Diamonds, Ovals and Families

Ovals , Diamonds and Families


Today the older class finished out cutting their shapes. We practiced tracing our names and then writing our names without the tracing. We played shape match over and over.

After reviewing our previous shapes, Diamonds and Ovals were introduced. We looked at pictures of things that are the shape of diamonds or ovals. We glued ovals and diamond shapes with letters of our names, to our names. For snack we had hard boiled eggs because they were shaped like ovals, and rice krispie diamonds instead of squares.


We talked about families today. We learned that families are people who love us. Some members of our family lives with us, and some don't. Some families have brothers and sisters and babies. Some have only one child. We talked about relatives. We learned that relatives are part of families. Relatives can live close by or far away.


We read the book, "The Relatives Came", by Cynthia Rylant. And then colored a home with paper members of our family to go into the house.
