Grade 1 Updates

IMPORTANT DATES:

1) WHITE ELEPHANT SALE is THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7th.  Items usually range from 25c to $5.00. This is a very popular day in our school that gives children the chance to buy gently used items for their families.

2) FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT CELEBRATION: MONDAY, DECEMBER 4th at 1pm.



LAST WEEK:

THINK IT THROUGH THURSDAY MATH PROBLEM: Students used strategies such as tracing the shapes and counting, adding numbers, adding numbers in steps by making a 10 and then adding on to solve the following open-ended problem:

I have four 2-D shapes. How many sides might there be all together?

There were many possible answers. Students were expected to be able to prove how they got their totals which depended upon which 2D shapes they selected from the bin (circles, ovals, squares, pentagons, rectangles, diamonds, hexagons, triangles).
