Hello from the other side.

One of the challenges of teaching Grade Three is that we must fit in all of the curriculum prior to writing those EQAO booklets.  One of the ways I achieve this is to use Morning Message and Math Message to provide mini-lessons on some of the concepts that we would have normally covered in June.  
One of those concepts is symmetry. We started talking about it last week and revisited it today.  
We know that symmetrical means each side is the same. 

How many lines of symmetry are in the word "hello"? 

In fact, if you somehow found yourself on a symmetrical island and you were waving and yelling "Hello from the other side." There would have to be another you who was also waving and yelling "Hello from the other side."  right back! 

We thought you'd get a kick out of the little video we made.
