Sorting real life object by attributes of color, size and shape is one of the learning outcomes for K2. The children have been playing with the waffle blocks for about 4-5 days now. Today when Sean came in, he made a connection between the colors of the carpet and the colors of the waffle blocks.
He decided he was going to sort them, and place them on the matching color carpet square (totally self-initiated).
Sean's inquiry lead to him facilitating his own mini lesson on sorting with his friends. Together they continued to sort all of the blocks together! Application of knowledge as well as sharing of knowledge! Thank you Sean!!
