If You Need to Know the Seasons, Give Me a Call

We have been working on our seasons unit in science. We've finished winter and are starting spring next week. We should have been about halfway through by now, but you know how that goes. I had four absent today, so I let the kids help me finish my anchor charts.

I drew the trunks and the kids glued on the leaves. I love scrapbook paper.







 

To introduce the unit, we watched this video from Harry Kindergarten. The kids LOVE it. Here's the link if you've never seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWF8Su78xik

I typed it up so I can put it in a center later. Plus I can't remember the words. I'm going to put it on TPT for free. I would just put it on here but I don't know how to upload it.

We've also been busy writing in our seasons' journals I got from Today in First Grade. Here's the link to the freebie. It's a great addition to our study on seasons. http://todayinfirstgrade.blogspot.com/2011/09/learning-about-seasons.html

Animals in Winter











We just finished up our Animals in Winter mini unit. This is the bulletin board we made. We are studying seasons in science. We started off with winter because it goes along with our Reading Street story, Where are my Animal Friends?. The kids had a lot of fun with this unit.
