Spring Colors in Symmetry

First graders just finished a math unit introducing geometry during which we learned some about symmetry. Around the same time we decided that it was time to send the snowmen packing (at least on the walls) and get some spring color up in our hallway so we did a art project incorporating our new knowledge about symmetry. Students made butterflies and dragonflies with symmetrical bodies and markings, then painted them in warm and cool colors, highlighting their symmetrical markings in black. Below are a few photos. Can you tell that we are ready for warmer weather?
