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.
