Nathan and Micah were were collaborating on sorting fruits and then extended their activity to sort clothespins as well (getting some nice fine motor work accomplished!) Sorting is all about observing, comparing and contrasting objects, which helps children understand that objects can be grouped in different ways or regrouped. Children will apply these skills to future math learning when learning about numbers.

Try having children sort at home - silverware, putting groceries away (frozen vs. fresh food), laundry sorting by colors or matching socks, or sorting toys by color are all fun.
Great idea to include the ideas to try at home. So simple and easy to try!
ReplyDeleteI just love how nicely the boys play together. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThose materials look so enticing. I kind of want to sort them!!! (Okay, I really want to sort them.) :)
