I love books that inspire preschoolers to use their imaginations, creativity, and whatever basics "tools" are at their disposal (paper, blocks, etc.) to expand upon the ideas introduced therein. Ellen Stoll Walsh's "Mouse Shapes" (2007), the third book in her simple but clever little series, is a wonderful example of this. Illustrated with paper shapes similar to the manipulatives used in early childhood classrooms everywhere, the story of Fred, Viola, and Martin mouse and how they elude a cat by hiding in a pile of these shapes is almost secondary to the fun they have afterwards creating pictures of their own out of them. Kids will be inspired to try their hand at emulating this amusing artistic game, learning about early geometry in the process. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #mouseshapes #ellenstollwalsh #preschoolmath #earlymath #earlymathskills #mathskills #shapes #learningshapes #learningmath #lessonplans #teachersfollowteachers #prekmath #lessonplans #prekteacher #kindergartenmath #manipulatives #bookishplay #prekinder #homeschoolpreschool #mathmanipulatives https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AlzfKnR1O/?igshid=1wh63yxzx1v2f

RT @MadisonWingate2: Assessment does not have to be synonymous with "scary", "boring", or "intimidating". Especially in early childhood!!! #oklaed #prekmath #DAP #teachingideas #teachersfollowteachers #teachershelpingteachers https://t.co/sHSLy72Bh4
