Sorting by Size

We are having fun sorting pumpkins, gourds, leaves 
and pinecones by size at our sensory table.

 

 

 

Working collaboratively to sort puzzle pieces by size (small, medium, big)

 

We worked together to create Lego towers of different sizes.  We sorted them by size (small, medium, big).



Our youngest learners were excited to practice sorting

by size on the SmartBoard

 



 

During Math Circle, students worked together to sort different

classroom objects from smallest to biggest

 



Fall Fun!!!

We made fall trees with our hands

Painting with pumpkin scented paint

We made apple cinnamon scented play dough last week and the students also wanted to make yellow play dough. After observing the apples they brought in, they decided they wanted to try mixing the red and yellow play dough to make still life 3D sculptures of different varieties of apples.

Sorting by Colour

We have many students in our class who love to build with Lego, so we created a Lego Drop to encourage them to practice sorting by colour.

During our Math circle, students practiced sorting different manipulatives from our Math Centre.

Today we had fun working in groups to build different structures by sorting Lego according to colour. 

"Our group built a castle car that can fly, talk and walk. It can also ride on the ceiling."

"Our group built a robot named Max. When there is an emergency, he throws his head back. He can also talk."

"Our group built a robot named Max. He is not related to the other robot named Max. He talks like beep, beep."

Working together at the light table to use tweezers to sort different coloured buttons. 

Stringing beads is a great way to help build fine-motor coordination. It's also a fun way to practice sorting by colour.
