A Butterfly or a Dress?

The foam shapes were used to model putting them onto a graph from 1-3.

This foam shape looked like a butterfly to me.

"It's not a butterfly. It's a dress," L. said. "Can we draw a person with arms and legs?"

That's what she did. A few of her friends did it too.

(The shape is actually a housefly.)

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap. It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another. The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
