Materials:
New or drawn on paper, magazines, small pieces of cardboard, washable paint, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment:
Students will be assessed by observations. If I see they are not understanding which items are and aren’t recyclable, then we will stop and go back over it, until they do. I would pause the video longer, get up and walk around the classroom, and pick up random items while asking “Can I recycle this?”, and wait for the correct responses.

# data[].attributes.body
Activity:
I will put a video up on the projector. When it comes time for the interactive part, I will pause it, giving the students time to answer for each item the video asks about. After this, I will ask them to grab 2-3 recyclable items from a table that I have already put materials on. I will give them the decision to make either superhero cuffs from paper, or flowers from cardboard, magazines, and paper.

# data[].attributes.body
Objective:
After watching an interactive video, Recycling For Kids, students will understand the importance of recycling, along with what items are and are not recyclable. They will also create crafts with recyclable items found around the classroom.

Science standard:
MELS VI.4.c Represents observations about earth and sky through art and construction

Assessment:
The notes taken during their group and independent work can be used to make determinations about student interest and color knowledge. I will review collages for accuracy that can help determine whether students have met the lesson objective.

In real life:
This video is of two preschool students completing my activity. Please listen to their vocabulary and not the “I’m not your friend.” in the background. No need to worry I handled that situation post video. Lol

My assessment will be conducted by simply listening and observing the students actions and language. If I ask a question they do not know the answer to I will provoke their thinking by referring to the object in the table or posters!

# data[].attributes.body
Activity:
I will fill a sensory table with soil. Plastic vegetables as well as simple gardening tools will be placed inside the table. Various plant posters will be placed around the table. While students are exploring I will ask questions based on what they’re thinking while playing!

Books:
Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert

Materials:
Magazines, colored paper, tape/glue, markers/crayons/colored pencils

# data[].attributes.body
Prior to Activity:
Students will gather together before learning center time. I will then read Planting a Rainbow By Lois Ehlert. While I’m reading I will ask the students to identify all of the different colors. As I’m finished reading, I will flip back through the book and ask the students if they can think of any other colors that were not in the book. I will then tell the students they will be making a color collage that will make up colors of the rainbow just like the one presented in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Activity:
I will then show the students all the different colored construction and paper and have the students call out the color name for each sheet. I will then tell the students they will be filling each sheet of paper with pictures that highlight that colored sheet.I will then pass out magazines to each students and instruct them to tear out pictures from the magazine that focuses on their page’s color. I will then show a completed collage to give them an idea of what they will be working towards. The students will be working with a partner to complete the collage. I will then have the pairs share with a group and ask them questions like, what colors did they choose? What are some of the objects in the pictures? Did they find this color difficult or hard to find throughout the magazine? I will then have the students work independently to complete two different colored collages than the one they just completed with their partner. While the students are working, I will be walking around and taking notes as well as clarifying misconceptions and encouraging students.
