Teach capital letters, where numbers are on keyboard and how to type in a period. Draw see, roots growing from seed, stem growing out from top of seed and then leaves forming on stem. Students can use their eMates to show life cycle. Students act out the life cycle of a plant to music. Explore how plants and animals are the same and different.
Students brainstorm and teachers fill out chart of similarities and differences.
Students will go on a field trip to Opryland Hotel and observe different plants. They will come back to class and draw what they have seen on their eMates. They will beam their pictures to their partners. Students will have a plant party. They will bring in food that comes from plants and play pin the bee on the flower game.
