18	Materials	paper ( may want 2 pieces), marker/ crayon	Materials	1 cup flour, 1/2 cup salt, 2 Tablespoons oil, 1/2c warm/hot water, 1/2 cup coffee grounds, bowl to mix in, large spoon	Materials	2 clear glasses, water, salt, 2 eggs hard boiled( recommend hard boiled)	Materials	candy pumpkins, tooth picks, paper, marker	Materials
19	Description	I will start class with a picture from Ethiopia behind me. We will use the think-puzzle-explore routine to see what we would like to learn. Then I will show a video /song, called Ethiopia Song from you tube. We will watch it once and use our Looking 5x2 routine to write down what we remember. We then will watch it a second time and repeat the process. Then we will pick one thing from the video that interested us and draw it.	Description	I will show a coffee tree to the children and we will use our creative questions routine and we will see what each one thinks about the tree and what it might be. We will learn it is the coffee tree. Then we will watch a short video called the Kaldi story at: https://youtu.be/BU-0e6OLIf0 and learn about how coffee was discovered in Kaffee. Usng our wheel of wonder routine, we will follow directions and make our own coffee scented playdoh. We will talk about how the playdoh feel, smells, and looks and connect it to our senses.	Description	I will start class with a picture of the Danakil desert on the back drop. We wil use see-think-wonder to decide what we think it may be and what we would like to know. Then we will watch a video about salt mining on the desert. We will talk about how hot it is in this desert ( up to 122 degrees farahneit). How would we feel working in that heat and no ocean or pool? What do we use salt for? We will make a web of what we use salt for. Depending on the children's knowledge, I will introduce salt being used for preserving food, melting ice, cleaning, and some healing properties (canker sores, stuffy noses). We will use the wheel of wonder routine to do a salt experiment, seeing how much salt is needed to add to a glass of water to make an egg float. We will learn about the term density, and that the salt makes the water denser ( heavier) that plain water and that is why the egg can float. To do that we will fill two clear glasses about 3/4 full of water. In one glass we will add about 3 heaping spoonfuls of water and stir. Then we will carefully add an egg to each cup. If the salt water cup in not floating the egg we will add more salt, seeing how much salt is needed to float the egg. We will then make connections from our STEM activity to the ocean being salt water vs other lakes etc not being. How does that make it different? Will things float easier in a lake or the Ocean?	Description	We will start class by looking at the picture "blue heron" by Michael Grab. Then we will use our creative comparisons routine to see what toy, instrument, and food to compare it to. Once we have done that, we will take our candy pumpkins and see if we can stack them to build with like Michael Grab does rocks. Then we will take tooth picks to see what we can build with it that will also balance, comparing the two ways of balancing things. We will see which way we feel is easier	Description

