Learning About Shapes!

This will be a short post but I just wanted to post a few pictures of our kinders working with shapes this week.  Although we have discussed and used shapes throughout the year, especially during play based learning and our art investigation... This week we officially started learning about 2D shapes.

Here are some pictures.

Students explored different ways to sort the shapes.

We used shaving cream to practice drawing shapes.

Students have been using pattern blocks to create insects.

They also practiced tracing and describing shapes.

Students also have been using loose parts to practice symmetry in both the clay and loose parts areas.
