This week, we are loving our unit on shapes. We are focusing on the 2-dimensional shapes that we see around us.
On Monday, I gave each groups different shapes and asked them to sort them any way that they chose. Most groups sorted by color:





Today, we went on a shape hunt around the school to identify shapes that we see everyday around our school.














After returning to the classroom, we recorded the shapes we found in our math journals.




Please continue to check back tomorrow as we work to answer the question, "can you fill a circle completely with squares?"
