Shapes and Parts of a Plant. Happy SPRING BREAK y'all!

Happy Spring Break everyone! I hope everyone has a fun and safe 9 days off.
In math this week, we learned about 2D shapes. I didn’t get to introduce 3D shapes because we didn’t have time but I plan on doing that when we get from Spring Break. The unit of shapes is always fun for kids to learn. In class we did a lot of fun hands on learning this week with shapes. Below are some pictures of activities we did this week. 
Góc= vetix/vertices (corners)
Cạnh= sides
The kids really caught on fast on learning about vertices and sides.







 This activity was trickier than it looked! As I was modeling to the kids this activity, I was having a little trouble. (Yes, even teachers don’t get things perfect the first time.) As the kids saw me try to figure this out, we talked about how sometimes in life we don’t get things perfect the first time and we have to keep on trying until we accomplish what we are trying to do. With this discussion, it prevented any potential meltdowns in class J



In science this week, we learned parts of a plant and what plants need to survive.
 Cây Cần= Plants Need
Air= Không Khí
Food= Đồ Ăn (We talked about how a plant’s food is the sun)
Water= Nước
Soil/Dirt =Đất

Look at these cute flowers!
 Bộ Phận của Cây= Parts of a Plant
Bông Hoa= Flower
Lá =Leaf
Thân Cây =Stem
Rễ =Roots



We had science buddies outside this week with our 5th graders. Our fabulous 5th graders were kind enough to teach us about filtering water. The kids have really bonded with their 5th grade buddies. 


On Tuesday, our orange crew had our 1st grade folk dance. The kids did such a great job. The kids have been practicing for months now. What really impressed me was that they were learning the entire dance steps for their folk dance PLUUUUS all their dance choreography for the Tết show at the same time. Good job kids! We had lots of proud parents and teachers! Parents, please keep these tie-die shirts. We will be wearing them on April 8th for our last field trip of the year to the Austin Nature Center.
