We have just started to learn about 2D shapes.  We have been learning about these shapes: triangle, square, rhombus, hexagon, trapezoid.  We have been working on identifying how many sides and corners each shape has. 

We have been learning how to make shapes on the geoboard.

We have also been working on becoming fluent on the number combinations to make the numbers 5-7. We use number bracelets to help us.

We played with pattern block puzzles were able to make some great pictures.

 

 

 We also made shapes with play-doh. The mats helped us make  a lot of different types of shapes.

 

We also had a great time learning about brushing our teeth and seeing the parts we missed when we brushed the first time.

 We also did an experiment to see what happens to the plaque in our mouth when we eat sugary foods. We observed that the plaque can grow and "explode" when you eat too much sugary foods.

The cup on the left shows the plaque after eating  sugary foods, the cup on the right shows what happens when you eat foods without a lot of sugar.
