Elmer and Shapes

E was the letter of week.

We read the book "Elmer" and made elphants.

We began talking about shapes.

We learned a quadrilateral is a shape with 4 sides.

We searched the playground for shapes and found circles, squares, rectangles

and even trapezoids!

Morah Katie: What shape is Dena's napkin?

Dena: Square

Morah Katie: Is it a quadrilateral?

Tori: Yes.

Morah Katie: Why?

Tori: It has 4 sides.

Morah Katie: Is a triangle a quadrilateral?

Noah: No

Morah Katie: Why?

Levi: It only has 3 sides!

At group time we sang an action song:

"A little helicopter flying high....

Searching for a (circle/square/trapezoid) from the sky...

On the ground she spots the (_____)

And circles its from way up high!"

Our week would not have been complete without some,

Creating,

Balancing,

Playing.
