• Math
• This week we have worked on Geometry and shapes
  such as circles, squares, triangles, and
  rectangles. We sent home the beginning part of
  the math booklets this week with your kiddo and
  some of the pages are blank because we did them
  whole group or we created shapes with our shape
  building tools. We used mini marshmallows for
  the verticies and pretzel sticks for the sides.
  We will be wrapping up our unit on Geometry
  before the Spring Break next week. Extra math
  practice will go home next week to get ready for
  the test for Thursday. Kindergarten is
  SHAPETACULAR!
