This will be the last week of our Things that Grow Unit. During this unit children will explore how living things grow, using observations, experiments, and books. Through story time readings, children hear about ducks who find a special home, a new baby on a farm, a boy who grows from babyhood to school age, and a girl who discovers the joys of growing vegetables. Children continue to learn about letters, sounds, and rhyming words and participate in many mathematics, science, music poetry and art activities.The theme concepts include:
- 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.
