This set also includes a set of posters or anchor charts. These charts can be used to check the answers of the pictures sorted or as an instructional tool to teach about the plants we eat before students begin the sorting activity. These posters also allow teachers to differentiate this activity for students. Those who need more support can use these posters as a guide to filling out their sorting mats.
