Good Afternoon!

**Reminder that the Conference Scheduling Form is due this Friday! Thanks!

Earlier in the week, we talked about the number of sides when dealing with a shape. Today, we focused on the number of vertices. Each child was able to find their name, identify their shape, and circle all of the vertices on their shape. Everyone was able to identify the vertices and count them!

K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g. number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

This morning we explored ways to make two and three dimensional shapes.  We used match sticks and balls of clay to put shapes together in different ways, depending upon where we were developmentally.  Arthur built a triangular prism.  When I commented on his work, he corrected “no, this is a tent.”.

We spent much of the morning enjoying the snow and fresh air!  Albert was in the sandbox laughing to himself.  I asked what he found funny and he said he had found that all of the dragons where frozen in a block of ice.  I pulled the block out of the bin so he could look at it.  I asked him how long he thought it might take for the sun to melt the dragons free of the ice.  Albert replied “I’m doing an experiment!” .

We hope you enjoy some more pictures!
