You can find their blog here.
They were inspired by our blog to make their own symmetrical snowflakes. They built snowflakes on the light table, the overhead projector and the math carpet. Here are some of the snowflakes they made:
We had never seen an overhead projector or a light table so Mrs. Lowe brought one to our class.
We built beautiful snowflakes with the math pattern blocks and they were shooting up onto the wall!
We noticed that when we put the pattern blocks on top of each other they changed colours.
During play time kids tried putting lots of different things on the overhead to see if the light would shine through. Maybe tomorrow we could do some more exploring to see which kinds of things let the light shine through and which do not.
Thank you Mrs. Babalis' class for inspiring our learning!

I love your snowflakes!I have a few books about shadows that I have packed in my bag to show you. There are even some ideas on how to make shadow puppets if anybody is interested! Remind me when I see you tomorrow and I can give them to Mrs. Lowe.
Thanks so much for the awesome book about shadows. One of our students was inspired to create his very own shadow screen using popsicle sticks, hot glue, and a sheet of paper. You should stop by and ask to see it!
