Geometry

Today was our laptop day. The students watched three short clips about geometry on brainpopjr. They love watching video clips on brainpopjr. 







After watching all the clips, they had to write an opinion piece ( a review ) about their favorite video. They wrote their review on our Kidblog-Boyd's Kid Blog. They did a great job with navigating to the blog, creating a new post and writing a review. Ask your child about geometry and opinion writing.

"Wow! Are we in the city?"
"Are we in Illinois?"

"Look guys, the seats are made out of carpet!"
