Instructional Lesson Methods and Assessment:

Anticipatory Set: During this time student will be on the rug. I will begin by reviewing the concepts they have been learning this week. The number 2, the letter C and the color yellow. We will explore and talk about this and assess prior knowledge.

 I will talk about what sound the letter C makes. I will talk about the names in the class that begin with C. I will then read a book about the letter C, There’s a nightmare in my closet. I will have the students raise/wave their hands every time they hear the letter C.

Next we will talk about yellow. I will have the students name things that are yellow, inside and outside. We will then read the yellow book.

We will then discuss the number two, we will practice writing what it looks like and looking at 2 objects.  We will then do a short review of what we learned.

The assessment will be a handout, the students will identify the color, letter and number of the week.

Handout for Play dough activity

Introduce and Model New Knowledge:

To introduce the concept of the lesson, I would assess prior knowledge. This is a skill they have been working on this week. Some children will need extra review because of missing days this week.

Guided Practice:

 The students will go back to their tables to do a hands on activity. For the activity they will have a number/ letter sheet. They will make their numbers and letters out of play dough. I will demonstrate this before we start, before going to tables. Each student will have a handout and a bag of play dough to do the activity.

Recognition “What” Multiple means of Representation	Strategic “How” Multiple means of Action and Expression	Affective “Why” Multiple means of Engagement
Activate Background Knowledge- I will do this by reviewing the concepts. We would review the letter, C, number 2, and the color yellow. If I notice some students need more help, I would help them and review more one on one.	Provide varied ways to Respond- students would be able to respond in a variety of ways- they could use their state their response verbally or give examples they see in the classroom. Each student will know what is expected of them and what is expected during the table activity.	Vary Levels of Challenge and Support- The students will be given the opportunity to have help from a teacher or peer if they do not understand the assignment/lesson. The students would be encouraged to work at their own pace and encouraged to do accurate work.
Define Vocabulary and symbols: We will talk about the 3 parts of the lesson, C,2, and yellow.	Integrate assistive technology- The students be able to use technology if necessary- they can watch a YouTube video about colors, letters or numbers if necessary.	Foster Collaboration and Communication- students will be able to work in table and small groups. They will also communicate with the teacher and have help when needed.

Wrap Up:

We would come together as a class. Back to the rug. We would review and the students would have an opportunity to ask questions.

We would then watch a song about the color yellow and letter C on YouTube.

Assessment:

For the assessment, I will have a checklist to be sure the students are understanding the assignment. The student would point to the appropriate picture/ letter

Adaptations and Modifications:

This lesson could be modified in many ways. Some children will need more help than others. This is a preschool classroom for children with special needs. Some students may not understand the lesson, but I will do my best to work with them individually. If some of the children have behavioral problems they could work individually more and there will be other teachers in the room that may be able to assist the child.
