Description
Teach about the attributes and real life objects of 7 basic 2D shapes!
As the children learn the characteristics of seven basic shapes, they use their imagination to transform the shapes into objects. There are two pages for each shape, one for creating the shape person and one for drawing a real-life object of that shape. Read Shapes Shapes Shapes by Tana Hoban to your children and they will begin to see shapes all around themselves!
Shapes included are:
☆ circle
☆ triangle
☆ square
☆ rectangle
☆ oval
☆ diamond (or rhombus)
☆ hexagon.
Your students can create their own copy of this book!
Your students can create their own copy of this book! Included are all the reproducible blackline masters, full directions, and a color photo page showing the completed pages of the book.
The children create a page a day, using collage and drawing techniques. The students follow directions to create the illustration out of construction paper. Included are the complete cutting directions for making circles and ovals from squares and rectangles by trimming off the corners. All you do is cut squares and rectangles on your paper cutter for the pages. The rest is up to the children! Very little teacher time for prepping and no patterns or tracers to create!
There is at least one word on each page for the students to write. We sound the word out together as a class and then the children can copy it from the board or try sounding it out themselves.
When we are finished with the book, we use it at our reading station in place of the published books from our reading program before sending the books home. The teacher's copy can be laminated and placed in the class library for the children to read over and over during the year. The children love using their own books and take great pride in them!
