The month of September has been a study in the shape CIRCLE! We have colored circles, matched circles, glued circles, played with circle toys, discussed our favorite circle shaped food, sang circle songs, read circle stories, eaten circle crackers and cookies…basically immersed ourselves in circles!
Our toddlers have had a lot of practice with triangles so far this month. Because we know how important repetition is in order for our toddlers to learn, we incorporated triangles into most of our daily activities! Below you can see how we implement the triangle into different parts of our day.
At our art center our friends practiced sticking tissue paper triangles onto contact paper on our easel.
In one of our small groups we practiced using a glue stick to paste triangles on a bigger triangle and made a triangle mosaic. We also used triangle sponges to paint triangles onto our triangle paper. In the other small group, we made triangles, using popsicle sticks, and practiced counting the 3 sides.
Our toddler friends practiced using a glue stick again in their art project with Ms. Kristen! They made owls using the triangle, too!
We even used snack time to practice making triangles with pretzel rods!
The preschoolers practiced name recognition, direction following, listening skills, and glue stick skills while creating an adorable sea turtle from the Great Barrier Reef!
