Tessellation Homework Fun!!

Hello Everyone!!

We just began our work on tessellations this week. Tessellations are ways to "tile" a "floor" without any gaps or overlapping. Tessellations consist of dialations, rotations, reflections, and translations.

The first part of this project is our homework that is due by Friday, September 16th. Each student has been sent home with several small pieces of square construction paper. They are to create their very own tessellation shape with this square. They will need to draw their lines and then cut out what they drew. Then they will need to either translate or rotate that cut out piece to another part of the square. They will then tape it together. To the left is an example of one tessellation.

This process will continue until the student is satisfied with their design. Once they have come up with their finished tessellation, they need to color it creatively and come up with a name for it. Sometimes, it might be easier for the student to decide what they want their tessellation to look like, draw a picture of it, and then draw a square inside of that picture. This will help them see where they need to draw the lines and cut to get the desired picture.

This is a fun and creative project that you can help your kids with. Have some fun with it and let me know if you have any questions!!

Special Event!!

Hello All,

I am sure you're all wondering about Open House. Well, this is one of my favorite things at the beginning of each school year.

Our school's open house will be September 20th from 6:00-8:00 pm. Each family will start out in the first period class of their student. they will be given 10-15 minutes in each classroom. The bell will ring signalling that it is time to more to the next class. This will continue untill all families have visited each of their student's teachers.

At the end, you will be able to go back to any of the classrooms and ask any questions that you might have thought of after you left. I will have refreshments in my classroom along with a small information packet that should any answer any and all questions you may have. I hope this gets all of us started off on the right foot this year.

I am looking forward to seeing each and every one of you there!! Hope you can make it. If not, shoot me an email and I will send you the packet!! Have a great day!!

Ms. Proctor
