Building Background: Whole class
Introduce this lesson by choosing a color that most of the children are wearing (ex:
red). Then tell those students (who are wearing red) to stand in a group. Next ask the
students to look carefully at their classmates and see if they can sort the next group
with a different color. If not, model again with a different color. Continue until the
whole class is sorted by the color of the clothes they are wearing. After they have
arranged themselves, have them explain to each other using sentence frames (“ I’m in
the right group because I am wearing red.”) remind the children they are going to
sort items by color
