creativity

 2-10-11

Today my kids got creative with the pattern blocks.  I love to use manipulatives when we are doing math!  But, I have also learned that if you give a bunch of 9 year olds blocks and ask them to do something specific, they won't...they will try to build their own things!  So, I learned that I should let the kids play with the blocks and get out all their creativity before I ask them to do specific things.  These pictures are the result of their designing!  I'm thankful for creative students!  Some of them are flipped on their sides...
