A few weeks ago, Caiden expressed an interest in learning about crop circles.

         Earlier this week,  Mrs. Woods found an article about crop circles and shared it with Caiden, Kate, and Andrew.  In addition, to sharing information about crop circles the article contained opportunities to practice editing.  Once the students had made the corrections to the grammar and punctuation in the article, they discussed the information presented by the author in depth.  

The students concluded that some crop circles are the creation of humans who wish to advertise a product or gain notoriety, however some crop circles seem to have more mysterious origins.

Caiden attributed his mandala like crop circle to "The Aliens!"

Next, Caiden, Kate, and Andrew researched images of crop circles and noted their unique features and characteristics.  

Finally, Mrs. Woods then invited them to design and create their own crop circles.  

Andrew's crop circle contains concentric circles centered within horizontal rows. 

Kate's crop circle radiates out from the center and references the sun and an eye.
