2D Shapes!

Posted on

Hello Families!

We have been mathematicians as we have been working with 2D shapes!

Today we sorted 2D shapes into their categories. We also practiced describing 2D shapes by talking about the characteristics of them such as the number of sides.

The children used geoboards and rubber bands to create 2D shapes.

We sorted and described 2D shapes!
We are excited about shapes!
We created squares, rectangles, triangles, and rhombi!
2D shapes are everywhere!
We checked out books from the Oakman Library today! Some of the children checked out books with a “Thanksgiving” theme.

We have been talking a lot about kindness! PLEASE, if your child does something kind for someone at home, let me know! I would love to recognize that in the classroom!


PLEASE be sure to check out the sign up sheet that is outside of our classroom door for the Thanksgiving classroom celebration next week!

PLEASE mark your calendars and come to the classroom Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday, Nov. 26th at 2:00! The children will also be performing a song for you!

We are in NEED of baby wipes if you would like to donate any.

Also….next week we only come to school on Monday and Tuesday!

See you soon!

Have a great evening and enjoy the following links with your children!

A lovely book with rhyming words and ways to be kind!
Help your child learn the 2D shapes!

Thank you for all you do!

Veteran’s Day in Young 5s!

Posted on

Hello Families!

We learned about the meaning of Veteran’s Day and the brave men and women who served out country in the one of the 5 branches of the military.

We also wrote thank you letters to veterans. In addition, we made a beautiful poppy flower project with a poem that reminds us to be thankful for the sacrifice of so many who have served our country.

To all of you who have served in the military as well as the spouses, children, and other loved ones of these heroes….Happy Veteran’s Day! From the bottom of my heart….thank you for your service!

We worked on Reading Eggs!
We made a tree map about Veterans! The children helped generate the lists of what they can do, have, and are.
We made thank you notes to fill the heart buckets of veterans!
We used torn paper to create beautiful poppy flowers to remind us of the brave service men and women!
We worked hard on our thank you notes!
Our poppy flowers have a poem. We learned about the letter Rr and circled the letter r in the poem with a red crayon!

****PLEASE remember to bring in canned goods and other food items that do not need to be refrigerated. We have 12 items now and our class goal is 100 food items!

***Tomorrow, 4-7PM is the second night of parent teacher conferences. I sent home reminders today for your appointment time.

Thank you for all you do!
