Kinder Rounded Shape Murals

     Kindergartners practiced using a pair of scissors to cut "rounded shapes."  Practicing cutting and turning at the same time, can be tricky for some little ones.  Each student used colored paper, to cut as many "rounded shapes" as they wanted.  Once enough pieces were cut, large roll paper was placed on a table with a general outline drawn on it.  This outline was to help students know where to place the shapes.  As a class, we had a discussion as to which colors would look best in which areas, and then students were free to glue as many dots as they could... working on using the proper amount of glue, "dot, dot, not a lot," and overlapping shapes to cover all of the space.

Learning Targets:
I can...
1. Use scissors to cut "rounded shapes"
2. Use "dot, dot, not a lot," when gluing
