Snow Day and Symmetry

*****Snow Day*****
Well, February 2nd was a surprise for the 'Groundhog' and those of us not expecting a 'Snow Day'! 
As part of our 'Traditions and Celebrations' unit, we learned about the origins of 'Groundhog Day' by reading a few books, watching a movie and working on our shared reading paragraphs. The students joked that yesterday 'Wiarton Willie' probably couldn't get out of his den because of all the snow! Here are a few pictures of the snow build up on our windows at school. Remember we are on the second floor!




Symmetry
Here are some of the great examples of symmetry that the students built. We used a ruler to create the line of symmetry and then students built one side and a partner built the other side. Pretty amazing!
