| Sima led a powerful meeting this morning about the discrimination simulation an Iowa teacher performed in the 70's in Iowa. Check out the YouTube video and discuss it with your child. A few great questions students came up with: What about student that had green eyes? Why did the teacher do that? Why didn't she just tell them about discrimination? http://www.youtube.com/watch? |

4th Grade Blue and Purple Groups: Today we worked together as one class. The students were led in a demonstration to make Tangrams from a 4"x4" square of paper by folding and cutting. The outcome is seven polygons in different sized triangles, a square and a parallelogram. The challenge is to put the pieces back together to form the original square. Many students eventually found a solution and moved on to other Tangram polygon puzzles. This is a great activity to try at home. This link provides the template for making the Tangram pieces and the polygon puzzle pages the kids worked on today. Have fun!
