Sorting Construction Paper

Save yourself time: sort out construction paper by color at the beginning of the school year! Don't have time in the midst of beginning of the year chaos?  Have students help you do it!

Students love their classroom, they really do.  Let them take ownership and help with a classroom job.  Whenever it is time for students to "sort objects by color", this is my FAVORITE lesson to do!  I teach students how to work together in a group; model how to place one paper down at a time; show students how to create neat stacks.  

The students LOVE doing this! They are always bummed when we run out of paper.  It is amazing to watch my five year olds work together as a team (and get our paper sorted at the same time).
