What Have We Learned?

 Show image 1A-1: Living things

• Invite students to come up one at a time and identify which of the
  living things are plants and which are not plants.


• Ask students: “How do you know that plants are living?
  
  
  • Plants are living because they need food, water, and air. Plants also
    reproduce or make more of themselves.
  
  
  
  


• Review the names of the different kinds of plants you have prepared.
  Songs and Chants


• Remind students that they heard about plants and the different
  environments plants live in. Remind them that not all plants live in the
  same environment.


• Use the Songs and Chants for Plants in Different Environments to
  review the different types of plants and the environments they live in.
  This song also reviews the needs of every plant—food, water, air, and
  light. These songs can be sung to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot.”
  Note: As much as possible, add motions to the song. For example,
  when you sing “I’m a very tall tree,” you could have students stand up
  and stretch their hands up as high as they can.
