Sort the class library
Pull a stack of books and let kids sort them into storybooks and information books, then label the baskets together. Ask "How did you know?" for each one. Kids learn the features while organizing a library they actually use.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.
