We're Going on a Leaf Hunt

Yesterday we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather with the green class and went on a leaf hunt.  Since we've been talking about size lately, students were encouraged to keep an eye out for leaves of varying sizes, as well as different colours and shapes.  The senior kindergarten students were instructed to bring their five favourite leaves back to class.  Once back on the carpet we worked on sorting our leaves by size, from biggest to smallest, then by colour and finally by shape.  In the end they had to pick three leaves, to represent small, medium and large, which they glued on a sheet and labelled with the appropriate words in French.

We discussed what we were looking for on our leaf hunt.

Sorting by size.

Sorting by colour.

Small, medium and large.

Junior kindergarten students performed a similar activity but sorted by small and large.
