Lesson Outline
This morning we began our session by setting up a new calendar for the month of May. Danny chose an AB pattern using blue and brown. He then wrote the numbers on the calendar following his pattern. We reviewed the month, date, and year. We also discussed today, yesterday, and tomorrow. We began an activity in which after hearing three consecutive days, he had to state the day that would come next. Next, we watched a short video by SciShow Kids about Recycling. We learned that this helps the Earth by making less waste. We saw goods that had been made from recycled items. For example, we saw that from a milk jug they can make food containers, benches, water bottles, carpets, and even clothes! We then made tags to hang on our globe that we painted. Danny wrote: "Help our Earth", "Recycle", "Use Trash Can", and "Turn off Lights". We finished up our day with some activities in his Geography textbook. On page 26, we looked at rivers and learned that a river is a large amount of water flowing. We found three pictures of things of ways to cross a river (motorboat, rowboat, and bridge). Danny was tricked a bit by the bridge, so we discussed how we use bridges. On page 27, we discussed the human world. This concept focused on places that humans make, not nature. Danny did a great job finding the three pictures: school, city, and zoo. Finally, on page 33, we discussed that cities are busy places filled with people. We looked at a map that showed various buildings in a city and talked about each. We described a post office, apartments, theater, bank, and hotel. For our last few minutes, we verbally discussed some wants and needs.
