This past week we had a lot of fun with shapes. Inside the classroom the children used pattern blocks to make different pictures and recorded how many of each shape they used.
We also went beyond our classroom to see what kind of shapes we could find all around Orchard school. It was pretty cool to stop and think that the whole world is made of shapes. Below you can see us finding a triangle, square, and circle.
There is learning to be done and fun to be had all around Orchard! One of our favorite spaces is the courtyard. On Friday we took sometime to pick and eat authentic "Orchard School Apples". We also put our number writing skills to use making hopscotch games and designed and built fairy houses with natural materials.
Back in the classroom we took a few minutes to settle in with some books...the ones we've made and have been saving in our keep boxes!
