Happy Birthday ~ Flight to China ~ Geometry Shapes

Happy Birthday Evan!


We are waiting to board the flight to China.


Everyone is ready for the trip. Safety belts are on, and emergency exits are visible.



Captain Boaz explains the flight plan.


We pause above the north pole for a in-flight snack...a rarity these days!


We visit a school in China.


Upon landing, our passports are stamped for entry into China.



Also today, we talked about geometric shapes, sides, and points (vertices). We brainstormed how to make shapes using a chinese jump rope and had fun making them. Lastly, we made shapes using straws and pipe cleaners. Everyone started by making a triangle and then could move on to a shape of their choice.
