Circle Cutting

I borrowed this idea from another art teacher's blog: http://deepspacesparkle.blogspot.com/. The kindergarteners first talked big, medium, and small. We talked about things in the room that were big, medium, and small, which really helped them to group things in three's sort into: big, medium, and small.

They began by tracing the top of a yogurt container six times on construction paper, they then cut out the circles and glued them on their blue paper. The next step was to turn the yogurt container around and trace six more medium circles, then they cut them out and glued them on top of the large circle. The final step was for the kindergarteners to draw six more small circles, without tracing, and then cut them out and glue them on top of the big and medium circles.
