Munchers are a great way for 1st graders to practice critical thinking skills. While it’s fun to feed the Munchers, a student is actually working through the complicated process of sorting one or more sounds, objects, or numbers into multiple categories, and working on an explanation for his or her decision! Stay tuned for a video of our class Munchers in action. For now, consider making some to use at home to practice sorting two sounds (consonants, long or short vowels), two kinds of numbers (even, odd), or ordering numbers (least, greatest).
