Well if we are going to learn about bees we of course need to make honeycombs!
Our Lessons For the Week!
What is our theme? Honeycomb
What is the lesson (overall purpose)?
Provide many opportunities for children to see/hear the names of numerals in meaningful contexts.
Provide many opportunities for children to use one-to-one correspondence in daily routines
MA Guidelines/Standards:
W.PK.2. Use a combination of dictating and drawing to supply information about a topic.
PK.CC.1. Listen to and say the names of numbers in meaningful contexts.
APL 2: The child will demonstrate eagerness and curiosity as a learner.
APL4: The child will demonstrate creativity in thinking and use of materials.
Learning Outcomes:
Songs, Books & Videos (Motivational Techniques)
https://youtu.be/cDlHHCGbMc4 - Video about how bees make honey.
Materials:
Cut the paper towel roll into 1/2 inch thick sections. Bend them in half, then bend them in half the other way to make a diamond shape. Arrange the honeycombs in a beehive shape on the yellow paper. When you’re satisfied with the design, glue them in place and let dry.
Activity Wrap Up:
Talk about the importance of preserving bees so that we still can have delicious honey to eat and other fruits and vegetables that bees are responsible for pollinating.
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
You can make more honeycombs and make them into letters or shapes.

Learning Outcomes:
- model flexibility by demonstrating that with new information, you can change your mind or adjust your plans and that there may be more than one way to do things.

How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
- ask open-ended questions that create dialogue (e.g. “What do you think about…?” “Tell me more about it.” “How do you know that?”).
- ask reflective questions as children are engaged in activities, such as “What happened when ___? What did you think would happen?”
- help children connect their plans with implementation (e.g., “You planned to ___, how did it work out?”).
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
You can make more honeycombs and make them into letters or shapes.
