hands-on experience

Weston and Elsa are using the geometric solids - a cylinder, triangular prism, cone, cube, rectangular prism, triangular-based pyramid, square-based pyramid, sphere, ellipsoid and ovoid.  Initially the children are encouraged to get familiar with the shapes and try to identify these shapes in everyday life.  I later give the language for 3 shapes at a time.  Weston is pointing to the sphere.
