Big blue eyes Pointy nose
Chasing mice and digging holes
Tiny paws Up the hill
Suddenly you're standing still
Your fur is red So beautiful
Like an angel in disguise
But if you meet a friendly horse
Will you communicate by
mo-o-o-o-orse? mo-o-o-o-orse? mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that
ho-o-o-o-orse? ho-o-o-o-orse? ho-o-o-o-orse?

Do you remember the name of the angle that a perpenticular line makes? What symbol do we use to show this angle?
Tell your neighbor!

Bonus question, how many perpendicular lines are in a square?
How can we name those angles?
