Shapes

This week our theme was “Shapes”.  We work on shapes throughout the school year and this week helped to kick things off!  The children matched shapes, sorted shapes, built a shape house, created a noodle shape and sang/danced to the shape hokey-pokey! 

Next week our theme will be “Apples”.  The children will be creating mosaic apples out of paper squares & painting an apple core. We will also work on matching, colors, shapes & journaling.  Wow, we are going to be busy!  Our letter for the week will be Aa.  Please take time each week to review our letter and discuss items that begin with that letters sound.
