Spring Glyphs for Kids: Parts of a Plant Glyph / Sunflower Glyph

I'm really excited about my sunflower glyph for kids. My Parts of a Plant Glyph is such a great way to integrate many subjects and learn about the parts of a plant at the same time. Your students will work with math skills, data analysis, graphing skills, writing activities with prompts for differentiated instruction and more.

As a bonus, I've even added a parts of a plant flip book to the lesson. This book tells about the parts of a sunflower plant, and it has the glyph questions on it, so you only need to print one page to get all of this information to your students. If you decide to use them, there are also labels for the parts of the sunflower plant that you can add to your students' sunflower glyph or the to part of a plant diagram.

Spring Glyphs: Kite Glyph for Kids with Shapes

Use this spring glyph for spring fun while you meet common core standards. Your students will learn to recognize shapes including the oval, circle, square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, hexagon, pentagon, triangle, and rhombus while they create spring kite glyphs full of colors from the rainbow for your bulletin board. This glyph is easy on you too--just print the patterns on white copy paper and your students will follow directions to color each shape with colors from the rainbow. You can even make choices to allow for differentiated instruction. The fun doesn't stop there! Next, your students will work as a class or in small groups to graph the kite glyph data that is represented in visual form on the kites. Then tie in a literacy connection with three writing prompts based on the glyph and one additional prompt that uses a Venn diagram connection. This packet includes the following items.
