Class experience
In this one-time class we will learn shape vocabulary about 10 basic shapes, engage in shape themed letter and number activities, read stories like "Perfect Square" Michael Hall and "Mouse Shapes" by Ellen Stoll Walsh, practice making pictures with basic shapes and find shapes we see around us! Little learners can build great listening, observation and creative thinking skills during storytime, asking questions and using their imagination. In fact, did you know that reading aloud to kids...
Students will have lots of fun listening to stories and asking and answering questions throughout the readings, practice taking turns talking, listening and sharing observations about shapes . We will learn shape names and recognize shapes that we see around us everyday, whether in our house or outside in our neighborhoods. In class, we will use either cut out shapes or shapes we draw to make different images like a rocket, a house, an ice cream cone, etc. with the included printable for enrolled learners.* * It's not mandatory that your learner participate in the activity. If they prefer to observe and work on the count and graph after class, that's OK too! **In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones. This also helps learners practice their social skills such as active listening and taking turns. In order for this to work, students need to be in a quiet setting away from background noises (loud conversations, telephone calls, t.v, etc.). **
1 file available upon enrollmentBring paper, crayons or markers to class. The included printable can be printed multiple times so there are multiple shapes to use for building pictures, or you can use the shape sheet as a reference and learners can draw the shapes as we try making different pictures.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Because of the age of the class I recommend a grown up be within "ear-shot" to help with any technical hiccups (mic and video) that might come up. Please print out the shape sheets before class. If you will be making pictures with cut out shapes please cut out at least 2 copies of each shape. Shapes can be drawn instead of cut out and glued too, if your learner prefers. * It's not mandatory that your learner participate in the activity. If they prefer to observe and work on the Make a Plate after class, that's OK too! **In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones.

Hello Outschool Families! My name is Liz Stone, better known as Ms. Liz, to my 3, 4 and 5 year old friends. Did you know that reading aloud to kids has clear cognitive benefits? For example, brain scans show that hearing stories strengthens the...
