We have started a new geometry unit in math called Make a Shape, Build a Block. This unit focuses on two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students will create, identify, describe, and compare shapes. They will explore the relationship between 2-D and 3-D shapes as well.

Today the Pennies for Peace project was formally introduced to the whole school during morning assembly. We met with Mrs. Hale's class and worked on squares for a culture quilt. Each child's square depicts a favorite food, a favorite activity, favorite clothes, and a family tradition. The students did a wonderful job thinking of meaningful things to represent on these. In the coming weeks we will talk about the culture in Korphe, Pakistan and compare it to our own culture. Please feel free to send in pennies any time. There are now collection jars in every classroom.
