Among these texts are fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works.

            The students in this kindergarten class will sequence pictures and words to help describe a story by putting the pictures and words in the correct order on a piece of paper with a three out of four accuracy.

 

4. Evaluation

      I will collect the papers to see how accurately the students were able to place the items that the old lady in sequential order.

      6. Procedures

a.       I will show the students pictures of different foods that are usually found at a typical Thanksgiving dinner to get their attention.

b.       The students have already spent some time studying ordinal numbers.

c.       I) Read I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson to the class.

II) While reading the story to the students I will ask them to predict what they think the next thing is that the old lady is going to eat. I will also ask the students if they can recall what the last thing was that the old lady ate.

III) Upon completion of reading the book I ask the students to recall the things that the “old lady” at in sequential order.

IV) After the students have recalled the items that the old lady ate I will explain to the students the activity that they are going to do.

V) Once the activity has been explained to the students they will return to their seats and begin working on their activity.

VI) Then the students will cut out the things that the “old lady” ate and glue them in the correct order to a piece of paper.

d.       To conclude the lesson I will ask the students what some of the things are that they eat for Thanksgiving and if they are the same things that the old lady in the book ate.

e.       Upon completing the lesson the students will line up and get ready to go to lunch.

f.        For the students who are not able to do this assignment, I will have them tell me what some of the things are that the old lady ate.

 

      7. Connections

            This lesson will connect to can be connected to being able to retell a story. It can also be tied to the Thanksgiving holiday and the origins of it. As well as being   connected to nutrition and the importance of eating the right kinds of foods.

 

      8. Related independent activities

            The students that finish gluing the pictures in sequential order will color the pictures and write a list of things that they eat at Thanksgiving on the back of their paper using inventive spelling.

 

      9. Documentation

            The students’ academic achievement will be tracked through observation and once they are able to do a certain task successfully that task will be marked off on the checklist that there is for kindergarten students.

 

      10. Reflection

            I was very pleased with how well this lesson went and the manner in which I worked with two of the students which tend to be a handful. I was able to gain the students attention and hold it through the entire lesson which was a goal of mine. I believe that I was able to do this because I got the students actively involved with the lesson by means other then just having them do the worksheet that went along with the reading of I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie. The way that I was able to do this was that I had the students recite the things that the old lady ate after she ate something new. This was possible since the story is repetitive with the things that the old lady ate. To help the students remember the things that she ate in the correct order I asked questions during the story, after reading the story, and I asked them to predict what they thought that she was going to eat next. Overall, I was impressed with how well the lesson went especially since there are some ESOL students in the class. I have learned from this experience that it is important to ask questions while teaching and by doing so the students will be able to absorb more of the material.
