Sorting with Shapes Freebies

We are  working on shapes this week, and I am trying to infuse the lessons
with fun and excitement as much as I can.
I shared it on my new instagram account, if you have an instagram account and missed the pictures, follow me at: http://instagram.com/firstgradeblueskies
Or click the camera on the right side of my blog =)

First we started by painting circles with marshmallows, and idea I saw on Julie Lee's blog



My kids LOVED it! 
It was Simple and Fun...my two favorite things!

We also made the Shape Monsters Glyphs created by Julie Lee and Jamie Mayas.  
You can find the info on them here!
They are too cute!  
Be sure to follow Mrs Mayas and Mrs Lee! They are incredible K teachers!


If you'd like a copy of what I did, you can find them here!



I also created one more thing, last minute...my kids wrote the letter from the alphabet that have a circle in them.  Get the freebie here!
If you snag the freebies, leave a comment below and let me know!


And, in other news I am participating in an incredible fundraiser to help teachers in West Texas after Wednesday's tragedy.
Check it out over at Kreative in Kinder
