This week we have been learning Nursery Rhymes and reviewing shapes. On Monday, we reviewed the square. We talked about how to make a square (four straight sides, all the same size) and we made a picture of a town using squares as the buildings. We learned the Nursery Rhyme, Wee Willy Winkie. There were also several centers to choose from in our room. They included making squares with art materials, making squares with play dough or on geo boards, and building a town with blocks.
Today, we reviewed the rectangle and went on a rectangle search in the classroom. We learned the Nursery Rhyme Jack Be Nimble and all took turns becoming Jack and jumping over a candlestick. We also made a picture and got to use glitter for the first time this year! We got to go to centers of our choice after work time.
Tomorrow we will be learning the rhyme Jack and Jill. Our shape of the day will be the triangle. We will also be celebrating Ellen's birthday!
