This week we have learned a lot about Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. Hopefully your child is able to share many different facts about this famous man. More will be learned when Mrs. Sanders comes in for social studies in a few weeks.
Geometry, geometry, and more geometry! We learned about solid (3D shapes) today. We focused on faces (flat part), edges (where two faces meet), and vertices (where 3 edges meet). Please try to reinforce these definitions at home by counting them on household items (tissue box, ball, can, etc.) It's essential that everyone have a solid understanding of this key vocabulary.
Any takers on gumdrops and toothpicks? I would love if anyone is willing and able to donate one of these items so we can create 3D models of cubes in class.
Just a reminder that the diamond poem projects are due on Tuesday, 1/24.
Upcoming Projects:
Constellation Project due Monday 1/30 (information going home on 1/20)
3D Animal Model due 2/10 (information going home on 1/30)
Heroes Writing Contest Paper due Friday 2/24 ( Information was sent home today. It will be the only homework assignment the week of 2/13-2/17.)
I know this is a lot of projects in a short amount of time, but I know they are all valuable learning experiences, and hopefully fun as well. If you have any questions about them after receiving the directions, please let me know. I look forward to seeing and hearing about them!
