Sorting:  
This week we have been sorting items. Students spent the week exploring the items at each center and them they gradually began to sort them. Color was then first attribute that they sorted by but then they began to see other details such as size, shape, number of holes and thickness.

           We sorted stickers. We looked for similar pictures and then we put them into piles. Eventually we sorted the butterflies, hearts and dinosaurs into the different kinds we saw.

  
At another center we sorted buttons. 

 Buttons have so many attributes sometimes it's hard to decide how to sort them.

 Attribute blocks can be sorted by color, shape, size and thickness.

 

 And we sorted the jewels. We could only sort by color but when we looked closely there were different shades of colors.
