Shape of the Week Focus Wall Set for PowerPoint

This is a PowerPoint version of our Shape of the Week Focus Wall. The purpose is to give children daily practice in the identification of shapes and their properties. Our original product, the Shape of the Week Focus Wall, is printable and sized to fit on a pocket chart. However, this version is designed to be used digitally, (either in person or online). So, although you could print it, each slide is probably too large for most pocket charts.

The idea of the Shape of the Week is that you would review the slides daily with your students, asking them to tell you the names of the shapes, how many sides/corners it has, etc. After that, we review the real life photo examples of each shape, and then sing or chant the songs that are written out. (NOTE: Audio is NOT included.)

There is also a “Shape Character” poem to chant with the kids in also. (Most of the songs are written to traditional tunes, and there is a note on each screen telling you the name of the tune also.) Heidi’s kids always jump the number of sides each shape has, too! For example, for the triangle, the Shape Character poem is, “Monster, monster, triangle cat: How many sides do you have on that?” Then the kids and the teacher all jump three times! Please note: The audio files for the shape songs are NOT included. If you want this product in a Google Slides format with audio, they are available on Heidi's Teachers Pay Teachers store here.

This PowerPoint product has been redesigned to be more eye catching and “prettier” than our print version, too! However, the basic content is the same.

You may or may not wish to display every single slide for each shape, depending on your instructional goals. It should be very easy to “hide” certain slides in the file. For example, I do not use the “Flat or Solid” slides with my Transitional Kindergartners, but you may wish to do so.

Please note that this product is NOT EDITABLE beyond the ability to skip the slides you do not wish to display.

Again, this download is the PowerPoint version of this product. If you want this product in the Google Slides format with audio, they are available on Heidi's Teachers Pay Teachers store here.
