Week in Review

This week's post focuses on math and writing. :)

Your kids have had fun exploring with 2d and 3d shapes this week! In first grade, we spend a lot of time talking about how you can use shapes to compose other shapes. 

 To get started, we just had fun playing with shapes. Every kid knows how to do that! :)

 Check out her cat!

And this puppy!

 In groups, we had the chance to design specific shapes and talk about which shapes we used to compose it.

 We then progressed into composing other 2d shapes. We used task cards to help guide us through this process. It was a big challenge!

We also wrapped up our fictional narratives this week!

 My favorite part about ending a new book is getting to share it with our fellow authors in the classroom! The kids had so much fun picking their partners and sharing their books.
