Symmetry with Mr. Barshefsky!

Monday morning began with a very special math lesson taught by Mr. Barshefsky.  The two second grade classes gathered in the gym for an engaging, movement-based lesson in symmetry. The children explored the mathematical concept of symmetry by creating symmetrical and asymmetrical poses with their bodies. They also enjoyed a few rounds of symmetry tag. What a great way to start the week!
