End Zone Dance

THEY GOT IT!

My homeroom class-- my class of ham-- they GOT IT! We talked about reflections today in math and it was a GLORIOUS SUCCESS!

Says me: "Okay guys. Question. When you look in the mirror, do you see your butt?"
Says the ham: "NO!!"
Cat in the Hat: "Well, some of you might if you're being buttheads. (Class snickers) ANYWAY. No. Why not? What do you see?"

We played Mirror,Mirror, grabbed partners and reflected movements. We talked about pictures and reflected singular points on both x and y axises (what is the plural form of axis?). We played with manipulatives.

And then I quizzed the little suckers.

AND THEY GOT IT! All but two kids received 100%

HOORAY! SUCCESS! HOORAY!
