Remind them of the song they have been learning: These are the Months of the Year! “January, February. March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December these are the months of the year OH YEAH, these are the months of the year!” || [] || Each month of the year represents something a little bit different then the month before. Example: January could be represented by a snow flake while August could be represented by a sunshine. || 2.) Students will have about 15 minutes to look through and talk about all of the books that are available to them regarding the months of the year. 3.) Students will be required to work together to present an idea about what object or item they will use to represent each month of the year. Feedback: Students should be coming up with something like: January – snowflakes, February- hearts, March- pots of gold etc. ||
