Squares, Triangles, and Rectangles...Oh My!

Make a shape, build a block! 
That is the name of our new math unit!  We've been studying 2-d and 3-d shapes, too! 
The focus this month is on:
*shapes
*angles
*edges (straight edge or curved edge)
*prism
*cube
*cylinder
*cone
*dimension
As you can tell, Kindergarten has changed!  We have higher expectations in math and the kids are absorbing it!  They are little sponges! 
 Your child has been exploring shapes/angles/edges to create pattern block puzzle pictures, as well as making straight/curved edges to manipulate  
rubber-bands on  geo-boards.
We've, also, taken shapes to turn them into a picture which helped us notice that
SHAPES ARE EVERYWHERE!
Here's our motto this month:  
 Can we build it?  Yes, we can! 
We're loving shapes!
