In math this week, we learned about symmetry. We tied this into art on Friday by making symme-trees. We also had fun in math on Thursday when we went outside to measure objects using our feet and comparing that same distance with a ruler's measurements. The kids figured out why rulers are so important...because everyone's feet are different sizes. If there was no universal measurement tool, there would be big problems!
