Lesson Plan # 2: Fower
Overview
My unit theme will be on Flowers. I chose flowers because they are beautiful works of art, that were created as we were by God. They come in various shapes, forms and styles, as we as humans have been created withour many different varieties and diversaties. As humans we battle with self-esteem issuses, some high and some low. We, like flowers have to grow and adapt to our society that we are place to live in. Therefore we have to be watered and nurtured so that we can survive just like a flower. The word of God tells us that we are “Fearfully and wonderfully made”. It also tells us in Philippians 4:13, that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. A flower is nurtured through proper nutrition and love,as we as human bodies are nurtured through love and God’s word will be our food. I chose Kindergarden, because it all starts from a seed. Children at the lowest level of age should be nurtured and they grow into the beautiful beings, as a flower grows from a seed. And in doing so, this can be nurtured and mastered in the visiual arts and family life education pieces of children seduction, by showing the students the beauty of a flower and what is within themselves and how to hold on to their beauty according to the word of God.

These groups woud require the teacher to use different tactics to teach the learners about the flowers. For the learners with visual impareness, the teacher would use scent and touch to differentiate the flowers. For the slow learners, the teacher would repeat the concept until they can confortably name different types of flowers and perhaps their use in the society other than being a source of beauty to our environment. The teachers could use the bright students to interact with the other students in physical activities concerning the lesson
