Quarter 2- week 7

Welcome Back 2nd Grade Families,

I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving Break.  The second grade students will continue to work on 2D & 3D shapes.  Your second grader will use common shapes to create new shapes, tell the difference between straight and curved lines as well as identify and continue a pattern according to 2 attributes (color, shape, size, or orientation)  

As far as projects goes, we will finish up “Everything Matters” either this week OR next week and present our ideas to our fellow 2nd grade classmates.  We have quite the group of creative, scientific thinkers in 2nd grade!

Here is homework for Week 16...

Monday	IXL T.6 Compare sides and angles
Tuesday	IXL T.5 Count edges vertices and faces
Wednesday	pg. 155 & 156
Thursday	pg. 161 & 162

A Note from Mrs. Rowlett

Welcome back second grade families, I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. Last week in Language Arts we reviewed standards learned earlier in the year and completed assessments.  This week we will be back on schedule and will have a book to read and a response log each night.  Also a Scholastic book order went home on Tuesday.  If you would like to order the deadline for online orders is December 11 and orders returned to the class is December 3.  

Have a great week!

Math News

Diamond vs. Rhombus

We are in the process of shapes both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes…

2-D shapes consist of: circle, oval, square, hexagon, octagon, rectangle etc.

3-D shapes consist of: pyramid, cone, cylinder, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, sphere etc.

During the years of your child’s Early Childhood Development they call a rhombus a “diamond.”  However, as we get into the Nevada State Content Standards, a diamond is not a shape, it is a rhombus which puts it into the category with parallelograms.  A rhombus is a flat shape with 4 equal straight sides.  At Oasis Academy we will refer to a “diamond” as a rhombus.  

This is a diamond… These are all considered rhombus shapes...
