I'm in the house.

I created this board to do a sorting activity with my preschoolers. We talked about rooms and then I had them take turn choosing objects and deciding which room they go in. I have a video of the activity but the file is huge and I can't get it on here, or YouTube or GoogleDocs so I'm not entirely sure what other options I have. It was supposed to be paired with this book: 

but time did not allow, unfortunately. This was one of my favorite books growing up and it would go perfectly with this activity because it names a number of objects in a house in a rhyming fashion.

Speaking of preschool, here's a sample dialogue from my placement.
Child: Can horses climb ladders?
Me: I don't think so, they don't have fingers so that would be very difficult.
Child: But they could use their teeth to do it, right?
This isn't that funny, but the mental image of a horse climbing a ladder using it's teeth had my rolling.
