Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

The highlight of our week finally happened! We did inline skating!! Look at the concentration on our faces. Balance is an important part of functional fitness. Ask me what the other two important things are.

 For Saint Patrick's Day, we played a three digit addition game. This gave us the opportunity to revisit addition with regrouping. It's always good to practice skills we have not used in a while. Ask me a few questions at home. Don't forget, there are bonus points for being able to explain my answer in more than one way.

We also learned about Celtic designs. Then we tried some art, based on Celtic patterns. There was lots of math involved, including symmetry, shape and patterns. We learned a new word, 'ellipse.' Ask me what it looks like. We also learned about how to join materials by weaving them together, which is part of our Building unit. Plus, it was fun - even though it was very tricky and tested our following directions carefully skills! They all look so pretty!!
