Dear Parents,I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day with family and friends.
On Monday, our class will be learning about 3-dimensional shapes. Students will be learning vocabulary to describe the 3-dimensional shapes and their properties. To integrate language arts into the lesson, students will also learn how to describe locations. You may want to engage in the following extension activities with your child over the long weekend:
- Look For Figures. Go on a figure search with your child. Look for items that are 3-dimensional figures such as spheres (a ball), cones (a funnel), cylinders (paper towell rolls), rectangular prisms (a shoe box), and cubes (blocks of notepapers). Encourage other family members to join and see who can find the most figures!
- Take A Good Look. As you're driving a car or taking a walk, have your child look for structures shaped like the figures explained above. Can he or she find a house or an apartment building shaped like a rectangular prism? What are the shapes for a telephone pole, mailbox, and stop sign?
In our class, your child is completeing a Shapes Book project for 2nd Advisory that may be brought home to share with you where he/ she is applying basic and advanced properties of the concepts of geometry. I look forward to any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
MARIA ANGALA
Room 118
