Community Events and Coin Sorting

The Edmond Library is having another Read with Dogs event! You and your child can go to the library on October 1st from 6:30-7:30 and read with dogs :)

This week we were planning to do a lesson on Tuesday about sorting coins, but we had to push it back! We did it today and, coincidentally, it tied in with our reading lesson very well!

In reading, we practiced categorizing things and sorting. We sorted objects and people into groups based on places we read about in Miss Bindergarten Takes a Field Trip. We sorted them into a bakery group, a post office group, a fire station group, and a library group.

When we did our coins activity, we focused on "attributes" of the coins. We looked at color, size, pictures on the heads and tails sides, and the edges (bumpy/rough or smooth). Here are some pictures of the kids sorting their coins. Thank you for sending in coins and egg cartons! Because some of the coins came in while I was gone, I was unsure who to return them to! I apologize and promise to use leftover coins for our "general snack fund." If you brought some in and would like them returned, please shoot me an email! I let each child count out at take home 5 coins. 

And here are a few more pictures from centers today. I am just so impressed with how hard they've been working!
