Math Learning Plan: Sorting

Read or listen to a story together called, “The Animals Would Not Sleep” by Sara Levine. Then, have the child gather their own stuffed animals and toys. Have the child compare the differences in the toys to sort them into categories. Count the number of toys in each category, and then try to sort the toys in a different way.

Math Learning Plan: Who Has More?

Read or listen to a story together called, “Lia & Luis” by Ana Crespo. Then, have the child gather small objects and big objects in bags or bowls the same size. Have the child compare the objects’ quantity, weight, and height.

Teaching Mama

Teaching Mama is an education blog that shares hands-on learning activities for toddlers and preschoolers. I like that the Preschool tab is organized by learning topics. I struggle to find resources with Gross Motor Skills activities that engage other learning standards.

Breakfast Invitations

Days with Grey offers play-based learning resources including a course, guides, and activity ideas for kids. My favorite resource is her Breakfast Invitation that usually involves a large sheet of paper and an independent creative project for children to do in the morning.
