Math and Science Activities For September

Colors and Shapes

In the month of September my main focus will be colors and shapes. I will be teaching counting 1-10 and number recognition through color and shape activities. These activities are a fun way for my students to learn independently and to reach goals I have made for them. 

During center time I will have the math and science center open and set up with color and shape activities. 

Here are some examples of the activities and the standards that they hit....
