2Assignment 3B

Title; Money

Author; Andriana Delgado

Grade Level; 2nd

Time frame; Three Weeks

Goals; This lesson plan will fulfill the Mathematics aspect of the curriculum.

State-adopted Academic Content Standards for Students

Number Sense

5.0 Students model and solve problems by representing, adding, and subtracting amounts

of money.

5.1 Solve problems using combinations of coins and bills

Mathematical Reasoning

1.0 Students make decisions about how to set up a problem.

1.2 Use tools, such as manipulative or sketches, to model problems

Class Goals

The class will learn to identify and describe coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollar)

and bills (one and five dollar) They will learn to add two or more coins of different values, and

Identify multiple ways to show a specific amount

Materials and Resources

3Assignment 3B

Technology Resources

• Internet pictures (Banks, using money for purchases)

• Projector

Materials

• Plastic and paper manipulates

• Pens, pencils, paper

• Plastic Coins

Activities

Week 1 will be used to identify and describe the materials in the box. Students will Identify and

describe coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollar) and bills (one and five dollar). To

assure that the students meet the State-adopted Academic Content Standards they will learn to

use the materials to demonstrate the sum of given amounts during weeks 2 and 3. During weeks

2 and 3 the students will be assessed on their abilities to solve problems by representing, adding,

and subtracting amounts of money, and solve problems using combinations of coins and bills.

Assessments

An informal assessment will be used during the math lessons. Informal assessment is a

procedure for obtaining information that can be used to make judgments about children's

learning behavior and characteristics or programs using means other than standardized

instruments. I can Interview the student by asking them questions, this allows the student to

explain behavior, work samples, or particular answers. Asking questions at all levels of Bloom's

4Assignment 3B

taxonomy allows me to gain insight into the students learning. This will allow me to adjust the

lesson so that they student may better understand it.

I will use the manipulates 2-3 times per week throughout the 3-week unit by

incorporating them into the daily math lesson plan. The lessons would be created so that each

day the lesson plan will begin with the previous days lesson. We will build upon each days

lesson by introducing new relevant material. For example, while teaching the value of coin

money, I can give them the various descriptions or questions and ask them to identify the various

types coinage and its value. The practices can be adapted for other lessons in this unit. The

lessons will be created so that the students will learn identify and describe coins (pennies,

nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollar) and bills (one and five dollar) Once the manipultes can be

used properly the students can then add two or more coins of different values. Once the students

have successfully completed these tasks we can then move onto using coins and bills or sketches

to model addition of two amounts. This will be done to comply with the State-adopted

Academic Content Standards for Students.

Title; Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Author; Andriana Delgado

Grade Level; 2nd

Time frame; One month on Fridays for an hour each week

Goals; This lesson plan will fulfill the Life Science aspect of the curriculum.

5Assignment 3B

Life Science; Students know the sequential stages of life cycles are different for different

animals, such as butterflies, frogs, and mice.

Compare and sort common objects according to two or more physical attributes (e.g.,

color, shape, texture, size, weight).

Write or draw descriptions of a sequence of steps, events, and observations.

Construct bar graphs to record data, using appropriately labeled axes.

Use magnifiers or microscopes to observe and draw descriptions of small objects or small

features of objects.

Follow oral instructions for a scientific investigation.

Goals

This class project will take place over the Couse of a month. We will work on it for an hour each

Friday. I will specifically be using the SDAIE approach to teach this lesson. This project will

help children with a visual of a Painted Lady Butterfly life Cycles. We will begin by discussing

the Life cycle and eventually bring in real life specimen. The class will learn all four stages of

development with the use of manipulates, handouts, visuals, and videos.

Materials

The Very Hungry Caterpillar By Eric Carle

Paper/ Construction paper

Pens, pencils

Scissors and glue

Painted Lady Caterpillars from Carolina Biological at 1-800-227-1150

Activities

Students will create a weekly journal. Students will begin by doing a 5 minute timed entry to

write what they previously know about butterflies and their life cycles. During the discussion I

will periodically be asking the students to write things in their journals; observations, definitions

and other work. At the end of each days lesson they will have an untimed period to write what

they have learned during that class period. The journals will then be turned in for grading.

