Shape Week
March 27, 2026
Shapes, shapes are all around us! This week, we focused on all things shapes! We learned about circles, squares, ovals, rectangles, diamonds, triangles, hearts, hexagons, octagons, and trapezoids. We also discussed the composition of these shapes, how to describe them, and how to draw them – what shapes have 4 sides? What shapes have curvy lines? How many corners does a triangle have? We were noticing shapes all around our room. What shapes are on the ceiling? (squares) What shape is the Science table? (hexagon) What shapes were the foods in their lunch? This week brought out a lot of discussion!
One of our Star activities this week was completing a Shape Book. Each child had to trace the shape word and then identify that shape on each page. A tricky task but TK was up for the challenge! Our other Star activity was making a Shape pizza! Each child chose a different number of cut-out shapes to add to their “pizza.” Then, they glued the shapes on and counted how many of each shape they had. They looked delicious!
Did your child bring home a Shape Monster? Each child traced a shape, cut it out, and then decorated it with googly eyes, teeth, arms, and legs to make a silly shape monster! Some other fun activities in the room included: building with shape Magna tiles, exploring sticky shape slime, and a shape Hedbandz guessing game! We also played Shape Bingo during group time which was a big hit! The TK children love when they get their 4 in a row and yell out “Bingo!”
Questions to ask your child:
- What is your child’s favorite shape?
- Can your child tell you what songs we sang in music class?
- Can your child tell you about our group activity where they worked in teams to use yarn to make shapes? (This was really tricky!)
Next week, we are back to regular programming as we twirl and twist our way to the letter T!
Have a great weekend,
Lynn, Mandee, and Emily
