Shapes in the Garden

This was a great lesson. Identifying shapes is a standard found through-out the grade levels. As we know students have different learning styles and need many opportunities to solidify their learning of new material. This lesson was easy to prepare. I just cut up pieces of paper into circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. Then I had the students go into the garden looking for the shape they held. Once they found a shape they would hold the paper up to show they found the shape. The students had a great time and really demonstrated their knowledge of shapes.
