That's the Shape of Things

We had a great time learning about shapes this week.

We are also working hard on reading shape words.

We ordered the numbers we are learning with

help from our caterpillar....

.....and with help from a friend too.

 The Smile of Success!

 Our snack time was a yummy way to reinforce

what we have been learning this week.

 Mrs. Jackson used "square" scarves in music class.  We listened and moved our scarves to the music.

Sometimes we moved fast.

Sometimes we moved slow.

.....but mostly fast.

In Spanish class, Mrs. McKnight showed us

la bandera rectangulo from Mexico.

 We have also started working on writing numbers.

These kiddos love using clipboards while

practicing their number writing.

 It was too pretty not to take a little break.

 They love hanging around on the playground.

Oh Yeah, I'm "punny" that way.

 This has nothing to do with anything but they can't

help but bring these locust (cicada) shells to me when they

find them.  We spend a good bit of time observing them.
I dare you to ask them about that.

 I was really impressed with their cutting

skills. Circles are not easy but they did an

AWESOME job.

I really love their finished project!!

I just don't have enough room to display all

their masterpieces!

 Hurricane Isaac produced a little indoor time for us.

 Play is such hard work but they learn so much!

 I am always so amazed at what they create.

 They were so proud of themselves.  They made
their tower touch the ceiling!  Color me impressed!

Ryan built his truck and "drove" it all
over the place. There's something about boys and their wheels.

 Rachel created some cool pictures with the tangrams.

Amaia just completed here "shape frog".  Stop

by and see our speckled frogs on their speckled logs.

And we might even sing you a song!

 We always end our week with share time.
They stand in front of the class and give
clues about their objects.  The others have to really LISTEN
to all the clues and guess what's in the bag.

Some are very clever.  They even "fool the teacher" but
come Friday afternoon, that's really not saying much. lol

Sorry I missed Catherine's picture but
I was all caught up in guessing. She had 
a really good one.

 Katie's share was a big hit.  She even told the
kids about the movie but she said she couldn't tell us how it
ended because she hasn't seen it all yet. We didn't spoil it for her.

Doesn't that look like a teacher in the making. Too Cute!

In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
