Geometry Review and Test

We reviewed 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes today. The students worked with pattern blocks and solid shapes. The students are doing great when counting faces, edges, and vertices. We will review again tomorrow and the test is on Thursday, April 30th.

Area

The students learned about area today. We used little squares to fill the shapes to figure out the area of a few rectangles. The students enjoyed reviewing a little multiplication too. 

Math News

The students have been learning about two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. The students have been counting faces, edges, and vertices on the three- dimensional shapes. On Friday, they used pattern blocks to show equal parts of shapes-fractions. At one math station, the students were building some symmetrical pictures. 

Poetry Celebration

The students have been working hard the last few weeks writing poetry. After editing their favorite poems, they designed and decorate a cover for their poetry books. The students shared their books with our class and Mr. Jobst's class. I'm so proud of their hard work!

Science Review

The students reviewed for their science test today. Hopefully your child has reviewed a bit at home this week. The test is tomorrow. 

Happy Earth Day!

The students have been learning about our Earth's resources. We've also been writing poetry so we combined lessons and the students wrote an Earth Day poem. Here are a few:

Fun with Tangrams

Some of the students have been trying out the Tangram Challenge! Some of the puzzles are easier than others. It's great fun when students work hard and keep trying even when the puzzle is quite challenging!
