Today was Fun Friday! That means that every student (today this was 12 out of 17) who had ALL of their work turned in, and was caught up on their Sunflower Reader (14 books as of this week), got to participate in a tessellation project. We have been studying shapes and transformations in math, so this was a perfect tie-in with what we've been studying. We looked at some examples of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and then created our own tessellation shapes from notecards. We have some amazingly creative artwork being created - check out the photos! The kids can't wait to show them to you at conferences next week!
This was a fun day to be a 4th grader, since we played a game in math class today on the Promethean board about coordinate planes and ordered pairs. The kids got to choose an image of candy from the grid, tell the correct ordered pair for the candy's location, and then earn that piece of candy. And then we had art class this afternoon, learning about drawing 3-D cylinders.
What a fun day!
