Grades: 1
*This is a lesson I taught to first grade students as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching pre-internship.
1. Use garden slide from the four seasons power point to show the changes in gardens throughout the seasons.
2. Model to the students how to complete the garden card sort. Then divide the students into small groups and have them complete the sort.
3. Review and question to check for understanding.
4. Have students complete the gardens pages in their seasons book. For below-level writers, have the words traced onto writing paper, then have the student(s) trace over to complete their page.
5. As students finish, they may complete the garden matching page. Have them match the description of each garden to the correct season, then draw a picture underneath each description.
