Lesson Learning Goals and Objectives

Instructional Strategies:
Before the Lesson

Target Skills: Reviewing telling time with clocks with movable hands
Procedures:
1. State the learning goal to the students. "Today we are going to work on telling time for the hour and half hour. We will create the
time on our clocks, write the time of clocks and draw the hour and minute hands on clocks."
2. Review telling time with movable clocks.
3. I will give students times to make with the clocks, and they will show me.
4. I will let a few students pick the time for the class to make, and they will all show me the times.
During the Lesson
Part one procedures: (Think-Pair-Share)
1. Model how to do the activity that the students. Show the student the worksheet they will be working on. Students will say a time to
write. The student and the partner will write the time on the blank clock. Then the other partner picks the time to write.
2. Break students up to work on in pairs on the floor with their reading street books to write on, pencils and worksheet.
3. Walk around the room to monitor how students are working together.
4. After working on the worksheet, have students go back to their desks. Call a few partners up to the front of the room to show the
times they wrote.
Part two procedures: (Workbook pages)
1. Go through pages 401, 402, 403 and 404 with students altogether. I will use the Smart Board while students write the
answers in their workbooks. I will call on students for each question.
After the lesson: Restate the objective. Play a quick game of Simon Says, pretending that arms are the minute hands for the
hour or half hour.

Accommodations or Modifications needed for students with disabilities.

For the student with learning disabilities, the aid will work with his group if she is available. Or I will help him as I am going around
during the think-pair-share activity. Also, if he wants to answer any questions during the workbook activities, I will talk him through
how to come up with the answer.
Assessment of Goals and Objectives
This lesson will be assessed based on how the students answer questions verbally during the review, complete their think-pair-share
worksheets and explain their answers during the lesson with the Smart Board and workbook pages and how accurate the students
answer the questions in their workbooks.
