attributes

answering a question with a clothespin
This week we looked at sorting by attributes...ourselves, buttons, and attribute blocks. The children answered "yes" "no" questions about themselves, and put their name to a question that matched.  We drew self portraits, and sorted by them;  what's one thing about my picture that's the same as someone else's? what's one thing that's different? By learning about attributes, we are looking more closely at our environment and strengthening our math thinking and reasoning skills, as well as learning how to talk about what we notice.
We continued to have time to explore freely materials that we will be using later in a more formal manner.
