https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson This unit all consists of things that happen during the Fall. I incorporated five different subjects that all have a standard to go along with the activity. I also included some type of resource to help engage the students before or during the activity. en-us 2016-08-24 21:10:33 UTC 2023-06-10 03:10:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/aws/73563043/8fc47a91b061709ae63c4e280437f56f/image.jpg cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128356393 Counting and cardinality-count with understanding and recognize "how many" in sets of objects (National)

I would use this concept to incorporate math into my stations for the week of fall. I would put apples on the trees and have the students pick the apples and put the right amount of apples in the baskets. ]]> 2016-10-05 00:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128356393 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128356863 Geometry-Explores shapes in the environment-Investigated and talks about the characteristics of shapes

I would use this concept by having different fall objects (seeds, leaves, acorns) to have the children work on different patterning sequences. ]]> 2016-10-05 00:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128356863 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128357530 National ELA-students adjust their use of spoken, written, and visual language to communicate effectively with different audiences and for different purposes.

This is a great activity to have students learn measurements using different sizes of fall leaves. The students can use different items to measure (paper clips, pumpkin seeds, etc.) This is a time for them to explore the concept of measuring. After they are finished measuring, we will come back together as a group and talk about their findings that they have recorded on their worksheets. ]]> 2016-10-05 00:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128357530 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/128357866 Fiction

I would use this for a brain break during my lesson. I would only use about 2-3 minutes of this video. I would allow my students to get up and dance with their class. Then I would call them back together and get them focused on the lesson again. ]]> 2016-11-29 14:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140504368 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140505265 Visual arts-Shows interest in visual arts-Shows visual interest and engagement in surroundings. 

I would have the husks already prepared for the students to use. I would have different paints available for them to use. Each paint would have a different husk to go with it so they don't mix paint. ]]> 2016-11-29 14:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140505265 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140505405 Visual arts- Shows interest in visual arts- Shows visual interest and engagement in surroundings

I would allow the students to paint whatever they want using the apple stamps that I have made for them.

THERE IS NO NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR ART.

I would have different colored sequins available for the students to use. The apples would already be cut out for them so all they have to do it put the glue down and place a sequin on it. If some of the students can't put the glue down then I would put the glue on the apple for them. ]]> 2016-11-29 14:34:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140506138 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140509778 Fiction

I would use this book before we started our art activity of painting with the corn husks. This is a great book to get the students engaged on the activity. It is a fun book for them because they are worried about where the children are hiding in the cornfield. This also shows them where the corn husks come from. I will make sure that I inform them of this. ]]> 2016-11-29 14:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140511705 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140514233 Video

This is a great way to get students active for thirty minutes a day. This would be the second fun thing that we would do for the end of this unit. We would go outside for this one along with the scavenger hunt. I would already have all of it set up and it would be associated with things you would find during fall-straw bales, cornstalks, candy corn cones, etc. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140582587 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140582769 Health and Self-care-Practices healthy behaviors-Make healthy food choices.

In this lesson, I would bring in all different kinds of food that is harvested in Fall. I will explain to the students how they are harvested and how we can eat this. If there was a parent in the class that was a farmer, then I would ask them to come in and talk with my students able what they do. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140582769 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140583426 Physical Development-Responds to sensory input to function in the environment-Exhibits body awareness.

I would talk to the students about the different parts of a plant-roots, leaves, stem. Then we would do this experiment together and each day talk about the changes we see with our potato. We will collect our data on a class table that will be on displace in the front of the class. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140588497 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140589543 Physical Science-Represents observations of the physical world in a variety of ways-Represents observations through art and construction.

This is another art project that we could do but it works really well with science. After the students get their print of their leaf, then we can talk about the veins that are within the leaf. This is a great to explain to them that this is how they get their food from the trees or plants. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140589543 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140590393 K-PS2-1 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object

With this lesson, I will bring on all kinds of different objects that are associated with Fall. The students will be able to graph their opinion on whether the object will sink or float. They will then be able to experiment on their own when they get to the sensory table during stations. After stations then we will come together to talk about our findings. ]]> 2016-11-29 17:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140590393 cnfriedman1s https://padlet.com/cnfriedman1s/fallthemelesson/wish/140591666 Fiction
