Good Afternoon!

Shapes was the main topic of our PREK1 sign in this morning! Each group member got to blindly choose a shape from a bag, identify it, and match it to the same shape on the sign in board. Inevitably, we always have younger peers standing around, watching sign in take place. Our friends who are signing in always do such a great job at sharing things like, “This is called a hexagon—it has six sides.”

K.4.1: Identify and describe geometric objects: circle, triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, trapezoid, hexagon, octagon, parallelogram, sphere, and cube.

This morning we worked on making shapes using rubber bands and peg boards. Some of us made individual shapes and we identified the shapes they made. Others made larger creations like an airplane or a guitar. As we looked, we found that there were shapes we could identify within the creation. The body of the airplane made a rectangle. The shape of the guitar turned out to be a triangle.

We explored a color matching activity this morning using colored water and colored lids. We collected water with spoons or eye droppers and tried finding the lid of the same color. We helped as a group to identify all of the colors we would need on the table so all of the different lids would have a corresponding water pitcher. Later, friends wanted to mix the colors so we let them explore openly!
