From Little To Big
Foundation Blocks - Science 4a, b, 6c

Using visual cues, supplemented with oral and written cues, the students will identify and review the life needs of living things. They will sing a song that reinforces these life needs. The students will recognize, sort and match pictures of young living things and their grown-up versions.

It Matters
Foundation Blocks - Science 1a, b, d, 3d, e, f
• Math - 1b, c, d, 3b, c

The students will explore the properties of matter that make solids, liquids and gasses. They will learn the terms solid, liquid, and gas, and identify objects as such. The students will witness how ice turns into water and then steam, and what happens when a solid & liquid mix.

Laws of Attraction: Magnets
Foundation Blocks - Science 2a, b

Students will learn the effects that magnets have on objects. Through various activities, students will discover that magnets are "attracted to” some objects and "not attracted to" other objects. Students will also learn that magnets have poles, and the effects that magnets have on other magnets when the poles are involved.

Scheduling Tip! Goes well the traveling exhibit Zing! (Sept. 27 - Jan. 4).

Patterns in Nature
Foundation Blocks - Science 1a, c, 3c, 6b

Students will discover through natural objects and photographs that nature has various patterns. They will identify basic properties of natural objects by direct observation. They will also observe textures and feel of natural objects. Finally, students will observe and classify the shapes and forms of common natural objects.

Go Green!
Foundation Blocks - Science 7a, b • Math - 6a

Recycling will be fun and easy as students recognize the difference between trash and recyclable materials. They will identify and sort recyclable items and recognize items that have been reused to make new, fun things. They will reuse paper to make a poster to take back to their classrooms.

Shape Up
Foundation Blocks - Math 1a, 4a, b, c

Students will learn that they see basic shapes in their everyday lives. Through various activities, the students will learn to recognize basic shapes and describe how the shapes are similar & different. Students will also match and sort basic shapes. Finally, students will be able to compare two groups of shapes and describe the groups using the terms "more," "fewer," and "same."

That's How It Grows
Foundation Blocks - Science 1b, 6c

Students will be able to recognize the stages of plant growth from seed to flower using pictures and words. They will also learn the necessary elements needed to sustain a plant's life such as sun, water, and soil. Students will learn the four basic parts of a flowering plant.

Weather Around Us
Foundation Blocks - Science 6a

Students will learn through various activities that what we wear depends on the weather. Students will choose appropriate clothing based on daily weather. They will also learn weather patterns of various seasons, and temperatures associated with those seasons.
