Kindergarten Math (Shapes)

     My kindergartners and I have been discussing shapes and their attributes this week.  Today we sponge painted shapes to make a picture.  The kids loved this activity.  They were telling each other what shape they were using while making their different pictures.  They would discuss topics such as how many side a shape has, how many corners, what color paint they were using, and what shapes made their picture.  (A square and a triangle make a house).  The students really benefited from this activity and they did an excellent job. Here are some examples of their work.
