We used various items to sort on our sorting mats. We told our sorting rule. “I sorted by colour.” “I sorted by shape.” “I sorted by size.” What items can you sort at home? (forks and spoons, shoes and boots, plates and cups).
We went on a nature walk in the school yard and collected sticks, weeds, pinecones, leaves and rocks. We sorted them into groups and then placed them at our science centre. The children used magnifying glasses to look more closely and recorded what we saw.
