    This lesson plan introduces kindergarten students to 2D and 3D shapes. It includes a read aloud of "The Greedy Triangle" to engage students. Students then go on a "Shape Hunt" around the classroom to find and identify different shapes. They complete a worksheet labeling shapes they found. Formative assessments include questioning students about the shapes they identified and collecting their worksheets. The lesson aims to help students understand that shapes are all around us and can describe their attributes.

    The lesson plan was about teaching kindergarten students to identify different 2D and 3D shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, etc. in their everyday environment through a 'Shape Hunt' activity in the classroom.

    The students were learning about basic 2D shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles, and circles.

    The teacher had the students do a 'Shape Hunt' activity where they went around the classroom to find different shapes and charted what they found on a Shape Hunt chart.

    Instructional Strategies: Thinking Skills/Student Reflection Skills:

    Think-pair-share, direct instruction, graphic Classify and categorize, compare and contrast,
    organizers, modeling, read-aloud make connections

    Introduction/hook: Pre-assessment:

     Connect to previous knowledge: review  KWL chart (Know Wonder Learn): Know
    and Wonder completed at beginning of
    the names of the geometric shapes that
    unit to assess previous knowledge of
    they are learning shapes/geometry
    Lessons Plans Week of: 3/5/18-3/9/18
    Instruction (“I do” – teacher models):
     Read aloud: The Greedy Triangle. Read in entirety, pausing only to allow students to
    predict upcoming events
     Prediction to: focus attention on reasoning, patterns, and problem solving while
    incorporating what they already know about geometric shapes with the ideas presented in
    the book

    Guided Practice (“We do”):


     Discuss the idea that shapes are not just in books but are all around us. Have students point
    out shapes seen in objects from the book (i.e. triangle in the sail of a boat or slice of pie).
     Pose question: “Who has been on a scavenger hunt before?”
     Explain activity for the day: “Shape Hunt” in classroom to find shapes in their everyday
    surroundings
     Explain that shapes can be 2-D and 3-D- clarify these terms with examples
     Model: look around classroom to find a shape
    o Chart found shape in appropriate category on Shape Hunt chart w/ student
    prompting (triangle, square, rectangle, or circle).
    o Draw picture of shape with color and details
    o Ask: “how do we know this is a ____? What are this shape’s features?”

    Independent Practice (“You do”):


     Present students with worksheet
    o Explain process of completing worksheet
    o Explain vocabulary
     Clarify expectations:
    o Independent worktime
    o Calm, safe bodies
    o Pencils and crayons only
    o At least 2 objects drawn per shape
    o Details in drawings, and appropriate size
     Allow 15 minutes for students to go on Shape Hunt

    Assessments:
     Formative:
    o Pose questions during closure:
     How many shapes did you find?
     What types of shapes did you find?
     How can you describe the shapes that you found?
     What shapes were the hardest to find? Easiest? Why?
    o Collection of completed worksheets
    o Reflection on learning during lesson closure (recorded in teacher notes)

    Closing:
     Pull students together and ask for volunteers to share findings to be charted on original
    Shape Hunt chart paper
    Lessons Plans Week of: 3/5/18-3/9/18
     Ask guiding questions to check for understanding (see assessment section for questions)
     Reflect on learning and new knowledge
    o Ask: Share something new they learned and/or enjoyed
     Add to KWL chart

    Extensions: Differentiation Considerations:


     Send home copies of Shape Hunt  Kinesthetic movement for active
    worksheet and have students go on a learners
    shape hunt at home.  Visual supports (images, words)
     Including of visual timer for students
    who struggle with transitions and to help
    staying on-task
     Have students visit the Sammy’s Shapes
    website where they can identify specific
    shapes appropriate for their grade level
    and locate and describe the shapes.
    o Complete during free-choice
    computer time
