HAPPY BIRTHDAY!--EVAN--March 1

MATH
We have been working on 2-D shapes and 3-D solids in math lately. Last week we built skeleton cubes out of marshmallows and toothpicks and then counted how many of each we needed.

PENGUIN PROJECTS
We are continuing our study about penguins. Next up, each child will be writing a research project about one species of penguin. (Did you know that there are 17 different types of penguin?) They will be looking for information on the computer and answering 5 basic questions about their penguin. We will also be painting life-sized portraits of our penguins.

SPELLING GAMES
One of the moms from our class recommended a website that helps children practice their spelling words with various games. The website is called ( www.spellingcity.com) Most of the games are free to play. The children just put in their spelling list words and they are set to play.
