Following the gallery walk, students will participate in assessments on letter sound identification to check their understanding. The week will conclude with a review of snap words. 

ELA: Prepare a reading corner for kids to practice private reading and partner reading with parents or a stuff animal. Here is a chart that you can display in the reading corner

The young scientists engage in a movement game to practice controlling their speed—alternating between fast and slow. They learn to connect their speed with keen observation by noticing details, such as the color of a peer’s shoes.

Next, they venture outside to observe nature, sitting quietly in specific spots to enhance their observational skills. They start with brief observation periods and gradually increase the time. After each session, the scientists collaborate with a partner to discuss the details they noticed. This activity fosters their ability to observe closely and deepens their connection with the natural world.

Scientists can find a quiet outdoor spot in their yard and sit quietly for 5 minutes. they can use this time to observe their surroundings carefully. Afterward, they will write down or draw three details they noticed, such as colors, shapes, or the movement of animals. Scientists Challenge themselves to notice something they have never seen before!
