| On Monday, April 6th, we had Special Person's Day. Students are allowed to bring a Grandparent, Aunt/Uncle, Cousin, Babysitter, Parent, etc. to school with them. We started this year's day off with a couple showcases of work from each grade. Then the students put on an Improv Show. After that was over the student's got to interview their special person, and then they each drew portraits of each other. They gave their special people a quick tour, shared a small snack, and the visit was over. Overall, it was a fabulous day, and it was so great to see the students so proud of their school while they shared the day. Thank you to everyone who joined us! |

Archaeologists have found that people have used tiles to make mosaics and to decorate homes, temples, and other buildings as long ago as 4000 B.C. The Romans called these tiles tesselae, from which we get the word tessellation. A tessellation is the repeated use of shapes to fill a flat surface without gaps or overlaps.
Students in 4th Grade took a 3in. x 3in. Square, and cut it into a shape they thought would work for a tessellation. When creating these shapes, and then transferring them onto paper, they had to keep in mind the three Geometric Transformations that they learned about in Math. These transformations include translation, reflection, and rotation. Good Morning,
