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! 

We’ve been looking into all things that fly… so why not test out our flying skills! We decorated paper airplanes with paint and them took outside for a spin! Some of the early 3’s even figured out that by getting on top of the slide, they  could throw their plane even farther!

We introduced our shape of the month this morning during small groups. The preschoolers counted the sides of a square and used square sponges to cover their square picture. We played ‘I Spy Squares’ and searched for squares all over our classroom. Play ‘I Spy Squares’ at home with your little one, see how many squares you can discover!

This afternoon the children used sponges to paint circles.  We used all different colors to make our beautiful circles!  These circles will be used for a special project for the art show!  They also had fun painting all over their pumpkins!
