During morning meeting today, we noticed there were lots of similarities between some of the pajamas. We found many different ways to sort the class. Today's impromptu sorting (based on noticings of the students) was a great example of ECE's Standard 13: Classification (Groups objects by one characteristic; then regroups them using a different characteristic and indicates the reason).
What things can you sort at home? What do you already sort that your child can help with? (Laundry, silverware, toys, etc). Take a moment next time your child is sorting to tell them that's what they're doing- you can even make it a game by changing the rules. (All the socks together- Now all the blue clothes together- Now all of your clothes together!)
