Books are amazing! They take us on adventures and teach us new things. Ask your grown-ups to help you find some fun books to read. You’ll love it!

Thanks for learning with us today! Keep exploring and having fun with shapes and colors!

  1. Can you think of your favorite food and tell us what shape it is? Do you know any other foods that have the same shape?
  2. What is your favorite color, and can you name some foods that are that color? Have you ever tried any of them?
  3. Have you ever noticed different shapes and colors in your meals at home or school? Which ones do you see the most?
  1. Shape Hunt at Home: Go on a shape hunt around your house! Look for items that match the shapes you learned about: circles, ovals, triangles, squares, and rectangles. Can you find a circular plate, an oval egg, a triangular slice of pizza, a square napkin, or a rectangular book? Draw or take pictures of the items you find and share them with your class!
  2. Colorful Snack Creation: With the help of a grown-up, create a colorful snack using foods that match the colors you learned about. Try to include red strawberries, orange carrots, yellow bananas, green broccoli, blue blueberries, and purple plums. Arrange them on a plate to make a rainbow snack. Talk about how each color makes you feel and which color is your favorite!
  3. Opposite Day Picnic: Plan a pretend picnic with your toys or family members. Choose foods that show opposites, like hot soup and cold ice cream, or big sandwiches and small grapes. Discuss why opposites are important and how they make things interesting. Can you think of other opposites in your daily life?

If you don’t have books, then what are you waiting for?
Books are safe, they have storybooks that are brought to life,
And they’re fun!
I like to read books about fantasy and love.
I tell other kids to get books because they’re full of stories and laughter.
I’ll read it on the go,
In the car, in a plane, even on the train.
I’ve never been on a train.
Don’t wait around, ask your grown-ups to download books now.
You’ll be glad you did!