Assessments

The assessments will be done based on the students overall work in their journals, life cycle chart

and class participation. On the final day students will be tested on the overall knowledge from

the last months of work. They will label and draw the life cycle of a painted lady butterfly as

well as answer other questions

First Friday

On the first day of the lesson plan I will introduce the lesson plan with an outline of the weeks to

come, with learning outcomes and class expectations. On this first day we will have an active

7Assignment 3B

group discussion on what we already know about butterflies, where they live, what do you think

they eat, what are butterflies. After the discussion we will talk about butterflies their habitats and

parts of a butterfly. With what time is still available we will use the projector to view pictures of

butterflies.

Second Friday

On this day we will create a butterfly life cycles. And discuss each piece of the development.

Before we make the project I will give a step by step presentation on how to create the project. I

will also have an example on the front board of the classroom as an example for the students.

They may freely come up to look at the project. I will then surprise the class with real Painted

Lady Caterpillars. We will then watch the video on caring for these creatures. a movie on a topic

related to the lesson to help connect instruction to real-life situations. Video can be used for

content presentation and as material for class activities or homework (such as for writing an

essay, discussing an issue, or solving a problem). (Ryan 52) We will then make observations on

what we see in our journals using descriptive wording. We can do this as a class discussion. I

can write down on the board the connections, and examples the children have learned. Having a

list of words and descriptive words or a word bank on the board can be used to assist the students

in their journal entries.

Definitions and facts to learn

The larva stage lasts about 4 weeks.

They eat thistles, malva leaves, nettles and sunflowers.

8Assignment 3B

The caterpillar's body has thirteen body segments.

They have eight pairs of legs, 3 pars nearest to the head will become the adult legs.

Third Friday

We will begin the class discussing what change has happened over the week. Then we will

watch the video of the time lapse of the butterflies’ development. We will then discuss what has

happened and what will expect in the next week.

Definitions and Facts

Pupa or Chrysalis

Molts all but 3 pairs of legs

Crawls to a safe place and hangs upside down and spins thread to attach itself.

9Assignment 3B

Skin splits and hardens to create the chrysalis.

It takes between 7 to 10 days to reemerge.

Last Friday

What has happened? Group discussions, with group observations. Last day quiz and class

discussion. Read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The final east will be a combination of

definitions and facts. I will create a story map. So not only are they tested on facts, but they will

also have to create a time based story of events for our Painted Lady Butterflies.

Definitions and Facts

It takes the butterfly 24 hours for the wings to harden and dry.

It’s the veins in the wings that give them strength.

Annotation

When focusing my lesson plans I wanted to be able to incorporate the SDAIE approach,

so that I could cater to all of my learners. The SDAIE approach or Specially Designed Academic

Instruction in English is a specific approach to teaching students that are learning English. While

this approach benefits English Learners it also benefits all learners in different ranges of abilities.

With staying with the SDAIE approach it is very important to continue to speak in English

during instruction. Teachers need to speak slowly and articulate each word so that it can be herd

10Assignment 3B

correctly and in proper context. The lesson that I have created is relevant, interesting with

coherent material and is student-centered learning; prior knowledge; contextualized instruction;

cooperative learn (Ryan 145)

In this lesson plans that I have created I tried to tie in as many of the strategies that I

could with in the time period that I allowed myself. I incorporated Modeling by giving the

students a demonstration of the work and giving clear examples that will be kept in the front of

the classroom on the wall. I will be bridging each weeks lesson to build on properly learned

knowledge. We will also create a word bank that we can add to each week in preparation for the

final quiz.

As we have previously learned all children learn differently and have their own way of

learning. An instructional tool is anything that facilitates teaching and learning. We know that

forks or chopsticks are tools for eating. A book, a handout with a text, a felt-tip marker, a

transparency, a computer, and software program are all examples of instructional tools. (Ryan

74-75) To accommodate these learners I have tried to adapt many different ways and styles of

learning including, visuals, audio video, pictures, art work, word banks, demonstrations and

examples. I am also using group lectures as well as group work. As mentioned before Anabel

enjoys doing group work. Not only does she enjoy it but it also gives her the opportunity to

work on her English language skills. Even though she is shy I as a teacher could place her in a

group with a child that I feel she is comfortable with. This will help her feel at ease to practice

her English skills.
