Lesson Plan Description

This bundle of lessons can take multiple days!

In the literary lessons, students will:

Segment 1: Participate in shared reading in order to distinguish between –at and –it word families and make a t-chart to sort words.
Segment 2: Identify characters in the story and discuss how the character of Chrysanthemum changes throughout the story and make personal connections to the character.
Segment 3: Follow teacher directions and use geometric shapes to create a drawing of the character Chrysanthemum as well as illustrate their personal connections.

Math:

This bundle of lesson plans is broken down into 4 separate segments (30-60 minutes each) addressing: Measurement & Data, Numbers in Base Ten, and Operations and Algebra (1.MD.C.4, 1.NBT.3, 1.OA.A.1). These lessons include: categorizing based on number values, comparing numbers using <, >, =, adding and subtracting using mental math, and solving addition word problems.

Segment 1: students will draw a chrysanthemum flower and write their name above it.
Segment 2: students will count letters in their names, categorize their name based on that number, and analyze data determining which names have more letters, less letters, or the same number of letters.
Segment 3: students will add and subtract using mental math strategies and solve addition word problems using addition strategies.
Segment 4: students will add and subtract using mental math strategies while playing the game “Steal the Bacon”. These lessons can be taught over the span of a half day or you can use the lessons independently, broken up over several days.
