made our own gold medals. 

Many thanks to Jane Lancaster for being our Mystery Reader on this rainy day!
