Student-Friendly Standards

I can explain what it means to care for something or someone. I can tell how I can show that I care.

E. Procedure:1. TW have students imagine a world without rules and a world without respect. What

would be different? Why is it important to have rules and respect?

2. TW have students look at the pictures on pages 36-39 and ask how the pictures looklike our classroom or playground. What is the same and what is different?

3. TW review the second lesson in the unit about Family and discuss vocabulary word.4. T&SW read pages 36-39, discussing each page and pictures.5. TW ask students the questions for Lesson Review on pg. 39.6. CLOSURE: Today, we learned about caring about each other and how we can show

we care. SW complete Reading Skill worksheet to turn in.

F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding?

I will use an informal type of assessment and listening to their responses while we are

discussing throughout the reading and the completed worksheet.

Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.The ultimate measure of understanding will be from the reading worksheet, however, a

big emphasis will be placed on the interaction in the classroom during the reading.

G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?

I think opening the lesson will be the easiest because I will simply be asking about

something that the students are already familiar with-rules and respect. I would just

need to provide the right amount of support to probe these students into thinkingabout the importance of caring for one another.

2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?I have always had a bit of trouble going through each page and checking for

comprehension after each page. It seems really choppy whenever I do it in the

classrooms Ive been placed in, but practice makes perfect (close to perfect.)

3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?I would like to use the extension activity that is in the book for this lesson. I would

want to use the We Help Song on page 40 to extend this lesson. The song is a funway for students to grasp the concepts we just discussed by listing different ways

we help at school and at home. I also like the Helping Hands Tree activity, which

would allow for the teacher to check for comprehension, since the students would

have to write one of their helping jobs on their traced hand cut-out and it would

also display student work-double plus!

4. What can you do forstudents who dont grasp the concepts?I would work one-on-one with the students who do not grasp the concepts. I would

ask what the student is having trouble with and then, have the students think about

maybe a different setting that requires respect and caring such as the classroom.

Maybe not every student will have someone that helps them with homework at

night or helps them get ready for school, so I wouldnt be able to use those

examples with every student. I would ask them about sports teams or classmates to

help them think of the concepts in different ways.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?I actually liked the set-up of this lesson, so I couldnt imagine that I would change

anything in the lesson.

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?The most difficult part, hands down, was the wording. I have written lesson plans

before, but I never had to write a lesson based off of a lesson that was already

written (i.e.: write a lesson plan for the lesson that was already written out in the

Teacher Edition book.) There were times where I had to stop and think about how I

would word things for a substitute teacher, for example, so anyone else who was

reading the lesson plan could make sense of it.
