Begin the class with the unit pre-assessment. Have the interactive calendar pull up on the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) and call students up to the front of the classroom to complete the activity that will be presented. Questions that the calendar will provide will include “What is today’s date?” and “What day of the week is today?” If the students need help with these questions, ask the rest of the class to become involved.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">2. **Anticipatory Set:** Transition the class so that students are ready to hear a story and read- aloud the book entitled “Days of the Week” by Jilly Attwood <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">- After finishing the read-aloud teacher will pose discussion questions: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">1. How many days are in the week? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">2. Someone tell me about something they do on Mondays. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">3. What days are the weekends? What is something that you do on the weekends? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">(ESOL strategy- with a read-aloud and discussion of quality children's literature ELL students are given the opportunity to interact with text and hear the concept of calendars being presented in a fresh and different way.)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Goals and Objectives:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> "Today will be learning about the days of the week and calendars. After today we as a class will be able to recall the order of the days of the week and interact with our calendar."

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Input:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">3. Make sure that there is a calendar up on the IWB for all students to see. Make them count with you to introduce how many days are in the week. Explain to students that each day has a name and speak about the order of each day in the week.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Check for Understanding:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">4. Now it is time for a fun and brief interactive game with the students. Give out seven large cards with each day of the week clearly labeled on one of the seven papers. Have seven students hold up the cards and ask the class to help you put each day of the week in order. Slowly but surly the students holding the days of the week (they will be standing in the front of the class) will be arranged properly. (ESOL strategy- group interaction to complete a task, students will work together with classmates to help reinforce what students are learning about the days of the week)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Model:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">5. The flip chart (or the on-going assessment) will now be introduced to the students. The teacher needs to explain that this flip book will follow them each day during this unit and they will be working on it as they learn more about calendars, weather and seasons. Monday (the first flap) will be modeled to the class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Guided Practice:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Hold up the flip book and tell the students that they will be labeling Monday on the first flap. If time permits have a student come to the IWB and write out to word "Monday."

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Independent Practice:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Have students write on their own flip-book "Monday"(ESOL strategy- visual aids).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">6. To end this lesson and review what had just been taught on calendars and days of the week show the video/ song at this link: [] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">As the song plays start singing along with the video and encourage the whole class to be involved. By the end of the video hopefully the students will be singing the song on their own because it is so catchy. (Song/video is an ESOL strategy- presenting information visually and linguistically different to students) ||

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Objective/Purpose:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">"Today, we are going to find out how weather affects what we wear.”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Procedure**: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Input:**
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The Teacher will display “Weather Wear” chart on the IWB. The teacher will have different categories of clothing items on the top of the chart going horizontal, such as shorts, skirts/dresses, jackets, rain boots, jeans/pants, long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher will discuss the clothing items that are on the chart. The students will then think about all the categories of clothing items on the chart.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher will have the students come up one at a time and place a marker under the clothing item(s) that they are wearing.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher and students begin a discussion on the results of the chart. What clothing items did most of the students where today? What clothing items did the least of the students where today? What clothing items were not worn by anyone in class today?
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher asks, “What weather did we say were are having outside today?”. The students respond. The teacher asks, “How does this weather affect how we dressed today?”. The students respond.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher probes to get the students to make the connection that the weather helps us choose what we wear on a daily basis.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher starts a discussion on what we would wear for each types of weather, such as sunny, rainy, windy, cold, snowy, and cloudy.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher discusses that different seasons have different types of weather. The teacher explains the four seasons that are as follows: summer, fall, winter, and spring.
 * 8) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher explains that winter is known for cold or snowy weather. The teacher needs to explain that here, in Florida, we usually do not get snowy weather, but it is still very cold sometimes. In summer, the weather is very hot and rainy. In spring, the weather is sunny. In fall, the weather starts to cool down. Fall is the transition from summer into winter.
 * 9) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher displays pictures of each season on the IWB.
 * 10) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher begins a discussion on how the seasons would affect what we wear. What clothing items would you wear in winter? In summer?
 * 11) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher tells the students to get out their flipbooks again. The students circle the season that we are in that is displayed on the worksheet pasted in the flipbook.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Modeling:**
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher passes out “What are you wearing today?” worksheet. The teacher explains to the students that they need to draw what they are wearing today on the body in the picture.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Check for Understanding:**
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Then the students need to write what kind of weather it is today.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Remind students to remember to write their name on the worksheet! (Give students time to complete worksheet)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Independent Practice:**
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher walks around monitoring the students as they complete the worksheet. The teacher is there for further help if needed.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> The teacher will collect the worksheets.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Conclusion:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">“Great job today class! Today we discussed how weather affects what we wear every day. We also discussed the four seasons and the weather that is in those seasons. Can anyone tell me the names of the four seasons? (Wait for student response). Great! Tomorrow we will discuss how weather can be dangerous and some ways to keep safe. We will also do an awesome science activity! || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">This resource was used to find an appropriate science lesson. I found the lesson called “Weather Wear”. I described this lesson and how it would be effective in the classroom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Discussion Notes: For an extension to this plan, the teacher can do another weather wear chart in a different time of year. To make the students see the difference, do the chart during winter and spring. Then, after the second time doing the chart, you can compare and contrast charts with the class. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">//Parent involvement:// Before teaching this lesson, have parents volunteer to make flip charts for each student in the classroom. Have them make a couple extra just in case.

Teacher will begin by explaining that in Florida there are a lot of thunderstorms in the summer time. A thunderstorm consists of: thunder, lightning, and rain. **// On the interactive white board have a picture of a thunderstorm, while pointing to different characteristics that classify it as a thunderstorm //**//. // Explain to students that during a thunderstorm the lights might go out which can limit access to many things such as lights, refrigerator, microwaves, water, and air conditioning. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Explain that a hurricane includes many of the same characteristics as a thunderstorm but it also includes STRONG WINDS. A tornado is wind and rain that is forced together in a funnel shape. //Demonstrate funnel shape with bottle of water.// Emphasize lack of electricity during these types of storms as well. **// Interactive white board now has a picture of a thunderstorm, hurricane, and tornado. //** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Ask students “What kind of supplies would you need during a really bad storm?” Prompt students with items such as water, batteries, flash light, canned food, etc. while holding these materials up in front of the class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Modeling**//:// While students are still seated in front of the mat, explain to them that they will be completing a wind activity today. The activity will show them how strong winds in a severe storm can create a lot of damage and move a lot of things from where they belong. Have students return to their seats (which are placed in groups of 4).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">**Guided Practice:** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Ask Students: What made the objects move?

 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Ask: How can we move these things without touching them?
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Pass out one set of objects, a student graph, and one crayon per table.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Tell students to take turn doing this activity. To begin, one student from the table will place an object on the starting line and blow at the object until it crosses the finish line. As the student is blowing the object, the other students at the table will count the number of blows it takes to cross the fnish line.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Have students record the number of blows it takes for each object to cross the finish line by coloring in the corresponding number of blocks on the graph.
