He will teach us about his favorite hobby, gardening. We will read about sunflowers, then paint one and glue sunflowers in the center. We will open up a flower shop in our dramatic play area. SONG: Garden Song SIGHT WORDS: Review all words covered to date: I, can, me, we, the, like, a, to, see, do, have, is play, and, for, your, are, go, this, what, little, said, here, was, she, my, he, has, look, with LANGUAGE ARTS: Our Listen & Write activity will focus on lower case letters and beginning, medial and ending sounds in words. We will read a book entitled, A Reason for a Flower, and learn the names of the various parts of a flower. The children will cut, color, paste, and label all of the parts of their own flower. Each child will also plant bean seeds, observe the growth for several days and take it home. The children will write in their journals, play a vowel sound bingo game and continue to make birthday wish books for their friends. BRAILLE: Over the course of this school year, the children have learned how to make each letter in sign language and in braille. We have been fortunate to have the expertise of Finley’s mom, Jennifer, in helping us identify, color and use a brailler to form the letters in braille. We sincerely thank her for her dedication in coming into the classroom each week to help each child develop an understanding of what braille is and how it is used. MATH: The children will sort and graph seeds and make addition number stories with seeds. They will measure flower pictures and record the measurement in inches. They will also participate in a “Listen & Do” activity where they have to identify and color numbers from a 0-100 number grid.
