Shape Resources!

9/17/2014

We have been hard at work learning about the difference between 2D and 3D shapes during Math Workshop!

Here are a few things we have been using in the classroom that the students absolutely LOVE! We wanted to share so you could watch them together at home.  I am also including a link to an activity on Starfall.com about 2D and 3D shapes.

The final thing I wanted to post is a picture of a castle with this question: Where's the math?  This is a great discussion to have with your child about shapes.  What shapes do you see? What colors? How many triangles are there? What else do you notice?

Have fun!

Songs:

We found a new favorite song for 3D shapes!

Also, here is the 2D shape song!


Starfall Activity:

They also like this game on Starfall for matching 2D and 3D shapes!

We have been hard at work in Kindergarten! We have been doing a great job in Literacy Centers and Reading Groups. We have also met our 5th grade buddies! They will come visit us at least twice a month to help us learn about new things, and they will also teach us how to do things using their iPads! Mrs. Dawson has also started showing us how to cook delicious snacks, and we can't wait to learn more recipes!

Don't forget to use this blog to ask your child about what we are doing in the classroom! These pictures are great conversation starters to bridge the gap between school and home.

We have really been getting into the routine involving Literacy Centers and Guided Reading Groups! The students LOVE this part of the day! They are working hard to learn new concepts and how to work with other students. During this time the students work at various learning centers while Mrs. Dawson and I work with small reading groups one at a time.
