Celebrate Spring (continued...)
WEEKLY LESSON PLANS
Monday April 25, 2012
I.) Core Activity
Kindergarten: students in this cohort will focus on verbal expression and overall vocabulary review with a special flashcard activity.
Pre-K: `Hello Mr/Miss. Sunshine` students will create a unique paper sunshine this activity is meant to reinforce core shape recognition and recall, in particular circles and triangles from which the sun will be created. Also focuses in a natural way on the continous theme of weather in circle time.
Tuesday April 25, 2012
I.) Core Actvity:
Kindergarten: flowing from one of our key spring vocabulary words `rainbow` students in this cohort will be asked to create their own unique rainbow artwork. In addition to encouraging free expression and creativity students will be given only the primary colours and asked to mix them in order to create the secondary colours they desire. Therefore cross curricular components of this activity include art, measurements. blends and colour recall.
Pre-K: students will do a similar activity to their counterparts in the Kindergarten sector, this activity will be modified in two key ways: the use of water colours which do not require blending (only recall abilities) and the rainbow will be pre-drawn for ease.
Wednesday April 26, 2012
Kindergarten: Today students will be read `The Story of a Sunflower.` Though it is unlikely they will understand the entire meaning of this story what is impotant that they make the cognitive connections between how a seedling becomes a plant and with human care and natural forces (sunshine and water) blooms into a flower. A very real example of this is in our class garden and an example flower from it will be used during circle time to demonstrate that point.
Pre-K: students in this class will also hear the story, however, primary attention will be given to the example of the garden.

Friday April 28, 2012
Kindergarten:Extending their knowledge of flowers and plants---as well as aknowledge spring in a very beautiful way students will learn about how the blooming of Cherry Blossom trees signals spring in many places around the world. Using the very unique (and quite foreign to Russian pupils) technique of ear-bud dot painting they will create their own cherry blossom portraits. This activity is meant to introduce students to a very different form of creation.
Pre-K: same activity (heavily supervised)
