Christmas Crackers
I am very happy when parents come and ask if they can teach something to students. Axel`s mom Jessica came to our class to show us how to make Christmas Crackers.
Inside the cracker you put candy and then you hang it on your Christmas Tree. At Christmas Eve you can open the crackers and eat all the candy!!!
Thank you Jessica and Axel for showing us how to make the crackers. I am sure everyone will enjoy the candy on Christmas Eve.
Estimate and Measure
This week we were busy estimating and measuring the length of objects in our classroom. As you can see we used non-standard units to measure the length.Lotte and Bruno did not mind at all that they were measured as well.We found out what object is longer, what is shorter and what is the longest. We compared the length of the students arms and legs. We will continue to measure next week.

Symmetry
What is a symmetry?
Where can you find symmetry?
How can you make symmetrical designs?
These were our wonder questions for this week in Math.Students looked for symmetry in class and around the school, they used pin boards and rubber bands to create symmetrical designs, drew own shapes at least with one symmetry line and created designs also with pattern blocks. Evan had a good idea to make a display of all the designs on the windowsill. He asked me for a piece of paper where he could write his name as the real artists have and others followed his initiative. Then we had a small exhibition in class where the art pieces changed every day.
