Math turned into Art
I am sure Little One has an artistic bent. Our walls are full of indications of this. :) Seriously, from a very young age she has loved to draw, color, paint, create and I have been amazed by many things she has done.
One day last week we were doing a page in the Kindergarten Scholar work book I picked up at WalMart a while back. It was a math page on identifying geometric shapes. There was a suggestion at the bottom of the page to use cans, bottle caps, etc, to trace around to make a bunch of different sized circles on a sheet of paper. Little One loved doing this and we filled our paper with circles and that was that. Instead of doing a whole lot of different sized circles we used just a couple of different sizes but we used different colored leads to trace around them A little later in the day I found the page of circles sitting on the bench in the porch, but the circles now had faces in them. I thought it was very cute. She informed me that it is our family and the Reids, friends of ours that found come visit.
