We've had a variety of experiences with shapes and geometry these past few days. This week we wrapped up with a few activities: building a shape from a visual cue, finding congruent sides to a block, writing a riddle about our "favorite shape," and putting together a beautiful shape quilt. The children are familiar with shapes and their names and have created a few of their own shapes. They stumped the first graders with their "favorite shape riddles" (i.e. "my favorite shape has no sides...answer ? circle") and are readily able to make new shapes from combined shapes.
Until Next Time,
Michele
