All about Shapes

For the next two weeks, we are learning all about shapes. This is a large math unit that we do in TK. I love this unit because there are so many cute projects that you can do. 

One of my favorite ones is the Pete the Cat shapes. I found this on Pinterest a while back and adapted it for my little ones. It is great to reinforce shapes, position words, following directions, and endurance.  Plus they are super cute and all have such personality. 

We also did a shape hunt. The students had to find different shapes around the room and draw the object in the corresponding shape. They were so creative with what they picked to use. 

I'm also teaching the students how to trace, which is a difficult motor skill for this age. They did really well with it. 

We also did a little cutting practice at the beginning of the week. I gave each student three pieces of paper with different lines. They had to follow the lines with their scissors and then glue the pieces on paper.  I was so proud of their cutting skills. 

Next week will continue with shapes but we will also start learning our letters. There is a lot more fun coming up.
