We all had a great time putting together the flag. It was a great way to think about symbols that represent America beyond the "official" ones. Students thought about how strawberries, blue jeans, mountains, polar bears, race cars, and an abundance of other things all represent America. You can see the flag on display in the atrium at the Magnet School! It really is a work of art!
Students are working together as they study shapes and how they relate to eachother. In this lesson, we were focusing not only on the activity itself, but the ability to share materials and work together during math workshop.
