Symmetry, St. Patrick's Day and Whale Friends!
/The Whales explored the concept of symmetry this week, using our bodies to find symmetry through movement and dance. We even went outside and used the big drum to perform a 1, 2, 3 - SYMMETRY! dance together. It was so fun to watch Whales practice using their Eagle Eyes and Ninja Listening to regulate and control their bodies so they could mirror the movements of their friends.
After we practiced moving together, we used our skills as artists to create magnificent symmetry string paintings with Ms. Katie. We were thrilled to see the symmetrical shapes our pieces of string left behind!
On Wednesday, we arrived to class and began creating our AMAZING leprechaun traps! We used our skills as writers to welcome those rascals into our traps, and give them detailed directions on how to get inside. Although none of us were successful in catching one of the Wee Folk, they did make a real mess in the classroom! Chairs were tipped over, glitter all over the floor, and green (ehem) something in the toilets. Thank goodness they left us some chocolate coins to eat!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone!
