Pages
This reproducible resource is filled with ready-to-use lessons and cross-curricular
activities and contains four captivating whole language thematic units.
Its 80 exciting pages are filled with a wide variety of lesson ideas
and reproducible pages designed for use at the early childhood level.
At its core are four high quality children's literature
selections (How a Seed Grows, Flowers Fruits Seeds,
Planting a Rainbow, and A Tree Is Nice). For each
of these books, activities are included which set the stage for reading,
encourage the enjoyment of the book, and extend the concepts gained.
The theme of Plants is connected to the curriculum
with activities in language arts, math, science, social studies, art,
music, movement, and life skills. Many of these activities encourage
cooperative learning.
Suggestions and patterns for bulletin boards are additional
time savers for the busy teacher. Furthermore, directions for student-created
Big Books and culminating activities, which allow students to synthesize
their knowledge in order to produce products that can be shared beyond
the classroom, highlight this very complete teacher resource.
Included in this thematic unit:
Suggested Activity Centers:
- Storytime - a place to sit comfortably while reading
and discussing books
- Reading - where children can read books and poems
related to the unit on their own and practice reading-related activities
- Art - where children can draw, color, paint, cut,
and paste to express their thoughts and feelings
