Tell them that their bodies need food. Look at your daily schedule and ask them what they do during naptime. They sleep. Tell them that their bodies need sleep. Show them a bottle of water and ask them what it is. Tell them their bodies need water. Show them a real flower and/or picture of a flower (provided).

Watercolor Sunshine Remind children that water and sunshine make a plant grow. Give each child a paper plate. They use yellow watercolors to paint their suns (paper plates). Once dry, help them paste yellow straws and/or pipe cleaners around the sun to become rays. You can also have children paint paste onto their plates and sprinkle gold glitter to give the sun some shine. Lastly, paste a craft stick onto the paper plate suns to make a sun puppet. Save for Music today. 33 Flowers Go on a walk outside and count each flower. Try to find 33 flowers. If a flower walk is not possible, scatter 33 paper flowers (provided) on the floor. Children find the flowers, line them up on a table, and count them. Sing and Act Out Sun, Sun, Stay A While (tune of Rain, Rain, Go Away ) Hold paper plate suns from Art while singing: Sun, sun, stay a while. You help the flowers to smile. Sun, sun, where are you?

Say, Just like your bodies have different parts such as feet, legs, arms and faces, flowers have different parts too. Point out the stem, leaves and flower on a real flower or a picture of a flower. Alphabet Flower Path Write one letter each on small dessert paper plates. Give each child a few paper plates. Say, Let s make an alphabet path. The first step is the A flower. Who has the A? The child with the A plate brings it to you. Continue through Z. Then children walk the flower path saying each letter sound. Mosaic Flower Pre-cut a flower shape (provided) for each child and mount it onto colored paper. Children dip pieces of colored tissue paper into paste and then place them onto the petals of the flower. Next, they dip small pieces of green tissue paper into paste and cover the stem and leaf. Save for Social Skills. Drinking Stems Show the children white carnations. Count how many carnations altogether. Point to the stems and ask them what it is called. Tell them that stems bring water to the flowers. Cut the stems at an angle and place them in a glass or vase of water colored with food coloring. Mark the water level on the glass or vase. As the day goes by have children notice how the carnation will change to the color of the water as the stem drinks up the water to the flower. Also notice that the water level is lower than the originally marked line. Sing Parts of Plants (tune of The Muffin Man ) Oh, do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants, parts of plants? Oh, do you know the parts of plants that help them grow-ow-ow? Stems move the water up the plant, up the plant, up the plant. Then a flower can grow-ow-ow. Flower Colors (Giving Compliments) Children share their mosaic flowers from Art today. They take turns naming a color in their flower. Children say, That is a pretty flower. Great job, (Name of Child). You are an important stem in the life of a child. Your care, teaching and love help them bloom into beautiful flowers.

(Caution: Always check for allergies.) Ziti Zucchini Flowers Children paint dry ziti pasta green. They paste the ziti onto construction paper to become a stem. Next, help them cut pieces of zucchini and paste onto the stem to become leaves. Last, children paste scrunched pieces of colored tissue paper on top of the stem to be the flower.

Class Filter Flower Garden Children paste their coffee filters from Math yesterday in the center of a piece of colored butcher paper. These will become flowers. Next, they paint a green line coming down from the coffee filters to become stems. Last, they paste real leaves onto the stems. Hang the class flower garden in the room to enjoy.
