Formative assessment will be engaging them in a

discussion before doing their activity to see what they
know and help them gather ideas to use during the
activity.
Summative assessment will be a chart that is made
with every student and I will go around while they are
working on it and see what they are putting in their
seasons book and write it down in the chart. I will also
look at their books to make sure they are
understanding.
Framework for 21st century learning: I will help them
use Building Early 21st century skills through play.
ISTE Standards: Digital citizen, I will have my students
used to using technology and how to appropriately use
it. I will have games (on seasons) on the iPad that
students can play with during free time.
For my student with an absent limb it will be hard for
him to draw and color so my accommodation for him
will be to help him from having the book slide
everywhere. I will have an adjustable clamp to hold his
paper in place so he is easily able to draw and color.
This clamp can be used for many activities that we will
have in the classroom.

Plan

This lesson will cover the standard on the seasonal part and I
will use this lesson after I have taught them about months and
how to read the calendar so they have it fresh in their minds.

Introduction

Activating Prior Knowledge

To activate their prior knowledge, I will ask them about
what they had just learned about the months. From
there I will ask them questions and get them to engage
in a discussion about what happens every few months
with weather changes, falling leaves, etc.

Lesson
Procedure

Hook/Lead-In/Anticipatory Set
I will have a display (like a miniature interactive bulletin
board) with all the months on it so after they explain to
me what they had just learned about months and
calendars I will ask them questions and ask them to help
me finish my empty board. To finish it they will Velcro
the seasons next to the appropriate month in which they
think it belongs.
To get them up and moving after they help me with the
board I will teach them a song about the seasons that
they will sing and dance to.
Big Idea Statement
The students will understand and be able to name all
four seasons and when they occur.
Essential Questions Statement

What happens during each season?
Objective Statement
The students will name all four seasons and use what
they learned in their season books.

birthdays and what seasons it falls in.

I will also assess them by the work and questions that I
will ask while they are filling out their books.
Modeling of the Concept
I will model the concept by having them watch me do an
example and then I will also have a finished product so
that they can see what it will look like when they are
done.
Guiding the Practice
I will help guide the practice by walking around and
looking for things that they may not understand or ask
them if they have any questions about what I had taught
them.
Providing the Independent Practice
The Independent practice will be for them to fill out the
book with what they think should be there.
Transition
I will transition them by having them pick their favorite
season.
