Geometry Rocks

I hope everyone had a wonderful week.  Last Friday, Michael and I had the privilege of learning all about our students when they gave short presentations.  They were amazing, and we are finishing up the final few today.  I can't wait!  Also, last week students created amazing bar graphs that represented how they learn.  The students did multiple drafts of their work, and gave each other feedback before moving on to creating a final draft.  This made for some exceptionally beautiful work.

This week we are moving forward with preparing students for an upcoming project involving architecture, design, sustainable gardening, and composting.  We will begin this week by investigating aspects of geometry like surface area, perimeter, volume, angles, and the ever popular Pi.  I look forward to having fun and exploring together this week.

On a different note, while working last week our classroom discovered it was still in need of a few items.  We need several ultra fine point black sharpies and some scotch tape.  Thank you for all bringing in supplies over the past few weeks, it has helped immensely.
