In math, we continued studying and identifying different shapes. The girls played "Name That Shape" where they had to describe a shape by it's attributes and identify that shape with their eyes closed. After that, the girls returned to their seats to create bar graphs of the various shapes' vertices and sides. Finally, the girls made the 2-D shapes on the geoboards.
We also discussed parallel and non-parallel lines. Using the Educreations app, the girls took pictures of items in our classroom that have parallel lines. They then recorded themselves "teaching" their friends why these objects had parallel lines.
Your girls are all about to grow green thumbs. The girls were introduced to their newest science unit today which will focus on seeds and plants. We read From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons and each student was given a plain flower pot to paint and make completely "theirs." Next week we will be digging in the dirt and planting seeds. Over the next few weeks we will be observing our plants as we feed them water and let them grow in the sun.
Many thanks to our mystery readers from the past two weeks.
