We are becoming shape experts!

This past week, the students have been working very hard to identify 2-Dimensional shapes.  This included the following shapes:  circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and hexagon.  The students can identify their vertices and their sides... just ask!     We will begin working on 3-Dimensional shapes beginning this week.  See if your children can find examples of each as you are driving down the road or looking around the house.

Please be sure and check out our cool shape song:
