Week 1
Organizing Things into Categories
Learners discover that sorting things into categories is a skill they already use every day. This foundational thinking skill is something every other lesson in the curriculum builds on.

  • A category includes two or more items that share a similarity or purpose; categories can be subdivided or combined.
  • There is no single right way to organize. The system chosen depends on the purpose at hand.
  • Organizing thoughts in our minds (mentally grouping information into categories) aids learning, recall, and understanding.

Supplies:
  • There is an optional monster sorting worksheet (Categorizing Monsters) but you can also just pause and discuss it together 
  • You will need either the Writing Sheet for Memory Game or just paper and a writing instrument. There is nothing wrong with writing for your learner on this exercise.

At Home Practice
  • Practice sorting an assortment of miscellaneous items from junk drawers and closets
