On Friday, April 11, the Woonsocket Kindergarten class hosted a special event, a 3D Shape Museum for the second graders.

To create their museum exhibits, each kindergartener went on a 3D shape hunt at home to find real-life objects to represent different shapes. They brought their 3D shapes to school and displayed them at the museum in the Kindergarten classroom.

To visit the museum, the second-grade class received tickets for entry. The second graders explored the exhibits that the kindergarteners had produced, took notes and drew examples of the 3D shapes they observed. The kindergarteners’ museum was timely, as the second-grade class was in the midst of studying geometry. The project allowed both the kindergarteners and second graders to discuss the subject, encourage connections, and make learning geometry more relatable.
