Shapes

This past Thursday the students and I had a blast making shapes out of froot loops. I would model how to make a shape under the document camera and the students would make the shape at their desk. After we had made all of the shapes, the students sorted the froot loops by color. We then counted how many froot loops we had for each color. Last, the students made a pattern with their froot loops and their own necklace. The next day, we made shape faces using graham crackers for the rectangle face, candy corn for the triangle eyes, chex for the square nose, and cheerios for the circle smile. When they finished they ate their shape face. We had a great first full week of kindergarten and I am looking forward to having many more.
