Polygon Fun

Yes, we had fun in math today with Chinese jump ropes making different kinds of polygons, quadrilaterals, triangles, etc. It took lots of teamwork & cooperation to get their shapes to look correctly with the right amount of sides & angles. Tomorrow we will be learning about points, lines, line segments, and rays and then we will be able to discuss angles and start measuring them with protractors. So if you could make sure your child has a protractor by Friday that would be great. Thank you :) Midwest states & capitals maps went home today for practice at home. We made flash cards for practice here at school. We will be doing our geography challenge for this region on Thurs. & Friday and then start the tour of this region on Monday. Ask your child 2 of the states & capitals in this region and write them in the planner if they can. Lead 21-I was very proud of these kids today. They had some awesome questions for group discussion and they stayed on task during their question/answer discussions while I moved from group to group listening & facilitating. This was great proof that they can take their reading to a new level and get more meaning out of it when discussing in groups and this way I could have all 3 groups working on this while I interacted with them instead of just 1 group at a time which means more reading is going on on a daily basis!!!! YAAYYYY!! Class pictures are on Friday, March 14th so bring those great smiles!!!!! Also on Friday is our Pizza Party for winning the Read-A-Thon. PTA will be providing pizza & Capri Sun as the drink. Tomorrow is Library Day so get those books back. Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine.
