COOPERATIVE LEARNING LESSONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

LESSON #1 DESIGNING AND PLANTING A RAISED BED GARDEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

ODE EARLY LEARNING STANDARDS: <\/strong> RELATIONSHIPS: PEER RELATIONSHIPS AND INTERACTIONS: STANDARD STATEMENT
\nInteract with peers in more complex pretend play including planning, coordination of roles and cooperation.With modeling and support, negotiate to resolve social con icts with peers
\nINITIATIVE:PLANNING ACTION AND REFLECTION: Develop, initiate and carry out simple plans to obtain a goal.Use prior knowledge and information to assess, inform, and plan for future actions and learning.
\nCREATIVITY: EXPRESSION OF IDEAS AND FEELINGS THROUGH THE ARTS:Express interest in and show appreciation for the creative work of others. <\/p>\n

MATERIALS:<\/strong> 4 X 8 FEET RAISED GARDEN BEDS, SEEDLINGS FROM THE VARIOUS VEGETABLES, FLOWERS AND HERBS PLANTED, MEASURING TOOLS, POSTER BOARD, CRAYONS\/MARKERS\/COLORED PENCILS, YARN\/STRING, PLANTING TOOLS<\/p>\n

BEFORE:<\/strong> THE CHILDREN WILL HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH AND LEARNING ON SEEDS, PLANTS, PLANT GROWTH AND PLANTED SEEDS TO GROW SEEDLINGS IN THE 6 WEEK UNIT. <\/p>\n

STEP 1)<\/strong> IN DISCUSSION WITH CHILDREN, LET THEM KNOW IT IS TIME TO PLANT OUR SEEDLINGS IN A RAISED GARDEN BED. LET THEM KNOW THEY WILL BE DESIGNING THEIR GARDEN BEDS INDIVIDUALLY FIRST AND THEN WORKING WITH A GROUP OF 3 CHILDREN TO COMBINE THEIR IDEAS INTO ONE GARDEN BED DESIGN. <\/p>\n

SHOW THEM PICTURES OF RAISED GARDEN BEDS AND VARIOUS GARDEN BED DESIGNS. ASK WHAT THEY SEE, WHAT THEY NOTICE, WHAT THEY HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT. <\/p>\n

STEP 2:<\/strong> SHOW THE CHILDREN A SEED PACKET AND READ OFF SOME OF THE INFORMATION FROM THE BACK OF THE SEED PACKET. ASK CHILDREN WHAT THEY THINK IT MEANS AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. <\/p>\n

STEP 3:<\/strong> GIVE THE CHILDREN A PIECE OF 8 X16 INCH WHITE PAPER AND ASK THEM TO DESIGN A GARDEN, USING THE INFORMATION THEY KNOW AND HAVE ACCESS TO AND USING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO GUIDE THEM. <\/p>\n

GUIDING QUESTIONS:<\/strong> WHAT PLANTS DO I WANT TO PLANT IN MY GARDEN? WHAT DO THE PLANTS LOOK LIKE AS SEEDS AND SEEDLINGS? WHAT DOES THE SEED PACKET SAY REGARDING SPACING OF SEEDLINGS? HOW MUCH SPACING WILL I HAVE BETWEEN MY SEEDLINGS? WILL I HAVE ENOUGH SPACE? OR TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH? HOW WILL I MEASURE TO MAKE SURE MY GARDEN HAS THE SPACING IT NEEDS? <\/p>\n

STUDENTS CREATE THE GARDEN DESIGN INDIVIDUALLY AND ARE READY TO SHARE. <\/p>\n

STEP 4:<\/strong> HAVE THE CHILDREN HANG THEIR GARDEN DESIGNS AROUND THE ROOM. DIVIDE THE CHILDREN INTO GROUPS AND HAVE THEM WALK WITH THEIR GROUPS AND DISCUSS WHAT THEY NOTICE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT DESIGNS. WHEN THE CHILDREN GET TO A DESIGN FROM SOMEONE IN THEIR GROUP, THAT PERSON SHOULD TALK THEIR GROUP THROUGH THEIR THINKING ABOUT THE DESIGN ( THIS SHOULD BE MODELED) <\/p>\n

STEP 5:<\/strong> ON A CHART PAPER, AS EACH GROUP TO WRITE DOWN IDEAS THEY HAD NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IN THEIR OWN WORK THAT THEY NOTICED IN OTHER STUDENT’S WORK, ONES THEY MAY WANT TO ADD. <\/p>\n

STEP 6:<\/strong> LET THE CHILDREN KNOW WE ARE GOING TO WORK AS TEAMS TO COMBINE OUR IDEAS AND CREATE A GARDEN DESIGN THAT INCORPORATES IDEAS FROM EACH OF THE THREE PEOPLE IN OUR GROUP. <\/p>\n

STEP 7:<\/strong> PASS OUT POSTER PAPER FOR CHILDREN TO SKETCH OUT THEIR IDEAS. CHILDREN SHOULD USE THE SAME GUIDING QUESTIONS TO GUIDE THEIR TEAM PLANS. THE TEACHER ROTATES FROM GROUP TO GROUP GETTING CHILDREN STARTED AND ASKING GUIDING QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY. <\/p>\n

STEP 8:<\/strong> AFTER ALL PLANS ARE COMPLETE, SHOW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO AND DISCUSS WHAT’S NEEDED TO BEGIN PLANTING. <\/p>\n
