We have been busy learning many new things. In health we have been learning
about our 5 senses. Mr Collen brought in healthy cereal for us to taste.
Guess what families??? WE LOVED them!!! Be sure to ask us about them...we
may even want you to buy them for breakfast or a snack.
In math we have begun talking about plane shapes/two-dimensial figures.
(Triangles, squares, circles, rectangles) Next we will be talking about
solid shapes/three dimensial figures, (sphere, cone, cube, rectangular prism,
cylinder, symmetry and equal parts. Some vocabulary activities to do at home
are listed below:
1. Help your child find, describe, and identify plane and solid shapes in
your home or neighborhood.
2. Give your child a mirror to hold at the middle of a picture to explore
mirror images and symmetry.
3. Let your child help cut foods into equal parts such as halves.
4. Visit Education Place at eduplace.com/maf
In social studies we have begun talking about Native Americans and the first
settlers. We will be completing many different activities around this
subject.
Please make sure to practice the word wall words that were sent home. Be on
the look out for the next list of 20 words.
