Can you believe that we only 8 weeks of school left? This year has really flown by and before you know it we will have second graders. With that being said, we still have so much to do before the end of May. We are still learning and reviewing. I continue to encourage you all to read with your children daily. You know the saying, “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it?” It is so true. The more the kids read, the better they become. We are working on our last math unit of the year as well. The students really enjoy this unit and learning about shapes and fractions. Please continue to practice basic math facts daily. I promise that these things will pay off! Have a great week! -Mrs. Pace Did you know? *A square has 4 sides and 4 corners (vertices) *A rectangle has 4 sides and 4 vertices, but two sides are longer than the others. *A triangle has 3 sides and 3 vertices. *A pentagon has 5 sides and 5 vertices. *A trapezoid has four sides and 4 vertices. *A circle has 0 sides and 0 vertices.
