Elf on the Shelf Sightings

Chippy made his own Olaf!

He wants to be a reading superhero just like us.

He made some friends with our stuffed animals. 

Hanging upside down like Spiderman!

Here are a few more things I missed from my last blog post. In math, we've been learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We read a book called The Shape of Things where the illustrator takes ordinary shapes and transforms them into something more. For example, a circle changes into a Ferris wheel. A triangle changes into a sailboat. A square turns into a house. Each student made a page to go into our own "Shape of Things" class book. 

A hexagon is just a hexagon until you add lines. Then it's a sun.

A rhombus is just a rhombus until you add a rectangle. Then it's a truck.

A triangle is just a triangle until you add a table. Then it's a birthday (party). 

A rhombus is just a rhombus until you add a head, tail, and legs. Then it's a dog. 

A square is just a square until you add a circle. Then it's a car.

A square is just a square until you add grass. Then it's a house.

A rhombus is just a rhombus until you add a string. Then it's a kite. 

A trapezoid is just a trapezoid until you add triangle and lines. Then it's a volcano.

A square is just a square until you add smiley face. Then it's a person.

In reading, one of our superpowers is pointing to words we know. We went on a word hunt around our classroom for words we can read all by ourselves!
