The Young Fives class has spent the last few weeks learning about shapes in art and in every day life. They spent time practicing coloring and tracing in shapes to lead up to the next weeks project: shape people. Then, students practiced cutting shapes out carefully and pasting them onto a scene. Afterwards, we reviewed shapes using building blocks. Everyone was given 10 minutes to just simply construct buildings and see how their blocks fit together. This lead to us playing the shape hunt game. I would call out a shape to the students and they would have to see if they could find the shape and hold it up for me from their blocks.
