Learning about Squares and the World around Us!

We began to learn our third shape of the year. The Square! We saw that a square has 4 sides and we noticed how it is different from a circle and triangle. (Distinguishing between squares and rectangles happens next year in Nursery.) We found toys in our classroom that are square shaped and we made a square collage.

 

 

We've also began to study the world around us. We began with the sun and moon. We discussed that the sun is at day and the moon is at night. We played a game with a moon and sun picture. We turned off the lights when the moon was held up and pretended to sleep. Then we woke up and turn on the lights when the sun came up. We also discussed the ocean and land. We discussed that fish live in the ocean/water. People and animals live on land. We made a ocean and land collage that will aid us in our upcoming learning of seeds and plants.

 

 

On Friday, we went downstairs and watched the rain come down. We discussed that the rain washes everything and how the trees love the rain and drink it up.
