A Drop Around the World (Five in a Row Mini Unit – March)

Description

A raindrop takes the reader on a journey—changing form as it vaporizes, rains down, condenses, cycles through land and trees, and freezes—making its way around the world. Along the way, rhyming verse teaches about the water cycle and makes learning this scientific lesson engaging and fun. Six of the seven continents are touched on through the raindrop’s journey and Five in a Row’s lessons; water’s physical properties are covered and there is a lesson on the water cycle for older students. These are just a few of the concepts and lessons that this Mini Unit provides…you could easily spend more than a week enjoying it!

The book A Drop Around the World is sold separately from the Five in a Row Mini Unit study. You can order the picture book today from your local library or purchase online. A Drop Around the World and all the go-along books will be available on our Amazon shop. ⁠

The Five in a Row Mini Unit is a digital unit study. Mini Units are based on a children’s picture book (like the FIAR units from volumes 1-3).

Each Mini Unit will include a lesson for each of the five subjects that you find in Five in a Row units: Social Studies/Geography, Language, Art, Applied Math, and Science … designed for ages 5-9-years-old and up. There will be specific teaching tips, ideas, suggestions for go-along books for ages 5-9 (and up).

There will be a section of suggestions, ideas, go-along books, and or teaching tips for ages 2-5 that will have a Before Five and More Before Five in a Row focus.

The Mini Unit will also include a section for Older Five in a Row students. Older students will enjoy studying the lessons provided for the Five in a Row section but will have two additional lessons that are designed to help older students dig deeper into the FIAR lesson subject matter. There will also be specific ideas, suggestions, and go-along books for ages 10-12+.

Activity pages that pair with specific lessons will be available at the end of each unit for additional learning opportunities.

Color and black and white story disks are included with each Mini Unit for use with some geography lessons and placement on a world or U.S. map.

The Mini Unit will also include a recipe or food suggestions to enjoy together that ties into the story!
