Day 1: Pass out shape practice worksheet. Practice reading each shape word, tracing and drawing the shape. Next, look at "Hey Diddle Diddle". Discuss which words rhyme. Tell students they will be drawing the cow and the moon, and the dish and the spoon. At their seats, have them write their names on the back and flip the page over. Draw a shape cow, one step at a time, and have students mimic. Finish with the dish and spoon, and finally a horizon line.
Day 2: Review rhyming words in "Hey Diddle Diddle". Review "3 star coloring" / craftsmanship rubric. Have students trace all of their pencil lines with Sharpie and then color with crayons.
