SHAPES, SHAPES, SHAPES



We are having fun with 2D and 3D shapes! 
We had some fantastic shapes brought from home!  We are amazed that shapes are all around us!
 These crackers inside their wrapper make a cylinder shape, but when they are separate we have flat circles.
 More cylinders!
  Cones and prisms!


 Spheres are our favorite!
We like to play with balls and eat oranges!
We each had an orange today!!


We know that shapes can be put together to make new shapes!!

We used play-doh and sticks to build a shape.

 We decided to work together in groups to build more shapes using pretzels and marshmallows.  We knew it would be tricky so we made a list of some of the problems we might have and how we could fix them!

We learned that teamwork is important!

 We had fun counting the sides and the vertices!





 This was almost a cube!!






We can't wait to learn more about shapes!  Thanks to all parents for helping your child at home and for participating in our learning activities!

Fun in February!

We have had lots of fun in February!

Here are some pictures of our Valentines Party!  We had yummy treats, fun with friends and even dancing!  Kindergarten is the place to be!
