Alternative Sort: Count the LegsDisplay the animal pictures from the sort. Have children re-sort the pictures by identifying the animals that have four legs and sorting those into a group. Have them count the legs of each animal they choose. Then mix the cards and display the animal pictures. Ask children to re-sort the cards by choosing the animals that have fur coats and placing those together.

Vocabulary Building VocabularyExplain that adult animals and young animals have different names. Show the picture of the dog and explain that a young dog is called a puppy. Write the words dog and puppy on the board. Continue with the pictures of the bear and cat. Ask children to say the name of the young animal for each. (cub, kitten) Then challenge children to name other baby animals: hen (chick), duck (duckling), cow (calf), deer (fawn).

Teacher TipThroughout the year, help children take advantage of other opportunities to practice sorting. For example, as part of a science lesson, children can sort leaves or rocks according to size, shape, or color.
