We read the story No Two Alike by Keith Baker. It is a cute little story about how there are many things in the world that are ALMOST the same - but are usually slightly different! We specifically looked closely at snowflakes. I had some wonderful illustrations of many different snowflakes. We discussed that snowflakes are drawn by making many lines and shapes. Snowflakes are a wonderful example of radial symmetry - the same pattern repeating all the way around in a circle. So, if the artist made one circle shape on a snowflakes arm (line) it would have to repeat all the way around on all other arms. We used our creamy oil pastels with the magic color of white! When we painted our blue sky over the whole paper - the magic white color would appear!
