Lyrics:
We are shapes you can see us every where
I'm a square I'm a square,
you can see me everywhere
I have four sides
I'm a square I'm a square
I'm a circle I'm a circle,
I go round & round
I have only one side
I'm a circle round & round
I'm a triangle I'm a triangle
I'm pointy little shape
I have three sides
I'm a triangle I'm a triangle
we are shapes you can see us everywhere
I'm a rectangle I'm a rectangle
Like a really long square
I have a four sides
I’m a rectangle I’m a rectangle
The teacher will use only the shape that she will teach during the class.
Here the teacher will show to students different pictures about shapes and while she is showing them,
she will ask: is it in the video? The students will say: yes-no according to what they watched. The
teacher will stick them on the board.
The teacher will encourage to students to repeat the shapes.
Here the teacher will ask students about the colour: ‘what colour is the circle?’ ‘What colour is the
triangle?’…
