Math: 3D Shapes Exploration/Writing #'s 2, 3, 4, 5 
 I have something new for your to look at today. (3D shapes) Take the items out of your bag and explore them for a bit.  Now imagine you are a bird.  Look at them from above what to do you see?  Can you see any shapes? (circle? Square?). Now imagine you are a bug. What are you noticing? (they are not flat).  Right! These are called solids or 3D shapes. You know how when you go to see a 3D movie, the picture jumps out at you? 3D shapes have are not only tall, wide, and deep (use your hands to add context to these words) 
Whole Group Explore: We are going to go on a shape hunt. You and your partner will take a clip board and see if you can find some of these shapes in the room. 
Student Application: Students will practice numeral formation 1-5.  
Students will match the 3D shape with the object. 
 Irish Connections: The kids will meet their Irish Connections teacher today. Again, your child is in a group of students K-6 who meet with the same teacher each late start day for the duration of their elementary career. The idea is to have more connections with people in our school. Watch for a notice today in your child's folder of whom they have for a teacher.
