Geometry and our World

 
Students are learning to identify geometric plan shapes by their proper names.  They are also using hands on materials to determine how many plane shapes can be used to make another plane shape. 

 Two rhombuses are equivalent to a hexagon.
 6 Triangles are equivalent to a hexagon.  3 triangles are equivalent to a rhombus.
 
 We are working on contractions this week. Ask your child to explain the job of the apostrophe.
 Our whole group reading book for the week is There was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Book!     Students are using this book to identify various punctuation marks, contractions and rhyming words.
 Students matched the rhyming words that we found within the text. This was the assessment that each child completed today. 
 Students enjoy checking their answers by using the interactive pens.  

 Today the students completed a  "Hands On" Show what you know. They used the geometric shapes to complete their assessment. 



 Sydney Sutton is our Star Student of the week.  She shared her " All About Me" poster with the class today. 
 In Social Studies we learned about the 7 Continents.  Ask your child to sing the continent song to you.  Students are making the globe to display in our room.  We are labeling the 7 continents and the major oceans of our world. 


 


Don't forget that we will have our character parade on Thursday October 31st.  See Ms. Tipton if you need a  book or any costume props.
