Spanish Geometry?

How do you make 3 dimensional objects from 2 dimensional shapes en Español? On Friday, First Grade students took on the challenge with some assistance from several Third Graders. The students spent part of the morning navigating through centers where they engaged in various practices to review the shapes in Spanish, then built those shapes using materials like Play-Doh, craft sticks and paper. It was an engaging morning full of engineering, collaboration and critical thinking. A huge thank you to Mrs. Courtney, Mrs. Coyle, Mrs. Vicendese and Mr. Hughes for planning this activity.
