Room 2 Sorting

Before checkout this week, second graders had to sort a pile of books on their tables (our theme for the year is arranging information). Nearly every group came up with a different set of categories, which made my day ... they were using their brains and teamwork! Category examples included: 


  • Cover materials: Hardcover and paperback
  • Size: Big and small
  • Text: Author's first initial
  • Topics: Animals and people
  • Genre: Fiction and nonfiction
  • Call number: E and BD (which was the big takeaway from the activity)

Here are the kids from Room 2 with their books:
