4–5 Years Old- Lesson Plan: Growing Things (Month 7) | Everyday Play N Learn Curriculum Series

Core Skills: Letter Recognition ('Yy', 'Zz'), Sight Word Practice ('me'), Size Gradation (Long, Longer, Longest), Syllable Counting, Force Science (Push vs. Pull), Distance & Directional Coding, & Empathy for Nature

Ignite your 4- to 5-year-olds' curiosity about the natural world with the Month 7: Growing Things Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This comprehensive 21-page monthly curriculum connects early botanical science and nature exploration with essential kindergarten readiness standards.

Designed for structured before-and-after school programming or full-day pre-K instruction, this unit pairs daily language arts and math with hands-on STEM experiments—like ramp fruit rolling, push vs. pull force tests, building block greenhouses, and designing vine support trellises.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (What is a Seed?): Study letter 'Yy' phonics and sight word "me", practice seed counting sequences (1–12), evaluate size gradations (long, longer, longest), design seed shelter tents, and master seed Spanish terms ("semilla", "tierra", "agua", "crecer").

• Week 2 (Stems and Leaves): Explore letter 'Zz' phonics, practice growth addition, measure zig-zag vines with string, design straw trellis supports, execute distance coding commands, and learn plant Spanish terms ("tallo", "flor", "viento", "raíz").

• Week 3 (Plant Movement & Growth): Conduct push vs. pull force experiments and fruit ramp science, review vowels and syllable counting, navigate vine path mazes, and master garden Spanish vocabulary ("jardín", "fruta", "vegetal", "Árbol").

• Week 4 (Community Gardens & The Flower Parade): Review letters Y and Z, measure garden objects, explore historical farming tools, practice flower parade sequence coding, and review all monthly Spanish terms ("naturaleza", "pala", "regar", "bosque").
