Program Description

Winter to spring to summer to fall, seed to fruit to seed, experience how the cycle of the seasons affects the life cycle of the plants we eat.

Big Ideas

Daily and seasonal changes affect all living things.

Plants and animals have observable features.

Observable patterns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.

Living things have life cycles adapted to their environment.

Water is essential to all living things, and it cycles through the environment.

Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems.

Daily physical activity helps us develop movement skills and physical literacy, and is an important part of healthy living.

Daily participation in physical activity at moderate to vigorous intensity levels benefits all aspects of our well-being.

Learning how to participate and move our bodies in different physical activities helps us develop physical literacy.

Movement skills and strategies help us learn how to participate in different types of physical activity.
