Shapes are EVERYWHERE!

At Dugan, we have been working on shapes! Thank you families for donating items around your house to make our robots and rocket ships. For the conclusion, we made rocket ships and robots. Here are some of the creations hanging in the wall outside the classroom.

Also, Mrs. Irvin's class had some fun looking at food seeing what kind of shapes where in food. We found a cookie to be a circle, Bugels to be a cone, marshmallows to be a cylinder, and so much more!  Using the shapes they found in their food, they made a graph. Here is an example:

Here is a game we have been playing in class to help learn shapes if you would like to play with your children.

Also, children might like finding shapes around the house. Happy shape hunting!!
