Dear Teachers and Fellow Educators,
This thematic unit plan is meant to help students enhance their knowledge of trees with a little help from The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. This lesson is meant for a 2nd grade class. In this lesson plan the students will grasp the concepts of cause and effect, even and odd numbers, information about trees and nature, the concepts of comparing and contrasting and to enhance their observation skills. Each activity used integrates the arts, which will allow the students to take the information they learn from this thematic unit plan and remember it in a fun way. This lesson will help students remember important information that they will take with them because of the way it is presented in the classroom. The students will understand that art can be used in any subject and can be an enjoyable way for them to learn key concepts they will choose to remember.
