We reviewed shapes while looking at a picture of a playground. Everyone did a great job of using positional words to describe where the shape they found was located! We also spent some time describing how we knew each shape was a square, circle, rectangle, or triangle.
During circle time, we read a story about shapes. We did a great job of trying to find all of the shapes in the pictures! The story introduced us to some new types of shapes - spheres, cylinders, rectangular prisms, and cones.
We spent some time discussing the difference between a circle and sphere, triangle and cone, rectangle and rectangular prism, square and cube, and circle and cylinder. After some discussion, we realized that circles, squares, triangles, ovals, and rectangles are flat while our new shapes have more than one side! We touched some of our new shapes and looked at some items that were our new shapes, such as a birthday hat, ball, box, and container.
Then we went on a shape hunt! We put on our good looking eyes and walked through the hallways and outside to see what shapes we could find! We found all sorts of shapes everywhere. Some of us even found our new shapes that we learned about, especially cylinders and cones. We even discovered other shapes, such as octagons and hexagons! It was a beautiful day to take a walk outside and discover shapes in our own environment!
Today we also visited centers. Everyone rotated to a new center that they did not do yesterday. The centers were a Hey Diddle Diddle grid game, a Hey Diddle Diddle rhyming game, and using fine motor skills to make a name constellation.
In the afternoon, we had a birthday celebration!
We also had some play time. Some of us got a turn to play in the Early Childhood classroom too!
We ended the day by playing outside! Have a great evening! :)
