Last night, while on my way home from work, a friend asked me what color a dress was. I replied "indigo with black lace?" Her response was gold and white... I didn't understand! I went about my day, no big deal, and thought little of it. It was a HUGE deal by morning. The internet was freaking out about this dress! I couldn't believe it! That's when the lightbulb went on in my head....I wanted to ask my students what they thought of this dress.
During out breakfast/bell work time I went around and asked all of the students (even the few additions in my reading group). While on my prep, I took time to make a quick sheet that we could use to interpret the data we had collected. Luckily, most of my kids see what I see, so I know I'm not that crazy! There are a few that did see the white and gold though. It was very interesting and a ton of fun for them!
