Exploring Shapes

Today, we continued our exploration of the various shapes. We read a story with no words and pinpointed all of the shapes in the picture to come to the realization that shapes are everywhere. The students enjoyed discussing what shapes were in the picture. Show the students the pictures and have them review the types of shapes.

Our follow-up activity was on the SmartBoard where we would look at pictures of house and the students would identify and group the different types of shapes.

In centres, the students had the opportunity to create their own pictures and describe what shapes they used. Check out what they created!

 What can you do at home? Have the student go on a scavenger hunt and find the various shapes (triangles, rectangles, squares, circles)

Using technology during centres. The students of Room 108 are enjoying going on ABC Ya and playing letter matching games (please look in resources section for link). If you are able to, have the student show you how to play the game and sound out the letter and match them!
