Math
We're exploring 3D shapes! They'll be able to identify and describe attributes of 3-D solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes), and triangular prisms. Have students tell you what everyday objects are 3D shapes.

Brrr! It's Cold Outside!
Please be sure to send your kiddo to school with a coat (not just a jacket on the chilly days!) We will go outside for recess and they also go outside for PE and Fitness. Practice zipping, buttoning, and snapping jackets at home.
