We just began a short chapter about ordinal numbers and position words.  Students have been learning to find first, second, third, etc. from both the left and the right sides.  We are also reviewing position words such as next to, above, below, under, behind, last, etc.

We are currently learning about plane and solid shapes.  Plane shapes are circles, rectangles, squares, and triangles.  Did you know that a square is a special type of rectangle?

Solid shapes include rectangular prism, sphere, pyramid, cube, and cone.  Be on the look out for these shapes in your house!
