Harriet’s Halloween Candy

Thanks to everyone that helped us with our fun learning activity by sending the bags of candy.  We read the story Harriet’s Halloween Candy by Nancy Carlson.  We did a story map of the characters, setting, problem, and resolution of the story and then sequenced the story events.  Then we got to the fun part and got to work with the candy!  We estimated how many pieces were in the bags, counted, and sorted the candy.  We learned about how to sort by attributes. I hope they showed you how to sort their treats all the different ways we worked on: by colors, sizes, shapes, chocolate/not chocolate, kinds, wrappers, hard/soft, favorites/not favorites, etc…I hope they shared their treats after they showed you what they learned about attributes!  Thanks again for helping us make learning FUN!
