On Friday afternoon, the Preps went on a Shape Walk around our school grounds. We all looked for the same shapes—circles, triangles, rectangles, squares or another kind of shape, and we kept track of how many shapes we found by taking pictures.
On our Shape Walk, we practiced:
• matching, naming and describing basic shapes
• learning about the characteristics of the basic shapes
• gathering information from the environment
• using positional words such as over, under, near, next to, etc
This is a great activity to try at home, as it will help your child to become more familiar with shapes and their features.
