Throughout this unit, students will read stories that will teach them about famous inventors, technology, and even robots designed to help children! We will be studying the contributions of these inventions and focusing on how they helped us create solutions to every day problems.

This month, students will be starting Unit 6, which focuses on Geometry, Time, and Money. We will begin with learning to identify attributes of shapes such as sides, corners, and shape names, as well as learning that shapes are able to be split into halves, thirds, and fourths. Students will then move to time, where they will use an analog clock to identify and label times in five minute increments. Students will end the unit by learning the value of coins and dollars, and being able to identify how much money they have when given a combination of the two.
