String!

In the beginning of the activity I was sort of unsure of what exactly to do, and I thought there should be some sort of order. But then, I just started walking all over the place, attaching the string to anything that would hold it. The only time I was actually paying attention to what I was making was when I was wrapping the string on the top of the table trying to make a shape on the tabletop. I think this is a good way to show how shapes and lines can be connected, in ways you might not think of normally. I actually thought it was a great idea for an activity. It wasn't just a boring lesson on lines and shapes. It got us to interact and be in the environment with the shapes, not just looking at them on a sheet of paper.
