Day Four • The season discussed today is spring. • We will talk about all of the new animals being born in the spring. • The students will paint flowers that bloom in spring. • We will hang pictures of flowers the students will make throughout the room, with the other seasons the students have created, so they can see and understand that there are differences throughout the year.
Day Five • I will introduce street signs and what they mean. • The students will look at pictures of different street signs. • The class will play a game of red light, green light. Day Six • We will discuss rules and why we should follow them. • The class will analyze the consequences that we face when we do not follow the rules in our environment. • A police officer will come and talk to the students about the importance of following rules in and out of school.
Day Seven • Instead of rules of the environment, I am going to introduce the rules of a map to the students. • The students will log onto a website that they can look at together that has a kid-friendly map that they can understand. • http://interactive2.usgs.gov/learningweb/images/mapadv_ill3.gif • I will give them different things to look for on this map so they can learn the concept of reading a map. • The students will draw their own map and make up a story to go along with it.
Evaluate and Revise • The students will be evaluated on the participation that they show in class. • There will be points awarded for smiling faces, meaning a good attitude, and for doing all assignments and turning them in on time. • There will be points given for neatness when doing crafts and drawing activities.
