Pigometry!

Do you love geometry? Do you love Charlotte's Web? Room 14's students love both, so we created Pigometry Art-o-facts today!

Each student was given a ruler, construction paper, and directions from Catherine Jones Kuhns' wonderful book called Mathematical Art-o-Facts. The class loved measuring and constructing our pigs almost as much as we loved reading Charlotte's Web over the last several weeks. We hope you enjoy these pictures of our piggies and the yummy snacks we enjoyed yesterday while we watched Charlotte's Web!

Have a great Easter and we'll see everyone in a week!

Our snacks: Pigs in a blanket & spider web chocolate!