29	Title	Ethiopia Symbols	Title	Coffee bean count	Title	Ethiopian necklaces	Title	They eat how?	Title
30	Materials	paper, markers, yarn if like, glue, markers	Materials	2 dice, coffee beans ( 10-20 are suggested), paper, crayon/marker/ pencil	Materials	yarn with masking tape over the end to make it easier to "thread", shoe string, or pipe cleaners, mulit-colored ceral with hole in the middle ( fruit loops, fruit flavored cherrios, etc) to thread.( I suggest twice as much as you think they will use, since they meay eat some of them).	Materials	Flatbread/ tortillas, larger plate, small amounts of foods ( prefer 4-5 kinds) that are "saucy"--such as yogurt, peanut butter, jelly, applesauce, yogurt, cottage cheese, anything you can think of that your child like	Materials
31	Description	I will ask if anyone remembers the national symbols of Ethiopia. Then I will show the Ethiopian flag, lion, and calla lilly. We will talk about the flag color (Green-the land and fertility of it, yellow- peace and religious freedom, red- strength and sacrifice of all who defended Ethiopia, emblem- equality regardless of race, creed, social standing, gender), The lion was choosen because it is strong and defends its group of lions ( a pride), as well as being very social, and the calla lilly because it is very abundant, has lots of colors, and many uses. We will talk about how Ethiopia is so populated. Then I will have child ( with help if needed) draw a rectangle and a circle. They then will cut these out to make their own lion with. They can use markers/ crayons/ other paper, yarn etc to make their lion .	Description	I will start class showing whole coffee beans. We will talk about how the coffee beans are picked and watch a video about the process of coffee beans called: Coffee Process From Tree to CUP! at https://youtu.be/faTsRV7bkEc Then we will look at the coffee beans we have in front of us,. We will feel, look at, and smell them. Next we will count our beans, then we will split them into two symmetrical piles. Then with the parents help if needed we will split them into 4 symmetrical piles. Next we will roll the dice we have and see what two numbers we have on the dice. We will count out two piles of beans to match the dice. Then we will write those numbers. Next we will count them all together and write that number also.Then we will write it as an addition problem and answer. We will do the first one together and the parents can work at their child's pace to continue doing the same things with them. We will continue this for the remainder of class.	Description	We will start class by looking at some pictures of different tribes from Ethiopia. We will make a Venn diagram of how they are the same or different from us. Then we will focus on the necklaces they are wearing. We will talk about how we can make necklaces with patterns too. We will explore different patterns with our colored ceral, having parents work with their child to make a pattern. I will show some examples and ask the children for help with what comes next. We will use our colored cereal (with holes in it) and yarn with tape on the end, or pipe cleaner (parents choice) to work on making our own pattern necklaces, making connections to the Ethiopian tribes.	Description	I will start class with a picture showing people eating in Ethiopia. We will use the see-think-wonder routine to see what the children observe in the picture. Then we will watch How to Eat With Injera at: https://youtu.be/4IQ4ds7-Zqk We will make connections to how people in India also eat with their hands, but that In Ethiopia they use the bread Injero to rip apart and scoop up the foods which are often stew like foods. (Wat) All different things are on one plate they eat from. Then we will take our flat bread or tortilla and look at it. We will try to rip it in half to make it symmetrical and then try to do each piece in half again to make it 4 symmetrical pieces ( as close as we can). Next we will take whatever the parents have provided and put it onto our plates ( such as jelly, peanut butter, yogurt, cottage cheese--anything saucey the child likes). Then we will try to use our bread to pick it up and eat it like the Ethiopians do. We will use our circle of view point routine to see how we feel eating that way. Mom/ dad will be encouraged to try this with their child. We will talk about how it makes us feel and if we felt it was easy or hard,. Which do we prefer, using the bread or using silverware. We will make a class bar graph of what is preferred.	Description

Now that you tried it what do you think? Could you eat that way with your family. Who thinks it is easy? Hard? Which part on the bar graph is highest? see-think-wonder routine circle of viewpoint	Thinking Strategies: -Thinking Keys - Key Questions -Thinking Routines -Concept Maps -Others
37	Extension Activities	You could look up a calla lilly picture and let your child paint one. You could also look up information on lions and their habitats	Extension Activities	Use groups of toys and seperate into symmetrical piles. You can always continue to dice game with ant toys or food/snacks you would like to continue work on writing letters	Extension Activities	Continue working on patterns. Using every day objects like their blocks/toys/clothes/etc makes it more fun for them.	Extension Activities	try to make a meal where you eat together like the Ehiopians.

43	Description	We will start class by looking at a picture of Africa. We will talk about which continent it is-connecting to Ethiopia- and what letter it starts with. Then we will listen to the book AlphaTales: The Adventures of Abby Alligator at:https://youtu.be/Hss-Q9PfXLI. Then we will sing the jolly phonics A song. after that we will write the letter togetehr. Then we will write our 3 new site words onto our cards, read them and put into our box. Next, we will do our letter hunt for 3 A things to find in the house, come back with and draw on our web. Once that is done we will take our stencil A ( that parents already have drawn for us for us) and we will turn it into an alligator by using other 2dimensional shapes that parents have drawn out for us( triangles, circles, squares.), We will cut them out and glue them onto our A to make an alligator.	Description	We will start class by looking at a picture of Fit-fit (Ethiopian breakfast food) and trying to guess what it is. Then I will tell them and we will talk about what letter it starts with. Next we will read AlphaTales: Fifi Ferret's Flute at:https://youtu.be/6nN8Sc4qZ-k. After that we will write our letter F and do our letter hunt and make our F web. We will also learn two new sight words. Once we have done that, we will make our stencil F into frog ( connecting to the frogs of Ethiopia). We will write a sight word on each of the frogs legs.	Description	We will start class by doing the Very Hungry Caterpillar flannel board story. Then we will try to guess what letter we are learning today. Once we know it is C we will read. AlphaTales: Copycats at:https://youtu.be/EaBc_a7LCqM. Then we will practice writing our C and practicing the sound. We will do our letter hunt and web. After that we will take our stencil letter C that a parent drew, and we will trun that into a caterpillar.	Description	We will start class by doing our 5 little pumpkins flannel board story. Then we will begin to explore our pumpkins. We will take one and work on filling out the sheet I sent on seesaw, with how tall, how many ridges etc. Then we will take and open our pumpkin, slicing it in half horizontally. We will explore the insides, gut it and count the seeds . The "guts" can be saved in a ziploc bag for further exploring. The halves will be stored in air tight container in fridge for class tomorrow. We will share what we discovered about our pumpkins, comparing whose was taller, etc We will make a bar graph of the heights of our pumpkins We will also practie writing the numbers of how many seeds everyone has in their pumpkin	Description

