Day and Night Cut and Sort
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Day and Night Cut and Sort" is written for Preschool to 1st Grade (Ages 4-7). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.


Day and night cut and sort for Pre-K to 1st grade: 10 picture cards, from a sun and an owl to a school bus, to cut out and glue under Day or Night. Part of our Winter Solstice holiday activities collection.

FAQ
How do I use the Day and Night Cut and Sort?
⌄
A grown-up reads the words and names each picture. Children cut out the cards, talk about each one and glue it in the panel where it fits.
What is the Day and Night Cut and Sort?
⌄
One page with two panels, Day and Night, and 10 picture cards along the bottom, such as a sun, a moon, an owl and a school bus. Children decide whether each picture goes with the day or the night.
Can I use the Day and Night Cut and Sort at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 1st Grade Winter Solstice resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. There are 30 Winter Solstice resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Winter Solstice activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Winter Solstice resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 4-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Winter Solstice resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
