The Colorful Classroom

** 1. Preplanning ** Lesson Objective: Given a BookBuilder written by our class, the student will correctly identify the colors (blue, yellow, green, red, purple) listed in the story at 100% accuracy.

Goals/Standards: 4K Good Start, Grow Smart Standards ELA-4K-5.4 Contribute to small group or whole class stories, rhymes or poems. ELA-4K-3.10 Create words by orally adding, deleting, or changing sounds in response to adult prompt. M-4K-1.5 Classify objects in their environment by color, shape, size or function.

Materials/Technology: SMARTBoard BookBuilder Book- The Colorful Classroom (#[|43926]) Color Flash Cards (blue, yellow, green, red, purple) Colored bears (blue, yellow, green, red, purple) Colored bowls (blue, yellow, green, red, purple) Dice

** 2. Set Up ** Anticipatory Set/Multiple Means of Engagement Getting Attention- This lesson will be presented during Circle Time during the afternoon group time. It will be presented in a whole group setting. “I need everyone to find their color squares on the carpet and look up at me when you are ready.” Expectations- I will review the classroom rules with the students. The teacher will point to each rule on the board as student’s state each rule.

** 3. Lesson Opening ** “Today we are going to read a book that I wrote that you helped create to help us learn and practice our colors. We are going to read through the book “The Colorful Classroom” on the SMARTBoard and then we are going to sort bears that are the same colors from the story into the correct colored bowl.” As I read through the story and students begin to pick up the story pattern, I will have them fill in the ending of the sentence, “on a in a colorful class where everyone is etc.

** 4. Lesson Body ** Multiple Means of Presentation- Model, Lead, Test At this point in the activity I will model- lead- test this for the students. I will read the story for the students and point out each color. I will demonstrate how to do the activity. I will then pull out the bears and colored bowls and model placing the correct color bear into the correct colored bowl. I will have my assistant record which colors each student correctly identifies and places in the bowls.

Procedures: The teacher will: 1. Demonstrate for the students how to grab the colored the teacher asks them to and place it in the corresponding colored bowl. 2. Provide instructional help for students with color concepts.

** 5. Extended Practice ** 1. I will have colored animals and colored bowls set up in the block center with dice all in a box. Students can access the same activity that we did in circle but make it into a game where the roll the dice and whatever number it lands on they will have to get that many of one color and place it in the corresponding colored bowl. 2. Either I or my assistant will play the game with students to practice their knowledge of color and number concept. 3. I will record for each student’s individual work goals (based on their IEP’s) their ability to meet each goal.

** 6. Lesson Closing ** “Everyone did a great job sorting their colors and counting their rainbow skittles today. We learned about the different colors and read a book that we were all in. I hope that you can go home and share the book with your family and friends.”

**7. Evaluation/Multiple Means of Expression** I will offer students who need extra support multiple means of expression. For students who have difficulty with color concepts I will practice sorting and naming the colors of different bears or animals into different bowls and play the Color/Dice game with them. Students will be assessed on their ability to participate in the activity and sort the colors (blue, red, green, yellow, and purple).

(I/P) || Blue (I/P) || Green (I/P) || Yellow (I/P) || Purple (I/P) || *(I/P) - Student will receive an I or a P. I if they independently identify the color correctly, P if they receive a prompt to identify the color.
