The lesson focuses on cycles and seasons, specifically relating to time. This is a kindergarten lesson from the Guided Language Acquisition Design project. In this lesson they are combining seasons and development in regards to time, making it feel like it is two separate lessons in one. I chose to focus on them together because they use the same lessons, but change them to fit the topic that they are talking about at that time. One strategy that was used relating to the hypothesis that I chose is singing songs. I think that this is a great way to introduce a topic and have them interact with that topic and the English language. In the lesson they sing songs relating to the days of the week, months of the year, and seasons. The students are conversing as a group with the teacher to better understand and challenge the topic at hand.
