Practicing Symmetry

Today we worked on symmetry as we made Valentine's bags.  The kids learned how to fold paper over and trace a shape that would turn into a heart.  Then we talked about how you can take a heart and turn it into something else.  This fun activity was actually meeting common core standards as we discussed symmetry and used shapes to make other objects.

At recess the kids had some FUN in the snow!!! They practiced problem solving how to get up the snowbank, taking turns as they sled down the bank, and then cooperation as they worked together to roll a big snowball around the playground.
