Au/aw, Shapes, and Maps!

We had a great week together!  We focused on the au/aw sounds and we made the letters into cute babies that made us say "awww!" to remember the sound.  We also finished up our time unit and talked about shapes in math this week.  We discussed squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles.  We had the best time making triangles different ways with our shape blocks!  In social studies, we learned about maps and globes.  We had Caden's dad, who is a map-maker for movie and TV shows, come and talk to us!  He even gave all the kids a real map from the newest SpongeBob movie.  It was pretty cool.  We learned maps have a title, directions, and special landmarks.  We also spent time learning the names of the seven continents and the oceans.  Enjoy the pictures!
