Let each student choose a shape and think of what it could turn into.

Begin working on a predictable chart with students. Explain to students that the class will make their own 'I See Shapes' book with each shape being used to form an object related to the chosen special event or place. What was the special event? Ask students to think of another special event or place such as a circus, a classroom, their neighborhood, a park, etc. Review with students what objects the shapes turned into. Reread the focus story, I See Shapes, encouraging students to join in on the repetitive phrases. Show students many shapes and have them sort to find only the circles. Teach students the 'Circle Shape Song' in which it is emphasized that 'a circle goes around and around without an end.' Let students practice making a circle by forming it in the air, on the floor, with their foot, etc. What other objects can students think of that are in the shape of a circle? Encourage students to find circles on their clothes and in the classroom. (Please Note: This portion of the lesson each day could be done now or during math, depending on your schedule.) They will look closely at one shape each day. Read aloud for enjoyment and to see what object the squares turn into! After reading, ask students to brainstorm what object an oval might have become in the story.Įxplain to students that over the next few days, they will be focusing on what makes each shape unique. Flip back through the pictures and talk about what the shapes turned into (hats, balloons, and presents) Letstudents make predictions about what the squares might turn into in relation to the other items. Introduce the phrase from the story and have students repeat, "Now I see _." Can they still see the original shapes? End the picture walk after students see the rectangles. Encourage the use of complete sentences, " I see _." Talk about how the shapes are used to make other objects. Take a picture walk, letting students name the shapes that they see.
