The Shape of Things

Last Friday at our Martin Luther King assembly, Mr. Phelan read the book All are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold.  Our 5th grade book buddies were inspired by this and presented us with a beautiful banner based on the book.  5th grade worked hard to draw themselves with their book buddy.  The banner is on display in the hall outside of our classroom.

Today I read the book The Shape of Things and we began creating our own Shape of Things book following the pattern of the text.  Some Kindergarten ideas:

A circle is just a circle until you add arms, legs and a body and it becomes a human.

A circle is just a circle until you add some lines and seats and it becomes a ferris wheel.

A rectangle is just a rectangle until you add gas, windows, wheels and doors and it becomes a school bus.

A circle is just a circle until you add a stick and it becomes a lollipop.

A rectangle is just a rectangle until you add a triangle, rockets boosters and a window and it becomes a rocket ship.  

Be on the lookout for our completed illustrations!
