Today the Grade Ones began their Jump Math unit - Sorting and Attributes. In this unit, students will learn about attributes and apply their learning to data management, geometry, patterns, and measurement. They will sort objects into groups based on the objects’ attributes and learn how sorting can help them be organized in real-life situations. Students will apply attributes to geometry by recognizing that circles are curved the same everywhere and that circles can have different colours, sizes, and designs. They will also apply sorting skills to geometry when they sort circles by colour. Students will apply attributes to patterns by asking what is the same and what is different, and use attributes in measurement by comparing sizes.

We have talked about Good Fit Books and the Carpet Bell, so today we were prepared to launch into Daily 5 Stamina building.  The goal is 10 minutes of Daily 5 Read to Self, today we successfully achieved 5 minutes and 11 seconds.  A note will be coming home on Monday explaining Daily 5.  It is also available HERE.
