SEQUENCING

THIS WEEK:
Make a "sequencing" busy bag for your child. There are many resources on the internet with stories, or events laid out in cards for your child to put into the correct order. Depending on the age of your child, you may want to put several different "stories" in one bag. My favorites are those that are based on my childrens favorite books. I include the book in the bag as well. Or, if your child is age 2 or less, you may want to teach this concept by "big, bigger, biggest" with putting objects or pictures in order by size. You may want to use a picture of their favorite story book character, animal, etc. and just use your computer to copy the image in different sizes to be put in order from smallest to biggest. Once you have your cards, place them in a bag and you have a grab and go learning activity to keep your child busy. One of my favorite resources for sequencing stories is from http://www.archjrc.com/childsplace/mittensequence.htmll
