This week we did a whole unit about Watermelons. And we found many ways to integrate math, language, literacy and art into this fun week!
We began by reading this watermelon book...
We made these adorable books all about watermelons, adding a page each day.
For math, we weighed our class watermelon, and then weighed ourselves. We compared the difference!
Pre-K 2 did some free expression watermelon painting!
Next, we used a string to measure how long our watermelon was. It was pretty big! We took our strings and explored all around our school for items that were as long as our watermelon.
We measured how long it was on a sentence strip and then wrote what we found that was the same length for the next page in our book.
We also read and sang this favorite:
It is so silly and catchy, we have been humming it all week!
We thought up our own rhyming silliness for the next page in our books.
We even had some pretty adorable theme related apparel during the week!
Along with some great watermelon morning messages.
This was another watermelon book that was a hit.
We finished off the week with a special snack. Well, you know what it was!
Some of us really enjoyed it!
Afterwards, we added our last page to our book where the children counted their seeds and drew a picture of their watermelon slice.
That wraps up our wild week of watermelon activities.
Our parents also hosted Teacher Appreciation this week and it was so wonderful. We were pampered and treated to treats and doted on. We feel so valued and appreciated and are so thankful for the generosity and kindness of our sweet parents and kiddos. We are blessed!
Our next few weeks will be filled with end of the year fun craziness and prepping for graduation. We will keep you updated!
