Today, we started a math unit on shape so I thought it would be fun for my students to make the shapes in shaving cream! I gave them two rules: you have to listen and stop when I tell you to do so and you can't keep rubbing the shaving cream because you'll rub it away. We first made shapes in the shaving cream, then I decided to do the alphabet. I wanted to show the students how to make the letters slowly so I use the Clay Alphabet Wigglies video on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUcSoUC-9pc Then, I could pause it and talk about the formation of the letters. The kids loved it and did a good job. I was thinking I could do this every Friday!
