Making shapes with our third grade buddies

Both our class and our buddies' class were learning about shapes at the same time. We were learning about faces, edges, and corners; and they were learning about points, angles, and sides. We decided to test our learning outside in a big group. The kids were with their buddy's and other 3rd grade/kindergarten pairs and had to listen to a shape being described, figure out what shape it was, then use teamwork to try to make it. It was great to see how everyone went about trying to get organized to make the shapes!
