Standard: K.G.3 Model shapes in the world by composing shapes from objects.

Objective: Students will be able to make basic shapes using lines. 

Through this interactive bulletin board students will be able to create shapes as a hands-on approacb to understanding basic geometry. On the bulletin board is a box of pipe cleaners and a set of instructions as to how to form the basic shapes. The shape making is an application of knowledge that the students have learned in the class. The reading of, The Greedy Triangle, helps students see shapes in action as they can be changed and transformed into different shapes. This interactive bulletin board lesson would be completed after a read aloud of the book.
