Things That Grow Week 1
During the last few weeks of school, we will begin our final unit for the school year
“Things That Grow”. In this unit, children explore how living things grow, using observations,
experiments and books. In this unit’s stories, children will hear about ducks who find a
special home, a new baby on a farm, a boy who grows from a baby to a school-age
boy and a girl who discovers the joys of growing vegetables. We will continue to work
on letters, letter sounds, and rhyming words and participate in other math, science,
music poetry and art activities.
Theme concepts for this unit:
- Living things grow and have life cycles
- Living things reproduce, and the offspring are the same kind of plant
- or animal as the parents
- Living things need food, water and proper living conditions to survive
- Immature living things need special care
- Living things interact, and among animals, there are predators and prey
