This will be our last week discussing plants. To extend the lesson the students will learn about living and non living things. In learning about this topic the student will consider the following questions: Does it move by itself? Does it grow and change? Does it need air? Does it need food and water? Does it reproduce? We hope this study will help your children explore and appreciate nature. As we study plants, we will use literacy, math, the arts , and technology to explore the topic in depth. We will learn important social studies and scientific concepts through firsthand investigation.
Learning Centers:
Blocks/Construction: Wrap blocks in green and brown paper (other color paper as desired) to create stems, tree trunk , soil etc. Students will create a garden or jungle.
Science: Students sort rocks, plants, animals, and other objects under living and non living things.
Pretend Play/ Dramatic Play: The dramatic play area will be turn into a flower shop.
