Sphere Day

We are studying 3D shapes and today was a about spheres! (Or spears as most of them say:)

We made some spheres out of clay and then raced them down a ramp. We measured the longest distance with a yard stick.  The kids then had a chance to go back and try to make their sphere more round to see if they could get it to roll longer.

Focus Wall this Week

Here is our Language Arts focus areas for the week.


In Math we are going to focus on pennies and nickels and learn an exchange game with those coins.  Later in the week, we are going to start 3D shapes.
