Shapes and more Shapes

Last week we finished our unit on shapes. The students had so much fun creating and playing with all the different shapes. 

One of the books that went with the theme was "A Fishy Shape Story" by Joanna and David Wylie. 

This is an old book, though a great one when it comes to learning about shapes. After reading it a few times, I had the students make their own shape fish. They turned out so cute. 

The students also did some shape cutting practice. It was really interesting to watch the students manipulate the different shapes with their scissors. Cutting is a new skill they are all working on. 

The last big activity we did was make mouse shapes. This project came out so cute and unique. I absolutely love how they all turned out. 

The students all added a background to their mouse. It was really cute to hear the stories of where their mice were and what they were doing in the pictures.
