...frozen fractals all around...

This is my favorite line from the song, "Let it go!" from the movie Frozen. Fractals are a mathematical term for an never ending pattern. So, this morning, we created fractals! We made (tried to make) the Koch fractal. See if your kiddo can help you get started...it starts with an equilateral triangle.

After working on our fractals, Mrs. Vidic came in and worked with us on feelings and Zones of Regulation. These zones and understanding feelings can really help at home too-help remind your child to get in and stay in the green zone; help them to build their toolbox. After guidance, we reviewed fractions and some took or began taking their unit 3 assessment. Thankfully, a sub showed up for Mr. Burkhart and I didn't have to teach gym today! Then, we had lunch and indoor recess. We finished The Beaded Moccasins and the class cheered. I love when they enjoy our read alouds! This book was not only enjoyable but also taught us a lot about the early people of Ohio. Then, we went down to Miss Gates room for a Reader's Theater for Henry's Freedom Box, one of my all time favorite books about Henry Box Brown. Once we returned to the classroom, we read independently, visited the library to get books for break, completed our opinion essays-if needed, finished our Earth's Processes comic-if needed, finished up our Science experiments-if needed and many blogged, wrote freely and continued to read for the rest of the time.
