Thursday: Sorting by look and feel

Nova drops a bag of buttons on the desk.

They are red, blue, rough, smooth, big and small.

"How should we sort these?" Rocket asks.

Raven holds one up to the light. "What do you notice?"

Nova sparkles. "I found a pattern. Try color first."

Look and feel rules
