I'm returning to second grade with a new Math Curriculum I am not yet familiar with, so I am unsure how I would use this. I like the village idea, but wonder if the concept is too broad for my crew. I also wonder if I could make it into social justice with the shape having a phrase or act of kindness repeated. I'm not fully sure and will need to flush out my ideas, as I venture through the curriculum to see how I can best link this activity. Ultimately, whatever I choose, I would like to invite students to create and display the full artwork.

I love the fractals in cornrows but feel like that may be too complicated for my students although there is power and beauty in this knowing. I am not familiar with fractals. I'm often trying to make a connection to what curriculums we already use, but as I am exploring this new one, I'm not sure yet.
