Preschool Days 2

Another wonderful day of preschool in the Wolfe house!  My little guy enjoyed getting to paint with q-tips.

Here are somethings we did.

We practiced shapes by trying to trace the shape word.  Then we used q-tips and painted dots around the shape.  

He really enjoyed doing this.  He took his time and was trying to get in the circles on the paper. 

Check out these wonderful shape worksheets HERE.

He does a great job with knowing what a triangle and a circle are.  He can easily identify them to me.



Next we worked on a shape that I knew he was having trouble with.  We talked about what shape it was and how all the sides are the same size.  Then we found some things in our kitchen that were squares.  Last, I had him trace the word square and then paint it. (I was amazed at his tracing this time.  He took his time and really tried to stay right on the dotted lines.  We are making progress. :))

Next we worked on the letter A.  He wants to call it O so we can't going over and over that it is an A.  On this paper he had to find all the A's and color them.  He was able to do this!  His coloring is a little crazy but that will come in time.

After finding all the A's he had another coloring page that had an uppercase A and a lowecase a on it. Plus it had an ant.  He has been working on that throughout the day.

Next we worked on ABC Mouse for a little while and then  he wanted to take a break. 

                                       

He worked really hard today and I am super proud of him.

Here is a short video I made of what all we did.

Fun way to teach Shapes

Shapes

My class is learning about shapes during math class.  Today for math I decided to have some fun with learning about shapes.  After we did our math worksheet, I put all the boys together and all the girls together on a team.  I put both teams in a spot around the room.  I told them I was going to say a shape and they would have to make that shape out of their bodies.  The other day I introduced a trapezoid and a hexagon by having students lay down on the carpet making the shape.  So today the students had the background of how I put the students in different spots to make some of the shapes.  I explained to the groups that they had to work together to create the shape.  The shape may involve everyone or it doesn't have to.  My boys were really good at this!  They were able to make the shapes very quickly.  In order for the students to make the shapes they have to know how many sides and vertices each shape has.  Here are some pictures of our shapes.  They did so great!
