Parents,
In Math this week, we will be moving on to 2-D shapes. All students will receive a hole punched sheet with all the shapes that they will be required to know. 2-D shapes will be on the front and 3-D on the back. This sheet will be put into their green binder that they bring home everyday. We will be studying the 3 requirements a shape needs in order to be a polygon.

Polygons must be: 1. Flat, 2. closed, 3. and have straight sides.
All students will need to recognize circles, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. We will be focusing on certain vocabulary such as sides, vertices, and parallel lines. At the latter end of the week we will focus on congruent shapes what what congruent means. If two shapes are congruent, it means that they are exactly the same size and same shape. Students will understand that congruent shapes can be flipped, turned, or upside down, yet they are still congruent. Next week we will merge into learning about 3-D shapes.
In Science we have been studying clouds. The students worked in groups last week to learn about types of clouds. We made an anchor chart together and they will use it to complete a cloud project/flip book that we will be working on in Science for the remainder of the week. The students will be bringing home 18 flashcards and a study guide to study for their test the following week on weather, weather tools, and clouds. Be looking for it and harass your children for it so you can help them study!
As always, call or email with any questions!
Mrs.S
