Math:
This week we will be classifying and sorting a variety of regular and irregular two- and three- dimensional figures regardless of orientation or size.
Homework:
We have been busy becoming animal experts at school. As a culminating activity, each student has the opportunity to select an animal and create a diorama displaying the animal in its habitat. We encourage a simple display with a shoebox and your child’s creativity. Your child will have the opportunity to share this project with his/her class and display it during open house.
Please bring your diorama to school on Thursday, March 5th as we do not have space in the classroom to store the diorama. Thank you for your support and have fun creating!
