Andrew noticed that the blue sections of this quilt look like a five-dot domino (you might need to squint your eyes and focus on the turquoise parts).
We also read a poem about sea stars and learned cool facts about them. We learned that sea stars regenerate their arms, they aren't like fish because they don't have brains or backbones, and that when they eat, their stomach comes out of their body! We found a youtube video to prove this last fact:

Next, we each created a Sea Star quilt block.
Then we decorated a piece of paper with dot painters. These will be the design papers from which we'll cut our sea stars.
Sea Stars will be a perfect way to notice counting by 5s patterns!
