Shapes in our World..




We used the SMART tables in our classroom this week! The SMART table is like a big iPad as a table.  The students work as a team to play games, answer questions, and explore!  As we worked together, we learned more about colors and shapes.  Thank you to the volunteers who helped us with this!

Making shapes at the SMART table


To remember the shapes and their attributes, we made shape puppets!  Each puppet has its own name: Cindy Circle, Sandy Square, Ricky Rectangle, and Tommy Triangle.  These puppets will help us to describe and identify these shapes.

We also made a Shape Monster Glyphs!  Everyone loved making their monsters unique!

Leah, Ravelle, and Matthew’s Monster Glyphs



A fun way to begin drawing people, is to use shapes! Using sponge painting, we made Shape Friends!

Alia’s shape friends



Great job on the mystery bags this week!  What wonderful clues and items beginning with /s/!  We learned how to write the lowercase and uppercase Ss, brainstormed words that begin with the /s/ sound, and began to phonetically spell some of the words.  Check out some of the activities we do with the Letter of the Week!

Roll an Ss!
