"Bee"ing Worker Bees! A literacy & nature learning plan

This learning plan is based on the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines (link on my homepage) for children ages 3-4, focusing on #5 Communicating (Literacy). It encourages students to build literacy skills through speaking and listening, using their home language and preferred communication methods. Students will draw on the language and literacy they already know while exploring new words and concepts through observation and creativity. The activity assumes competence, is accessible, and fosters collaboration between students and adults from planning to reflection.
