Our 3rd graders in Mrs. Kylee Redford's class at MES have been busying learning geometry basics such as line and angle types. They worked in groups to draw rea life examples of each new term they've learned this week. According to Mrs. Redford, it was exciting for the students to realize geometry is all around us! Great job, Kodiaks!
