Good Afternoon!

We kicked off our week by talking about the shapes that we discussed last week! Each PREK1 group member came to the sign in board where they chose a shape and sorted it based on the number of sides their shape had. As they taped their shape onto the board, they identified other shapes that were in the same group, which meant that they had a similarities surrounding the number of sides each shape had.

K.G.2: Compare shapes using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, and parts (e.g. number of sides, length of sides, and vertices).

This morning we explored different ways to put shapes together in the art center.  We used classroom materials that we use every day to create a shape painting.  This helped us to notice the variety of shapes present in our favorite building materials as we created images with them.  Some kids said the trio blocks reminded them of bricks or roads as they stamped them on the paper.  Others realized some of the shapes contained more than one shape, like the trio blocks were rectangles made of squares.

At the round table we put shapes together to create new shapes.  Hannah found she could make a hexagon using a variety of other shapes.  She also found she could make her hexagon in more than one way. 

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with marinara and shredded cheddar cheese, fresh honey dew melon/banana and fresh peppers/cucumbers.

PM Snack: Whole milk yogurt with graham crackers.

Wee Sprouts: Fresh cucumbers/peppers.

Have a great afternoon!
