FROGS AND TURTLES

The children were asked to come over and sort frogs and turtles. These have a lot of attributes, giving the children many more options to work with. 

Do I choose frogs or turtles?  Do I look for a certain color or type of turtle or frog?

Then I ask them to count how many they have collected,  using the 10 frame tray to help them count one at a time.

 

A few of the children even made stories about the turtles and frogs.

Storytelling was popular today.  Friends were reading books together or making their own books.  We listened to all the stories at group time.  A wide range of topics were covered, from aliens to nanas.

Luca took a closer look at some of the items we brought back from the woods yesterday.  Grace and Evy started to investigate the seeds that some of us have brought in to share.

Our book today was 'Apples and oranges, going bananas with pairs" by Sara Pinto.  Each page asks how 2 things are alike.
