The neat thing is, your child or student probably practices this skill naturally during play - separating fruits and veggies while pretend cooking, lining up the red blocks, creating zoo habitats for different animals, etc. While intrinsic in creative play, teacher-directed encounters with sorting are also important.

By pasting a different animal habitat heading at the top of each folder section and adding Velcro dots to both the pages and animal cards, students can be encouraged to sort the animal cards by habitat (i.e. the cow belongs on the farm, the octopus belongs in the ocean, etc.). This design is super practical, easy-to-store, and provides students with unlimited individual sorting practice. However, Jolanthe's adorable printables can have several other applications as well! Consider the following activities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a fun twist to the sorting exercise by inviting students to sort based on preference or experience: like\/dislike, animals they've seen\/not seen, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd a \u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003ecounting\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e component to the activity by having students sort the animals by number of legs.

Mrs. Adams transportation sort would offer a great compliment to this activity! First, invite students to sort each mode of transportation onto the correct mat - road, sky, water, or track. Once this has been completed, work together to make a list of the vehicles that are considered 'road traffic' and other transportation vehicles you might encounter on the road. [NOTE: Remind your kiddos to think outside of the box since one of the transportation vehicles you might encounter while driving, a train, is not sorted onto the road mat!]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-3206\" alt=\"Transportation and Road Safety Preschool Printable\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Road-Sign-Preschool-Printables.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: printableshare.blogspot.com\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTraffic Signs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road safety unit offers the perfect opportunity to discuss road signs - what they mean and how they keep us safe.
