Shapes Are All Around Us

Math has been all about shapes in 1-Thomson! To complete our Math in Focus chapter on plane and solid shapes, we created "shape people" and brought them to life using Chatterpix.  Watch the video below to meet our shapes!

Common Core Standards:

1.G.A.1: Distinguish between defining attributes of shapes; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes

1.G.A.2: Compose two-dimensional shapes or three-dimensional shapes to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape

Mystery Readers

It is so much fun when a Mystery Reader visits us in 1-Thomson!  Over the past few weeks, Mystery Readers have been joining us to read a favorite picture book to the class.  It is not only exciting to be surprised with a mystery guest, but Mystery Readers also model how to read aloud with fluency and expression.  Some stories we've heard so far have been Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins, If Mom Had Three Arms, The Ninjabread Man, and Home Alone.

Thank you for visiting!  We are looking forward to more Mystery Readers in the coming weeks!   If you are interested in joining us as a Mystery Reader, please contact me...we'd love to have you!
