Do you know who else helps in pollination? Hummingbirds!!
Our Lessons For the Week!

Date: 5/13/20

What is our theme? Hummingbird Feeder

What is the lesson (overall purpose)?  
  • observe (live or through video or webcam) how animals and plants interact in their environments to survive (e.g., bees pollinate flowers while they gather nectar to make honey; birds eat seeds for food and also distribute seeds that result in new plants).

MA Guidelines/Standards:

K-LS1-2 (MA) Recognize that all plants and animals grow and change over time.
PK-LS2-3 (MA). Give examples from the local environment of how animals and plants are dependent on one another to meet their basic needs.

Learning Outcomes:
Observe animals (or pictures or videos of animals) and discuss ways they grow and change.
Model a sense of wonder about the world (e.g., "I wonder...?" "How could that work?" “What do you think about...?").
