We had some sleepy-eyed kiddos today. After reading the kids' journal entries today, it sounds like everyone had a fun-filled weekend. We started our week reviewing the long I sound. This week's spelling pattern is i_e. Be sure to look for your child's pre-test in their backpack so that you know what words to practice this week. Of course, you can also find them on the sidebar of our blog. If your child already has mastered the words, challenge them to write the words in sentences, or further challenge by having them write a short story using all of the week's spelling words.
In math, we reviewed fact families and then we revisited 2-D shapes. We discovered through working with our blocks that we can create shapes using other shapes. For example, we can make a trapezoid by using 3 triangles. We made a hexagon using two trapezoids. Ask your child to tell you about the designs they created today in our fee exploration. Encourage them to find objects around your house that are: triangles, squares, a rhombus, trapezoid and a hexagon. We are going to be crazy about shapes this week!
A few reminders about what's ahead:

We were having so much fun with shapes this afternoon, I completely forgot to hand out the week's Power Drill! I will be sure to send it tomorrow. Enjoy your evening together! Stay healthy.
