Read this chant with someone at home. Then talk about the math words together.
Who did you read it with? What words did you talk about?

Shapes Here, Shapes There

By Heather Craggs
Shapes here, shapes there,
Shapes, shapes everywhere!
Geometric shapes sliding
Symmetrical shapes copying
Composite shapes growing
And congruent shapes flipping
Shapes on the floor,
Shapes in the house,
Shapes in the sky,
And shapes all around,
Shapes here, shapes there,
Shapes, shapes everywhere!
SHAPES! SHAPES! SHAPES!
