Learning shapes not only helps children identify and organize visual information, it helps them learn skills in other curriculum areas including reading, math, and science.

Mrs. Howell's 2nd grade students at Claremont are learning about erosion during their land and water forms unit! Students make hypotheses and investigate the causes of canyons. In the activity Cornmeal Canyons, students create a model landform using cornmeal. Then they drip water over this “land” to observe how water can change its shape and understand how, over long periods of time, canyons can be formed through a similar process. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