55	Description	We will stat class by looking at our apple that we each have. we will talk about all the things we can to describe it. -making connections to the letter A also. Then we will have our parents cut it in half and look at the inside. Then we will each count how many seeds are inside of our apples We will take turns sharing that number. When a number is shared, we will all write that number and then we will make that many apple paint prints on our paper. Each person will have a chance to share. When everyone has shared, we will fill the rest of class by picking other numbers to write and the corresponding apple prints to make.	Description	We are going to start class by looking at a picture of one of Michael Grab's rock projects. We will review how it is gravity that holds the rocks in place with balance. Then we will look at a picture of a tree growing out of the side of a hill. We will compare the two photos using a double bubble routine. Once we have done that, we will then take our rocks/blocks and see if we can build anything similar to Michael Grab, with having some smaller objects beneath bigger ones. We will discuss how it makes us feel-easy/hard/ clam/frutrated etc.	Description	We are going to start class by looking at a picture of one of Michael Grab's rock projects.

Next we will make our pumpkin halves into little boats, and make predictions as to what will happen when we put them into water. we will float them in a water bin. Next we will use our wind to try and move them (by blowing on their sails). After that, we will review how the heavier things are the more gravitational pull on them. So what would happen if we put things inside the pumpkin halves, sink?float? We will then experiment with putting different things inside the halves, and see what happens. We will make a list of what we all used and how many things we put in to make a difference in how it floats.	Description

68	Description	look at picture of one of Michael Grabs rock creations. then we will use the elaboration story of how it got like that/. After we have our story then we will talk about how gravity and balancing is how he made the forms. To understand gravity, we will watch Gravity \| The Dr. Binocs Show \| Learn Videos For Kids at: https://youtu.be/suQDwZcnJdg. Then we will do an experiment . we will stand on a chair, with a rock in one hand and a piece of paper in the other We will predict which one will hit the ground first. Then we will try our experiment. if there is time, we will try with other things, like feather and toy, papertowel and apple etc, whatever you can think of, always predicting which one will all first and talking about why. We will make a list of the things that fell fast and slower.	Description	We will start class by doing a zoomed in routine of the Blue Nile bridge. Then we will watch part of Crossing Suspension Bridge by Blue Nile Falls - Ethiopia May 2017 at: https://youtu.be/NSSQpzfz5aM. We will discuss how this has been so important for people otherwise they had a difficuly getting across the river, especially during rainy times (monsoons) or with animals, The bridges have helped them. They have to help repair the bridges. We will talk about how we would feel crossing these bridges. Then we will use our recyclable materials to build our own bridge using our creativity.	Description	We will start class by reviewing what we learned about gravity and forces and how we talked about how our air makes things move (when we talked about germs). We will start exploring it by blowing on a pompom with a straw to see our air moving. We will talk about how the more air exerted, the farther it moves. Then we will experiment with our balloons. We will blow up our ballons and pinch them shut with our fingers. Then we will stand side by side with our paret and release them at the same time. We will take notice of how they moved and how far they went. We will measure how far they went and write it down. Then we will try it again several ways, with less and more air, and compare how far they went each time. Then we will discuss what made it move farther or less and why.	Description	I will start class with a picture of one tribe behind me. We will talk about how there 80 different ethnic groups in Ethiopia. Then we will watch clips of a video called Famous Tribes of Ethiopia. (includes Konso, Dorze, Banaa, Mursi, and Hamer tribes) We will make our own face paint,( mixing 1 Tablespoon body lotion, 2Tablespoons cornstarch, 1Tablespoon water and food coloring for each color you make) and have our parent paint our face.( can use q-tips or brushes) Once our face is painted then we will use our step inside routine to see how we would feel as a tribal child.

70	Objective	To learn what gravity is and how Michael Grab used it in his art work.	Objective	To use our creativity to use recyclables to make our own bridge, and learn why these bridges are so vital to the Ethiopians	Objective	To understand that air is a force and it moves things.	Objective	To learn more about some of the tribes of Ethiopia and understand that while they may live/ dress differently, they are people and families just like us.	Objective
