Hey, hey crazy hair day! This week in Math has been brought to us by SHAPES! We started out by naming all of the shapes that we could think of in French. ...and then had fun finding and sorting as many shapes as we could. We organized them into rows and compared their lengths. Whose shape won for the longest?! And in playing with our shapes, many of us discovered that we could combine smaller shapes to make a completely different larger shape! We went on a scavenger hunt around the classroom, tallying and comparing the different kinds of shapes we found. Did you know that circles and rectangles are EVERYWHERE?! Then we took our shape quest outside! We discovered that not all shapes come in the standard form we would expect. Lo realized that there are a whole lot of elongated octagons around the playground! Madame told her that in all her years of doing outdoor shape hunts, nobody has ever recognized these benches as octagons! Bravo, Lo! We even started creating shapes during play time with the toys. "Madame! Look, it's a losange (rhombus)"! And Madame introduced us to her "Mambo Number 5" French shapes parody! Careful!...it's tricky to keep up! In other news, the rain clouds finally lifted and we spent an afternoon at the park again! Even Sam and Alma the dog got in on the play time action. :-) It was also the colour run/party for the Intermediates today and we had fun watching the chaos! Madame tried to spot her own daughter, but couldn't see her through all the colour clouds. Thanks to Belle's mom for finding her and snapping a photo! We did manage to find one of our lunch monitors and some of Madame's former students. We can't wait until it's our turn to take part in this annual event! Extra photos...
