February – The Study of Balls!
For the next two weeks,
students will learn about balls. As we investigate
this topic, we will work together to find the answers to our theme
questions. Some of the questions
include: Do all balls bounce?, What makes balls move?, Who uses balls?, and
What are balls made of?
Some of the books we will be
reading this week are:
• A Birthday Basket for Tia by Pat Mora
• The Little Red Hen by Bonnie Dobkin
• The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins
• Bounce by
Doreen Cronin
Lessons and activities for the theme:
Math – Students will be able to sort and match different
sizes and types of balls.
Art – Children will be able to draw balls or construct a sphere out of
paper.
Blocks – Students will have balls of various sizes and be able to construct
ramps to roll the balls.
Pretend Play – Students will have balls added to pretend play to
'play ball' with the dolls and each other.
Writing- Students
will be able to draw a picture of what they learned from the classroom
read-aloud regarding balls.
Science - Students will be able to construct ramps of different heights to see how
fast a ball will roll.
