Usually when you think on shapes you use to consider more a math (geometry) area which is not a mistake but what I like in Montessori is that we look at shapes as a sensorial activity.
Thats why I brought for the class the geometry shapes from the Geometry Cabinet, material that they are familiar with in their classroom, and that is why they were able to match the information with the new vocabulary in Spanish. This material was use to identify and name but also later to work with games as: What is missing ? and The secret bag.
Then moving more into the abstract a matching game was use, with the addition of a coupe of shapes that even they are not geometric they are part of their daily vocabulary.
This is the vocabulary that we are learning:
Circulo Cuadrado Triangulo Ovalo Rectángulo Rombo
Estrella Corazón Luna
As usual we use songs to practice
