Pre-Kindergarten Shape Unit

In conjunction with our shape unit during the month of December we utilized the Doodle Buddy iPad application to reinforce the shapes we were learning and work on our pre-writing skills.  Each day at our circle we would review the shape we had learned at our morning meeting and each child would have the opportunity to try to draw it on the iPad.  It was a wonderful activity that the children all really enjoyed and that worked on both their emerging mathematical skills and fine motor skills.  Although the students in my class have a wide range of cognitive and fine motor abilities, by using the Doodle Buddy application each child regardless of their abilities could see the tangible result of their efforts.
