Shapes and Colors, Oh My!

I can't find my exact set.

This is the closest one I can find.

It will be a bummer if I ever lose one! :( 

We do a color of the day as part of our calendar.

Each day is a different color.

Each day, I put up a new poster.

When I start school, the walls are blank on purpose.

Read about our color board HERE.

Read about our color table HERE. 

After we do color of the day, we do shape of the day.

We start with the shape of the day board.

Read about that HERE.

Before we do journals, I give them a piece of paper.

I think it is about 1/8 of an 8x11 sheet.

I tell them to "frost the cookie"

we try to use the whole piece because no one wants a small cookie!

I cut out shapes from construction paper wrote the name of the shape on it.

We taped the "cookie shapes" on top.

Thats it!

We randomly got an orange crayon bag.

I put all of the toys into the bag or crayons and put them 

in our classroom mailbox.

I just put them out on the table, and the kids just explore 

what's in them.

How I display the cutouts. The children select a graphic 

to color and then color them.

They they glue them down.

There is a white tray too, apparently I didn't snap a photo :( 

It was pretty pathetic, like the black tray.
