We are creators!

This week, we are continuing our exploration of shapes!

Today, we used tooth picks and marshmallows to create different 2D and 3D shapes. Their first assignment was to create a cube.










After that, I told them to use their life skill of creativity to make any 2D or 3D shape they wanted! I cannot wait for you to see the creative All Stars we have in room 201!

Brandon even figured out a way to create a circle!


Hot Air Balloon






A house made out of cubes and triangles


"Hexagon like snowflakes"-Isabella (I love how the learning connects!)

The video below shows some phenomenol learning that took place during this activity:

They were wonderful mathematicians as they constructed their shapes!
