Shapes!

In math, we have been exploring and learning about shapes. Each day we introduced a new shape. We talked about how that shape was unique. We compared it with other shapes to see the differences. We learned a song about each shape and made a shape puppet. We went on shape hunts, made patterns with shapes and did art projects with shapes. To finish up our mini shape unit, we made a book called "Shape Monster". We read each page and added the correct shape to that page. Then we read it together. It was a pattern book so each page was similar. It said, Shape Monster, Shape Monster, munch, munch, munch...how about a yellow square for your lunch. This book gave us good practice on reading color words and shape words. Today we are finishing making our own shape monsters on large construction paper. Each monster has to have all six shapes we have been working on including the square, circle, rectangle, triangle, oval and diamond. We are also going to make shape families.

Nursery Rhyme Party

We had a wonderful time sharing our favorite Nursery Rhymes with each other. We had a parade through the office, preschool and Galaxy kids. We sat in a circle and took turns reciting our nursery rhymes. We ate a cookie we made into a cat with pretzels and m & ms. We played a games of charades. We made a class book "Jack Be Nimble". We made Hickory Dickory Dock books with stamps. We made dot painting pictures. It was very fun! Thank you to all of the Volunteers who helped with this party.
