Sunflower
Beginning Sounds Match
~Plants/Flowers~
To
begin our theme on flowers and plants I read the story
The Tiny Seed by
Eric Carle! This story beautifully illustrates the
sequence of a flower!
Each
child gets to plant their own lima bean! We talk
about what a plant needs to survive...sun, air, and
water. We observe and water our soil everyday! We
record our observations in our Plant Journal!
Print journal cover
here.
Each
child gets to observe their three Lima Beans growing
roots!
I
spread seeds all over the playground blacktop. Students
get to walk
around in their socks to see if their socks pick up any
seeds! This helps
students see how seeds travel!
We
categorize living and nonliving objects!
We
read our Sunflower House take home book with our
butterfly pointers!
Students
have fun observing flower seeds in the Science/Math
Center!
Students
helped sort my groceries into fruits and
vegetable categories!
Once we sorted the produce, students got the
opportunity to taste different kinds
of vegetables! We looked in the vegetables for
the seeds and tasted
carrots, squash, cucumbers, green beans, red potatoes, green bell pepper,
and of course the winning favorite...WATERMELON!
This is a
fun little poster I created for my Emergent Readers!
I downloaded free clipart from google.com images to
accommodate
my non readers and ESL learners.
Students
have fun matching alphabet letter watering cans to
beginning sound
flowers at the ABC Center! Get your own flower set

Students
practice reading rain gauges at the Math Center!
Print your own gauges

Students build
spring words with word tiles at the Word Work Center!
Students
look through magazines to find pictures that begin
with the
letters in Spring. Under the letter p, this student
glued a picture of a piņata.
Students
get to problem solve and put a Bug floor puzzle
together!
Students
get to play with insects in the block area.
We make our very own class sunflower illustrating roots,
stem, leaves, petals, and seeds with our handprints! We
label the various parts of our flower!
Students label the parts on their own flower! This
flower
was made by students handprints and thumbprints!
Students
get to make ants on a log!
