​Classifying is a life skill that children begin developing from a very young age. They are observing the world around them prior to being able to act on it. In early childhood they begin naturally classifying things into categories and classifications by multiple properties and connections. This training will provide background on the many ways that classifying skills can be supported and enhanced in an early childhood program. Included are example lesson plan and peer discussions with fellow educators.
Learning Outcomes:
  • Analyze example lesson plans for use in an early childhood program
  • Identify the importance and purpose of classification and sorting in an early childhood program.
  • Define classification skills and their purpose
  • Discuss common classification activities and uses in an early childhood program
  • Explain at least one example of a classification activity for an early childhood program
  • State how classifying supports school readiness
**  A special thank you to Aurora Tollestrup, BS Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
