My Project

In the elementary stage of learning, it is critical that children are able to identify, name and classify different objects into categories. Sorting is a skill that encompasses the ability to distinguish what is the same or what is different and group them accordingly. It is a life skill that it important when learning about science, math, and reading.

These magnetic animals, vegetables, fruits, objects and activities will be used to help students learn how to sort and practice the skill of sorting in various content areas.

Sorting and classifying is a skill children will need to master to help support them to be critical thinkers and learners in life.
