The preschoolers had so much fun with this activity! There were 7 bins filled with various sensory materials: rice, black beans, white beans, macaroni noodles, sand, mostaccoli noodles, and grains. Every student had to search through the bins to find shapes with their name on them: circle, oval, diamond, trapezoid, octagon, etc. Once found, they needed to glue them on their grid in the correct spot where the shape was labeled. What a fun way to review all the shapes we talked about for this month's geometry theme.
We worked on making AB patterns today with our geometric shapes, students worked on tangrams and geometric pictures as well. We also sang our Spanish shape song "Yo se mis formas" or "I know my shapes." During circle time, we read a cute story about clever mice outwitting a cat in "Mouse Shapes." We ate graham cracker rectangles and/or squares for snack time.
Our letter of the day was Xx. We rhymed ox, box and fox and listened to and watched on the tv from the computer the ABC Twiggles e-book about a fox with a box and an ox with some rocks.
We also had our midway letter sound and identification assessment.
We read our SAM book site words at circle time and pre-kinders got their own set to take home for their letter rings.
