And so it begins! I am student teaching at a wonderful K-8 school in an urban district. My cooperating teacher is great and I am absolutely loving it so far. This is one of the first projects we did with the Kindergarten students.
We thought collage would be an excellent way to introduce the element of shape to the kindergarten class. First students created shapes with scissors and then pasted them onto paper to turn them into something else. After we explored geometric shapes, the students then used their fingers to rip the paper and make organic shapes to collage with.

Supplies
* Colored construction paper
* Scissors
* Glue
* Crayons
It was fun to hold our shapes in the air and discuss as a class what they looked like. Children saw so many different things in the shapes, such as a crocodile, a dog, a house, and a worm. Once we figured out what our shapes could be, we pasted them down on paper and used crayons to create an environment for them to live in.
