Magnificent Magnet

We had color sorting activity with paper clips and popsicle sticks.  Instead of sorting color, I can explain how the magnets work as well.  They were really excited when they saw the paper clips automatically attached to the magnet piece. Enjoy the activity!
What we need: paper clips, jumbo popsicle sticks, Sharpie, and magnet tack piece.
Sort the paper clips according to the color of the sticks.  (They got excited seeing how the magnet works.)
To add more fun, get the trouble maker into the activity.  See how Iyra distracted their focus.  
Iris was a bit bored with the activity.  She knows color and sorting them out wasn't her favorite anymore.
Iesha enjoyed it.  She managed to sort for three sticks. 
We have red, yellow, green and blue cute sticks. 

Great work of Iris.  She created the colorful stick so she can stick more colors on.  Well done, Iris.  This is a great after-class innovation.
