Throwback Thursday: Holiday Geometry

Happy Thursday!  Here’s a random fact – Thursday is my favorite day of the week.  I’m not sure why.  Maybe because it’s so close to Friday?  Who knows.  Anyhoo, here’s a post from way back in 2011!  I created some holiday activities to go along with our geometry unit in second grade.  Take a peek!
Holiday Geometry
As I promised, here is one of the activities that I did with my students before vacation.  We are elbows-deep in our geometry unit for math.  I created a holiday shapes activity for my students to do.  It was originally meant for the students to do with a substitute when I was at a meeting, but the meeting got cancelled – yay!  We did it anyway because it was fun.
Here is my version:
I originally created it to show my students what they should look like when they finished.  I then changed my mind.  I let their imaginations create them instead.  I’m so glad I did!  Check out their  original creations:

So different than mine and so awesome!  I didn’t get any pictures of the Christmas trees because we finished them on a day when I didn’t have my camera.  Want this freebie I created?  Check it out over at my TpT store!
