The first thing we did was trace the shapes on some worksheet papers. For the being the first time he traced something I was very impressed with how well he did.
We then made a Stop-n-Go light. I first made a circle on the piece of paper and then Sawyer had to cut the circle out by following the line. The scissors were new and it was a bit difficult for Sawyer to open them so he had to use two hands. I then held the piece of paper for him and very minimally guided the paper that way.
We then worked with Play-Doh and he was to make the each shape with the play-doh.
Dominos were a lot of fun especially since each piece is a rectangle with lots of circles on it!!! Sawyer was very proud that he made a big rectangle with a bunch of little ones. He did this all on his own before I even realized what he was doing.
We then made a really long line of dominos by matching the colors of circles on each end.
Our final game was Choo-Choo Shapes. We took turns drawing cards and matching our card with the train cards on the playing mat.
We ended our fun day by making homemade pizzas. One was in the shape of a circle and the other in the shape of a rectangle! He is now doing a good job with recognizing circles and rectangles. Before today he knew what a rectangle was but not a circle. Now if you put to a circle and ask him which shape it is he will say "round and round" while taking his pointer finger and move it around to make a circle.
GO SAWYER!!!!! Such a smart boy!
