The children are also invited to bring in special afternoon snacks this week.  
The teachers will work extra hard not notice the nutritional value of the afternoon munchies the kids bring up to class.  
We do ask that you make sure that all of the snacks are peanut and nut free since we have children with those food allergies in fourth grade.

 Thank you so much for all that you do!

3D Shapes fun!

We define 3D shapes as geometric figures that have three dimensions, width, depth and height. 3D shapes differ from 2D shapes because they have thickness.  They are often thought of as solids, but can also be hollow, like an empty box.  We classify 3D shapes by the number and size of their faces, the number of their vertices, and by the number and size of their edges.

Faces - these are the flat parts of the 3D shape.

Edges - these are the sides of the faces, where two faces meet.

Vertices (Vertex) - These are the corners or points of the shape.

Lots to remember so we decided to make it fun!  We were learning and eating 3D shapes:
