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!

 

Shape of the Day Part 2

 I have my students trace shapes on the easel, 

right before we draw them on paper.

I tell them they need to color in the shape like they are 

frosting/icing a cookie.

No one wants an unfrosted cookie!

They draw and color them in, then I display them on the board.

This year, I added the shapes behind their art, 

but last year, I just drew the shapes on construction paper.

This was last year's:

Shapes Board

 Here's what's going on for our learning board.  It changed from our Color Board and will change again!

The main pieces come from HERE.

I dropped those cute little Scholastic mini-books in a page protector.

I also read a Pip book, but I only have one about all of the shapes and

not the ones that are about each different shape.

I laminated one of two sheets for the students.

They are clipped on a clipboard and stay

on that clipboard the whole time.

We use, check, and then erase.

Poems from HERE.

In the lower left-hand corner (which is cut off)I grabbed these sheets here. 

I was able to print them, but for whatever reason, I couldn't save them, It's so weird!
