On Friday, the kindergarteners reviewed those tricky names for lines from the previous week- horizontal, vertical and diagonal. I then read them "When a Line Bends, A Shape Begins" by Rhonda Growler Greene. Greene's book describes geometric shapes and gives a wonderful rhyming list with matching illustrations of examples. Students tried making the shapes with their hands as I read. The kindergarteners then spotted shapes all around the room and set out to use pre cut shapes to design their art. Finished work included houses, robots, cars, trucks, gardens, parks, and more. Students were also welcome to cut and alter shapes as well to make their picture complete.
Another job well done!
