On the first day of this project, we reviewed geometric shapes and the first graders created 3 different geometric shapes on primary colored construction paper (red, yellow, and blue). To create their shapes, they folded a 6 x 9 piece of construction paper in half, drew their shape, and cut it out with the paper still folded. This created 2 matching shapes. On the second day, we focused on organic shapes and they were responsible for creating 3 different organic shapes out of secondary colored construction paper (green, orange, and purple). We stored our shapes in plastic baggies to keep them organized. On the third day we got to put all of the shapes together in a mobile. We watched this silly video to learn the ROYGBIV order and I demonstrated how to glue their shapes on a string. We ended with a loop and bead to create some weight at the bottom of our mobile.
Thank you to my sister Amy Clay for the lesson! We are pros at organic and geometric shapes now:)
