Young Consumers Program

Today the students were visited by Mr. Steve from the Young Consumers Program.  He talked with them about the program and about the tasks they would be performing when they visit ShopRite later this year.  Students worked with tangrams and learned how to use 7 shapes (1 parallelogram, 1 square, 5 triangles) to make a square, rectangle, right triangle, parallelogram, and a trapezoid.  These tangram pieces will be in the classroom for them to practice with throughout the year.  If you go to these websites: http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/area/tangram.html or http://www.cogmotion.net/Links.html students can use those same 7 pieces to make different shapes!
