      Expansion: This could be done both inside and outside.  Students could begin with objects in their desks and discuss their comparisons with their peers, allowing for more communication.

      ENL: ENL students can work with peers who can help them translate and understand description concepts.  Practicing describing vocabulary is useful not just for their math understanding, but for their understanding of English.

    In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, shorter, taller, wider, and narrower. These concepts are not only important for kindergarten math, they also encourage children to become better scientific observers. So find a space to roam-a sandy beach, a wooded park, or a lakeside shore, all offer ample materials to help your child understand size comparison words.

      Adaptation - This project could be adapted to fit kindergarten through third grade classes as it deals with a central theme throughout the grade levels, which is observation of a living organism with greater depth progressing through the years.

      Extension: Older students could use this opportunity to practice making lab reports for fourth grade. Students could be introduced to the steps of the scientific process. This would incorporate writing as well as the use of science and technology if any part of the report is completed on the computer.

    Students will plant seeds, watch them grow, measure them with nonstandard objects. In addition, students will describe the bean's growth in a journal and record the growth on a calendar.

  • Greater Than Less Than Alligator Math
  • I taught my kids that the alligator is greedy and always wants to eat the bigger number.

      This activity is a great reinforcer for older students who struggle with the concept of greater than and less than, not just kindergarteners and first-graders.  The alligator analogy could really help struggling students to grasp this concept because it serves as a mnemonic device to help them to remember what the sign means.

    Use alligator manipulatives to relate greater-than and less-than activities to students.

Grade K temperature making predictions cause and effect weather snowman

shared by Mary Miller on 11 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Living in sunny Southern California, we don’t really have opportunities to make snowmen, so using a simple pre-printed sheet with the outline of a puddle and an overturned paper bowl the kids made their own melty, sunshine snowmen. They put the usual accessories on, with the exception of the sunglasses, and then wrote a sentence about where their snowman should move to or what happened to him. A lot of bang for the buck.

      K.2.3=Describe in words and pictures the changes in weather from month to month and season to season K.NS.3=Generate questions and make observations about natural processes.  This activity could be extended for special needs children by allowing them to explain to the teacher what they are thinking, and then the teacher could help the student express themselves through writing.  Kindergarteners don't know how to write very well yet, anyway, so they will probably need a lot of help and creative teachers to understand their written work.

    In this activity, students make a melting snowman out of paper, then they write about the snowman.  For example, they might say why the snowman is melting.  This activity incorporates a lot of language arts, but it also allows young children to think scientifically and notice things about their environment, such as weather and temperature.

      Expansion: have student record observations in a notebook.  For Kindergarten, students could do so via observational drawings.

      ESL: Done in pairs, this could be a cooperative learning process that will familiarize ESL students with observational techniques and discussion.

    Your first grader probably doesn't know that before we had watches and clocks, people used shadows to tell time! These "shadow clocks" were called sundials, and used the measurement of the shadows to tell what time it was. Introduce your child to the science of sundials by making your own shadow clock. It's a fun way to play with shadows, and will help improve her time-telling skills, too!

      Standard: K.NS.1 - Use all senses as appropriate to observe, sort and describe objects according to their composition and physical properties, such as size, color and shape. Explain these choices to others and generate questions about the objects

    Students learn all about classifying rocks based on the physical attribues that can be observed by holding and looking closely at the rocks.
