Square Day!

Sammy Square is  my name

My 4 sides are all the same!

 Today was SQUARE DAY!

We learned that a square has 4 EQUAL sides!

We used our rulers to help us find squares around the room!

We also used our rulers to help us make squares of our own!

Ta Ra Ra BOOM De-AY

I Drew a Square Today!

My square it has 4 sides

Each one of Equal size!

My square became a house!

Inside I drew a mouse.

Smiling out that window there--

Drawn with a square!

Really... there's not many toys that are as entertaining than a GEOBOARD!

These Geoboards were so much fun to build shapes!

 We used the pegs on the boards to help us count and make sure our squares had 4 equal sides!

We found that we could make lots of different shapes with our Geoboards too!

Circles, Circles, Circles!

Did you know that we can find SHAPES ALL AROUND US??!

Today we learned about CIRCLES!

To start out the day, we made circle chains with pipe cleaners.... um, no one could ever find a cooler "zipper-pull"... which they all turned out to be!

Later on, we made our own snack with circles! Crank out those fine motor skills, and get to work!

We have so many fun friends!!

"Ring Around the Rosies", anyone?! Look at that circle shape we made with our bodies!

We then put on our aprons and PAINTED WITH CIRCLES!!

 We learned there are so many items in our homes that are in the shape of a circle!

 Jars, lids, toilet paper rolls, oranges, and even lego tops!

One of our favorite things to paint circles with was: BUBBLE WRAP! How fun is that?!

I look like a wheel going round and round!
