I apologize for such a long break in blogging! I am determined to get back to it as soon as possible, and I thought I'd start with what happened after the holidays and just before my absence from the classroom-- our shape exploration!
As I'm sure most of you have heard (and sang... hopefully not over and over and OVER again!) we have been learning a variety of shape songs and poems to help us identify 2D and 3D shapes. When I left, we were exploring a variety of 2D shapes, using the 2D Shape Song and Shape Monster poem. As part of that, we decided to go on a shape hunt.
First, we found many objects that were either a circle, square, rectangle, and triangle. We sorted them and talked about what they looked like.

| The ball of yarn was VERY creative! |
 |
| These might not look like squares, but it's truly the camera angle! |
Next, we decided to MAKE SHAPES WITH OURSELVES! It was a lot of fun... especially figuring out how to make our bodies into a rectangle, and not a square.
 |
| Triangle! |
 |
| Circle. (Well... we tried our best). |
 |
| Square-- all sides are one person long |
 |
| Two long people and two squishy people! |
Overall, it was a good time to look at shapes! We are now past shapes in our song, so look for lots of holiday celebrations coming soon!
