**[0:00]:** in the next activity that you're going to see is the first of several in a series and this is where they will actually take many different objects that I've brought in household objects buttons shapes and they'll take them and in groups of about two or three sort them the end in the group they'll need to explain their sort and I'll be listening for the words that I need them to to be able to understand by the end and that will be the shape words the color words the size words and the texture words so you'll see me writing on a chart periodically a yes no chart that yes side is all of the properties that they use in their their vocabulary that they bring out in the lesson the no side is actually the object's names here's your first job your first job is I'm going to pass around some just objects you might get

**[0:51]:** these objects I've got some other ones over there not everyone's going to have the same don't worry about it don't fuss don't don't panic what would you do with these if I said go ahead and sort them like put some blue stuff in this pile and put some red stuff in this pile and put some yellow stuff in this pile very cool you know what I'm going to write some words that you said up on our yes side and I'm going to do this all day long and then and I'm going to be writing some stuff on the nose side all day long and at the end when we're done the yes things are going to tell you what we're talking about today so I'm going to write red I'm going to write blue yellow and I'm going to write yellow but that's all I'm going to write for now then I'm going to stop

**[1:43]:** would you three use this

**[1:53]:** bucket you three use this

**[2:00]:** here we go all right what this group do um we did it by shape we didn't care what the colors were we just put did it by shape and we didn't care if like for say like there was this triangle to this triangle it was this one was big and this one was small but we didn't care so we just put them with a triangle group gotcha
