All About Shapes!

This week we are learning about shapes. We are talking about how shapes are different, where we see shapes, and different ways to sort shapes.

On Monday we talked all about what shapes are and can be. We made this anchor chart together as a class:


Today in class we started this anchor chart comparing shapes. We discussed circles and rectangles. Students loved searching the room and finding different shapes. We will add a shape each day this week and then at the end of the week we will be able to go back and compare all of the shapes. 



It has been quite rainy these last few days so in order to get rid of the rainy day blues I thought we would do something fun and do some painting with marshmallows. Yes, marshmallows!

Students had a great time using marshmallows to paint circles :)






The kiddos loved this, so of course I loved it too!

We also used the eraser end of our pencils to create circles that were a different size. 




Who knew shapes could be so fun?!
