1. Today I will introduce the basic Geometric shapes with a Powerpoint and I will
teach the students a song with a visual aid, that they will sing along with.
Upon completion of the song the student will receive a gold star for
participation

2. Learning Shapes
Kindergarten
Objective: This class of kindergarten students will know
and be able to recognize the five shapes consisting of
a rectangle, square, circle, triangle and octagon as well
as where they are found in their daily lives through a
PowerPoint designed by the teacher. This knowledge
will be mastered at the end of the week through a
recognition test with 100 percent accuracy.
- each day a new shape will be introduced, I will show
how to draw it (the students will mimic the drawing on
their own paper), we will then have a discussion about
where the students have seen this shape and I will
present some images of this shape in their everyday
lives.
-technology: computer and smart board if available

Facebook
