Our class is learning about sorting objects based on their properties.
Plants and Animals 
Metal and Wood
Glass and Rubber
These are just a few examples.
Here is a fun website you can explore with your child. At this website your child can sort objects based on what they are made from. Then you can help your child take a quiz about the items they sorted.
We are also learning about Venn Diagrams. Some items can fit in to two categories. At the Sorting With Hampshire site you and your child can help Hampshire the pig organize his room by sorting things in to a Venn Diagram.
This one is an easy one. For a little more practice try Sorting Living Things. This is a site that can help your child sort plants and animals.
Learning about sorting objects is part of the science TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) The students are expected to sort objects and events based on properties and patterns.
Have a great time sorting objects with your child. I hope that these activities gets your child thinking about all the different ways things can be sorted.
