Description: In this language activity you can facilitate a large group discussion with the children on the carpet about what they think the importance of nature is and what nature means to them. After discussing this, you can give each child a blank piece of paper and ask them to use words and illustrations to explain what nature means to them and how they see nature. After this you can take all the children's work and bind it into a book and place it in the science area with the other books. Having this available for the children to access is important as they will feel a sense of self-worth and importance as they made a contribution to the book.According to the Full-Day Early Learning-Kindergarten Program children will be able to:
Language
- 1.5- use language in various contexts to connect new experiences with what they already know (e.g., contribute to large group discussions)
- 1.7- use specialized vocabulary for a variety of purposes (e.g., nature words such as; trees, branches, trunk, soil, minerals)
- 1.8- ask questions for a variety of purposes (e.g., can you help me do this?)
- 1.9- describe personal experiences, using vocabulary and details appropriate to the situation (e.g., during the nature walk I found a huge rock which was very heavy)
- 1.10- orally retell simple events and simple familiar stories in proper sequence
- 2.6- use prior knowledge to make connections
- Use illustrations to support comprehension of texts that are read by and with the EL-K team
