We Love GoNoodle!

We Won the Attendance Award!

We won the attendance award because we did not have any TARDIES or absences for one week. We have set a goal to win this award again next week!

We Accepted the 3-D Robot Challenge!

Five awesome scholars accepted the Spring Break Math Challenge and made 3-D Robots. Way to go: Livia, Emma, Ava, Hapi and Natalia!!

Building 3-D Shapes

The scholars worked in groups to build different 3-D shapes. They were required to explain the number of faces, edges, vertices and to identify what 2-D shape face they saw. We had great discussions especially concerning how the cube and rectangular prism were alike.

Spring Break Geometry Challenge

If you have some extra time during Spring Break, I challenge you to try one or both of activities!

Terrific Tangrams:  you will use all the pieces to create three different figures.

Rules: -each figure must use all seven tans

          - the tans cannot overlap

          - each tan must touch another tan

* Write and illustrate an original story using the 3 figures you created. Think of a creative way to present your Tangrams story. You can make a book, a poster, use technology, or come up with your own ideas!

Shape Robot:  Create a shape robot using 2 and 3 dimensional objects from around your home (paper towel rolls, juice boxes, tissue boxes, soup cans etc.)  You will be given 2-3 minutes to share your Shape Robot with the class. Practice at home what you will say so that you feel confident speaking in front of the class. Remember to include the names of the different shapes you used.

Good luck and have fun!
