1st Grade- Patterns, Shapes, and Sizes

This first grade project covered a lot of curriculum. The first day we talked about patterns and borders. Students used rulers to create a border and then drew a pattern in the border with construction paper crayons.

The second class, we talked about geometric shapes (shapes with names and rules) and made a list on the board. We also discussed organic shapes to understand that there are other types of shapes. We then talked about different sizes, particularly small, medium, and large. Each student received 3 pieces of paper (which were the primary colors). On each paper they had to draw three geometric shapes, one small, one medium, and one large. They then had to cut them out and glue them on their black paper. Some even make figures out of their shapes.
