“ The Grouchy Ladybug” – First Grade – Lesson Plan

Fluency in reading is the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. One of the most effective ways to build fluency is through repeated readings of the same text. Some researchers hold that text should be reread at least four times in order to build on fluency. Often, it’s a difficult task to get early readers to get enthusiastic about rereading the same text. This is why stories that repeat the same sentences throughout the text provide both building fluency and reading motivation.

Grade Level : First Grade Lesson Plan

Benchmark Description :

LA.1.1.1.1 – Locate the title, names of author and illustrator.

LA.1.1.5.1 – Apply letter-sound knowledge to decode phonetically regular words quickly and accurately in isolation and in context.

LA.1.1.5.2 – Recognize high frequency and familiar words in isolation and in context.

LA.1.1.5.3 – Adjust reading rate based on purpose, text difficulty, form, and style.

Objectives:

Students will build reading fluency through repeated readings of the text.

Students will apply letter-sound knowledge to decode phonetically regular words quickly and accurately in isolation and in context.

Students will learn new vocabulary (aphids, insist, suggest).

Materials:

“The Grouchy Ladybug Story” by Eric Carle

Journals

Sentence strips.

Procedures:

1. Teacher reads “The Grouchy Ladybug Story” by Eric Carle, aloud.

2. Teacher and students reread the story aloud together.

3. Have the student practice reading a passage with emotion, to emphasize expression and      intonation.

4. Students are grouped together for paired reading.

5. Students are given a sentence strips with text on it. Students then cut apart the words in    sentences and reconstruct the sentences again.

Assessment:

Teacher will informally assess student’s progress on fluency.

Teacher will informally assess student’s ability to reconstruct the story sentence.

Students will write and illustrate a new ending to the story in their journals.

Extension Activities:

Students prepare “The Grouchy Ladybug” performance during which every student takes a part and rehearses his/her lines(s).

Free Science Lesson Plan – Second Grade

Grade Level : 2nd Grade

Benchmark Description : Identify objects and materials as solid, liquid, or gas.

Benchmark Number: SC.2.P.8.2

Body of Knowledge: Physical Science

Objectives:

After this lesson:

Students will be able to define matter.

Students will be able to describe states of matter.

Students will have knowledge of lesson related vocabulary, solids, liquids, gas, matter.

Students will be able to identify states of matter in their every day life.

Materials:

“What Is The World Made Of” by Kathleen Weidner Zoehfeld

States of Matter – Scholastic Power Point Presentation www.scholastic.com/scienceworld

Pencils

Journals

Procedures:

Activate students knowledge of matter, solids, liquids, and gases. Ask if any of them have ever drank a glass of blocks or put on milk for socks? State that everything on earth is made of matter and introduce three states of matter, liquids, solids, and gas. Discuss how water and clay can change their matter states. Through class discussion, come up with examples for each. Read “What Is The World Made Of” by Weidner Zoehfeld.  Review Scholastic Power Point Presentation on States of Matter.

Assessment:

Students write an illustrated story about states of matter and their differences, as well as, explain the way water changes states of matter through writings and illustrations.

Extension Activities:

While on Earth, we have three states of matter, there is a fourth state of matter, plasma. The Sun is in the plasma state. To learn more, students search for additional information on plasma in the school library and/or internet.

Pictograph – Math Lesson Plan

Pictograph Lesson Plan

Grade Level: Second & Third Grade

Benchmark: MA.3.S.7.1 - Construct and analyze pictographs and tally charts from data, including data collected through observations, surveys, and experiments.

Instructional Goal: Students will be able to create pictographs by using data from the

tally chart.

Result of Analysis

Instructional Need: Students need to be able to use their prior knowledge of

tallies and tally charts in order to be able to learn how to create pictographs.

Instructional Analysis:

Cognitive: Reading tallies, tally charts, using the key, creating pictograph,

identifying difference between tally chart and pictograph, making

comparisons between tally chart and pictograph, recognizing patterns,

verbalizing their findings and graph creation.

Psychomotor: Students will use computer mouse during their internet

session.

Affective: none

Entry skills/knowledge: Students will have knowledge of tallies and tally charts.

Conditions and Constraints: Students will need peaceful and engaging environment

with plenty of time to transfer data from tally chart into a pictograph. Students will need

to have individual computers for the second session of the lesson plan.

Learner Analysis: The learners are second or third grade students. They should have a

solid knowledge of tallies and tally chart. At the same time, students need to be able to

listen and participate through two forty-five minute lectures.
