SOLID SHAPES





PLANE SHAPES

Today, students gave examples of solid shaped objects they find in their world. Rachamim could find pyramids in Egypt. Eitan could find televisions that are cube-shaped. We also discused the differnce between two dimensional and three dimensional object. Two dimensional objects have length and width, while three dimensional objects have length, width, and depth. Two dimensional objects are called Plane shapes and are flat. Three dimensional objects are Solid shapes and "look real." We just wrapped up chapter 17, Plane Shapes, and are moving into chapter 18, Solid Shapes.

Rachamim has taken chapter 18 home with him, and should bring it back when he returns. The packet does NOT have to be complete when he returns.

We also visited Harold the giraffe at the LEAP program site. The students were very excited, and had lots of fun sharing what they know about good health and proper nutrition.
