The Shape of Things

This week we have been working on Geometry for math.  We have talked about 2-d and 3-d.  I use terms such as angles, sides, and faces to describe each shape.  The Bumblebees also had opportunities to build 3-d shapes using different kinds of building blocks. For art, we discussed the shapes on our face and created self-portraits while studying our faces in the mirrors. In science, we continue to do research about space.  Yesterday we watched a short video and I created a model to demonstrate how the moon changes shape. Each student is working on a research project about a moon or planet in the Solar System and should have those wrapped up by the end of next week.





We were reading books and gathering facts about the moon.
