Just a quick update...

We have been busy wrapping up quarter 2 objectives and completing assessments to determine the kiddos' growth over these past 9 weeks. With that in mind, I will keep this week's update brief.

Math
We have ended our unit on numbers in the teens and have started to explore 2d (square, circle, rectangle, triangle, hexagon) and 3d shapes (sphere, cylinder, cube, cone). Encourage your child to identify and describe these shapes in their environment to help support our objectives at home. Even more, have your kiddo take a picture (with your cell phone) of any of the shapes they see and email it to me. I will print out the picture and add it to our 'Shapes All Around Us' poster! Happy shape hunting....

Items Needed

You can surprise your child by coming in to read a favorite a book to our class during our snack time. Stay tuned for more details....
