Shapes

This month the students have been learning to identify shapes and combine simple shapes to create bigger shapes.  As an introduction to my lesson, I showed the children a Stop Motion Video to demonstrate using small shapes (pattern blocks) to create bigger shapes.  Check out the video titled "All Things Pointed" on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSkZcYDx8E4.  The children worked with hexagons, diamonds, rhombus's, squares, triangles, and trapezoids to make their abstract creations.  Check out some of the creations your children came up with!
