This week we will take a look at 3D Solid shapes such as; cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism and sphere. We will describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using vocabulary – above, below, beside, in front of, behind and next to. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. Analyze and compare two and three dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts.

As the cold weather approaches us, please remember to have your child dress warm. If your child is wearing boots to school don’t forget their shoes to wear during the day.

Have a great weekend!
