Welcome back! We had a great first day and kids were eager and happy to pick up right where we left off. We gave the kids some time to visit and find out what everyone did during the break. They tried to find someone they had something in common with ("we both went on a plane"). They created a representation of their vacation using a material of their choice then wrote about it. They set up mini museum displays and visited different museums to listen to their peers share their work.
We are beginning to look at 2D and 3D shapes and today students named and described shapes based on attributes like sides and vertices. This led us into our afternoon building task. Students looked at pictures of world famous and local buildings and described the shapes they say. They had the choice to recreated a building from a picture or create an original. Tomorrow they will name their building and explain the shapes in it and it's purpose.
