1st Grade- Geometric Shape Robots!

1st grade began learning about geometric shapes. On the first day of this lesson, we learned about and practiced drawing geometric shapes on a dry erase board and then I had them do a practice drawing of a robot on a sheet of paper using just geometric shapes. They then discussed as a group what robots looked like and what their purpose was. The next class we made our backgrounds. I gave each student a black sheet of paper and a white colored pencil. We talked about cities and what geometric shapes are used to make them. I drew an example on the board. Then they drew their own cities to be used as the background for their robot. They looked awesome!

The next two classes were spent drawing and cutting their geometric shapes out of construction paper and gluing them on their background. They had to reference their practice drawing to get the correct shapes. They turned out great!
