In Math this week, we will be learning all about 3D shapes!! We are so excited to start learning about solid shapes! We will learn about spheres, cones, cylinders, and cubes. We will learn about the attributes that 3D shapes have like faces, edges, and vertices. We will also recognize 3D shapes in the world around us. 



Science

This week in Science we will continue our unit of living things and plants. We will sort plants by their physical characteristics (color, size, or leaf shape). We will learn about the basic parts of a plant and the life cycle of a plant which includes the seed -to- seedling- to- plant -to- flower- to- producing fruit. We will visit our TCE garden to find all the different types of seeds that have been planted and how they are growing. We will measure, take pictures, compare and contrast, etc. at our garden. All are welcome to come see our TCE Garden.



Social Studies

This week in Social Studies we will be creating maps of our neighborhoods and using Map keys to show us how to read a map. Our maps will include, houses, streets, lakes, building, etc. We will continue learning about directions (North, East, South, West), and how tools like a map, globe, and compass rose can help us!
