 KinderMath: Taking a Closer Look at Square and Rectangle 

Today we will focus on rectangles and squares in the story, Circus Shapes by Stuart Murphy. After focusing on the attributes of rectangles and squares, the kids will look closely at the faces of the solid shapes and notice the circle base of the cylinder, cone, and square base of a cube. They will have time to explore finding the flat shapes within the solid shapes. Lastly, the kids will lay their solid shapes flat and then trace around them. Once they lift up the solid shape, they will discover a flat shape. 

Students in the high school drama class wrote a play and will be performing it for us at 2:00 today.
