Shapes, shapes, and more shapes!

We will be finishing up our shape unit in the next 2 weeks! We have learned about 2D shapes, 3D shapes, compared 2D and 3D, found shapes in our environment, used position words to tell where shapes are, sorted manipulatives by size, color and shape, and built large shapes from simple shapes. 

Here we practiced making squares on Geoboards.

  

          

          

      

 

   

Here we traced and painted 2D shapes.

We sorted 3D shape snacks! Thank you to the parents that donated these snacks!! :)

We love these songs to help us practice and learn shapes!

Busy Kindergarteners!

Wow! We had another busy, fun week! In Daily 5 we are working hard with Work on Writing! 

In Math we worked with 3-dimensional shapes this week! We learned about faces and vertices. On Friday we sorted snacks based on their 3D shape! We had spheres, cones, cubes, cylinders. 

On Friday, we went on a tour of our cafeteria! We learned how the food we eat for breakfast and lunch is fixed! It was neat to see all the equipment they use- the mixer was bigger than the kids! We had to wear hairnets!! At the end of the tour we received milk and cookies!!

Thank you Ms. Tina for giving us a tour!!

Off and running

We are off and running with Daily 5. We have built our stamina up to 8 minutes with Read to Self! We also started Working on Writing this past week. 

 

During Math we have been working with a number of the week on Mondays and then working with shapes in our shapes unit. We have went on a shape hunt, explored shapes and determined how many sides and vertices they have, made shape pictures, and built shapes with marshmallows and toothpicks!
