Octagon and mitten matching

 

Today we learned that an octagon has 8 sides. 

The creative arts activity was drawing straight lines from each corner to make triangles. 

Amelia is working hard in making sure her lines are Straight. 

 

The next step was to color the triangles . 

We talked about things that may be octagons. We counted the sides of a stop sign and it had eight sides. 

 

The Math game for the funshine curriculum is to March the mittens. Lydia and Amelia were doing a great job working together to match a mitten on the bottom and the top.

Have a super weekend! 

Mitten madness

I hope everybody had a great holiday season! We enjoyed our winter break,  but we were happy to be back and see everybody. 

Our first January theme is Mitten Madness. We are doing all things mittens and learning about the letter M.

Every Monday Funshine express curriculum has an activity for the letter of the week. 

This week it was lacing a mitten and gluing it on the letter M.

 

The 2 fact card this week is Scarf and Mitten. We learn the Spanish word on the other side. I like how the kids are learning the word matches with the picture .

 

For creative arts we made "a one of a kind" Mitten shape picture. We practiced cutting and stamping . 

These are truly  one of a kind🙂.

 

Check back tommorrow (hopefully,we have a snow day today) to see what else we do with mittens and cold weather.
