How Can I Sort Myself?

creating my own rules for sorting

a helping hand

a simple yes no survey to take attendance

Is my name shorter, longer, or the same size?

working together with  blocks

making up a rule for sorting


why are these things all together?
This week we looked at sorting by at least one atttribute again, but we sorted ourselves. The children were able to come up with a "rule" for sorting, and group their peers according to their rule, then let their peers guess. There were some very original thinkers for this game! We wrote the number THREE this week in practice and began to put together our writing  numbers books, and read counting books to get some ideas about pages for our own number and counting books next week. A favorite game involved comparing our own name towers to others, and writing the names according to "same", "shorter" and "longer".

Until Next Time,
Michele
