Learning About Shapes

We have started our next math investigation focusing on 2 D shapes. During math time we have been describing and making some 2 D Shapes.

Working with a partner, we recorded different shapes from our classroom. We noticed lots of circles and rectangles. 

We read some shapes book! 

These two Voice Threads connect to our shape investigation. 
Hayley's thread ask you to figure out how many squares.
We went on a shape hunt at Bates school!! The second thread shows some of the pictures we took.

Learning Chinese

Robert's mom came to our class last week and taught us how to count to ten in Chinese.

We learned how to say the numbers!

We learned how to write the Chinese characters!

We learned the hand movements to make while counting. We watched a video to help us! You can find it on our class web page.

Learning About Butterflies

We read this beautiful book about butterflies called A Butterfly Is Patient. After reading this book we created a Bubble Map.
