Today during Math we talked about what we noticed about rectangles and squares. Students noticed a rectangle has four straight sides and four corners and so does a square! A square, therefore, is a special kind of rectangle in which all four sides are equal. Students then had time to build shapes with pattern blocks and geo-boards and rubber bands.
Our book today was inspired by our trip to the woods last week, Not a Buzz to be Found: Insects in Winter by Linda Glaser. We learned about how 12 different insects stay warm and safe during the winter months. Our poem this week is Mittens.
Mittens
Red mittens, blue mittens
Mittens for cold weather.
Wool mittens, knit mittens
Fingers all together.
Green mittens, orange mittens,
Yellow mittens too.
Furry mittens, soft mittens
Which ones are for you?
