Getting Ready for Kindergarten Days A-H
8 days Sorting and Classifying
Days 1 – 12
In order for kindergarten students to have access to the mathematics concepts that begin on Day 1, 8 days of “Getting Ready for Kindergarten” concepts have been built into the pacing schedule. These days are labeled A – H. During these 8 days, teachers are referred to the Harcourt Kindergarten Teacher’s Edition for lesson planning. These 8 days are optional. If students have a mastery of these concepts, teachers begin Day 1 of the module.

Independent Learning Stations
Sorting Everyday Stuff (Harcourt TE 13B) Objective: To sort everyday objects into groups and then re-sort them into subgroups. Materials: A variety of different items to sort. Attribute Links, Pattern Blocks, Color Tiles, Connecting Cubes, Counting Bears, Crayons, Markers, Scrap Paper, Rocks, Keys, Leaves, Buttons, Shells, Coins, Nuts, Bolts, Washers, Marbles • Put sets of objects into containers or baggies in groups of about 20 • Have students decide on a way to sort the objects into groups • Students should be able to describe the attributes of the groups • Have students sort the same objects another way Other Suggestions (If materials are available): Magnet Mania (Harcourt TE 1E) Block Center (Harcourt TE 1E) Sorting for Art (Harcourt TE 7B) Coin Colors (Harcourt TE 13B) Center Sort and Cleanup (Harcourt TE 15B) Float or Not Float (Harcourt TE 17B) To create a working climate, you may want to consider these following procedures: • Let students know your expectations for working with the materials • Let the students choose where to work • Allow the students to choose to work alone or with a partner • Expect the students to be accountable for working hard • Allow the students to move from place to place whenever they are ready to work with
something else Note: When learning stations are introduced, they remain in place for an extended period of time and are disbanded gradually, one at a time, as new centers are introduced. Students benefit from repeated exposure to the same task. It is not necessary for all students to experience all stations-particularly when the concepts being explored are the same at all stations. When a student visits a station multiple times, he/she does not get lost with the directions and is able to concentrate on the concept.

LAUNCH
Shoe Sort Students sit in a circle. Students take off one shoe. Teacher asks for ideas for ways to sort shoes into two groups (possibilities: soft shoes/hard shoes; tie shoes/not tie shoes; slip on, buckle, or Velcro; etc.) Teacher chooses one idea and writes a label for each of the two groups. Teacher places label in two spots inside the circle. Teacher then calls groups of students to take their shoes to one sorting spot or the other (i.e., brown eyed students place shoes; students wearing short sleeves place shoes; etc.). When each student has one shoe in the center of the circle, the teacher asks, “What do you notice about our sorts?” Take all observations. Restate the sorting rule. “These shoes were alike because………….” “These shoes belonged in this group because……………”
