3–4 Years Old: Lesson Plan: Growing Things (Month 7) | Everyday Play N Learn Curriculum Series

Core Skills: Letter Identification ('Yy', 'Zz'), Vowel Recognition (A, E, I, O, U), Grammar Pronouns (He, She, It / Él, Ella), Seed Counting & Sorting, Spatial Concepts (Near vs. Far / Cerca vs. Lejos), Plant Life Cycle Sequencing, Directional Path Coding, & Gentle Care for Nature

Inspire early botanical discovery and environmental curiosity with the Month 7: Growing Things Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This detailed 21-page monthly curriculum connects early science, plant life cycles, and nature appreciation with foundational preschool learning standards.

Designed for structured preschool classrooms or early childcare programming, this unit balances daily letter phonics, sight word tracing ("see", "go"), and counting exercises with hands-on STEM experiments—from seed sorting and rain gauge measurement to leaf texture rubbings, grid path coding, plant height block stacking, and veggie stamping.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (What is a Seed?): Trace letter 'Yy' phonics and sight word "see", count 3 to 5 seeds, practice plant life cycle sequencing cards, explore near vs. far spatial grammar, test "If/Then" growth logic, and master seed Spanish vocabulary ("semilla", "agua", "cerca", "lejos").

• Week 2 (Sun, Soil & Water): Study letter 'Zz' phonics, practice leaf texture rub art, measure zigzag paths with string, track rain gauge volume jars, execute grid navigation coding mazes, and master weather Spanish terms ("lluvia", "hoja", "verde", "agua").

• Week 3 (Flowers & Pollen): Practice garden vowel identification, move pom-pom "pollen" between paper flowers, count petals, craft 3D flowers and pollinator masks, measure plant block stem heights, and master flower Spanish vocabulary ("flor", "abeja", "bonito", "él/ella").

• Week 4 (Leaves & Growth): Name harvest vegetables, execute fruit taste tests, run a pretend Garden Market with play money, evaluate heavy vs. light crop weights, trace plant parts (root, stem, leaf, flower), and review all monthly Spanish terms ("fruta", "comer", "jardín").
