Young Fives
Community Partner: "Winter Friends"
Young Five students will support our neighborhood "Winter Friends." They will create pinecone feeders, create terrariums and plant seeds for IE's very own Learning Garden as well as our Senior Center and community members.
Curriculum Connections: This project relates to the areas of English Language Arts, Social studies and Science. In the area of English Language Arts, students will practice their oral language skills as they reflect on their SOCKS Day experience and build on their prior knowledge of nature through discussions and drawings. During the visit from the DNR, students will also practice speaking and listening skills. In Science, students will learn about animals’ needs and habitats. In Social Studies, they will participate in activities that foster good citizenship and civic engagement.
