What do we do in math?

All of our math lessons begin with a “hands on” activity.

Today we learned how to use Venn diagrams (2 overlapping circles) to organize information. We sorted shoes based on whether they were black, had velcro, both or none. Sorting based on attributes is an important first step in mathematical understanding.

Skating!

We had a wonderful time skating on Wednesday. I was so proud to see everyone’s determination and enthusiasm. Thank you to all of the parent helpers who came to tie skates-much appreciated!
