Sorting, Patterns and Graphing....OH MY!

Wow, where is time going? Its almost the middle of September. We have been super busy learning many concepts. We have been working hard on learning to sort and make patterns. During a recent lesson we played a game with sorting. I sorted the children into groups and they had to guess my sorting rule. We sorted by hair color, eye color, shoes/flipflops, boys/girls and tall friends and shorter friends.

We have also been taking the sorting information and creating graphs. We have graphed our hair color, eye colors and the numbers of boys and girls in our classroom. We have been trying to use fancy words like DATA and ANALYZE. I know those are big words for small minds....but you would be surprised at what they can soak up!

Try some of these sorting activities at home. You could sort laundry, pets, toys, shoes....you name it!


***** Thank you so much- for helping your child with their reading treasure boxes. The boxes are on display until the end of this week.....They were just too good not to leave out a little longer- Awesome job ********
