Lesson Content
What Standards (national
or state) relate to this
lesson?
(You should include ALL
applicable standards. Rarely
do teachers use just one:
theyd never get through
them all.)
Objectives- What are you
teaching?
(Student-centered: What will
students know and be able to
do after this lesson? Include
the ABCDs of objectives:
action, behavior, condition,
and degree of mastery, i.e.,
"C: Given a sentence written
in the past or present tense,
A: the student B: will be able
to re-write the sentence in
future tense D: with no errors
in tense or tense contradiction
(i.e., I will see her
yesterday.)."
Note: Degree of mastery does

SC.K.P.8.1 Sort objects by observable properties, such as size, shape, color,

temperature (hot or cold), weight (heavy or light) and texture.

The students will be able to sort objects by shape with no errors in classification.

Evaluation Plan- How will
you know students have
mastered your objectives?
Address the following:

What formative
evidence will you use to
document student learning
during this lesson?

What summative
evidence will you collect,
either during this lesson or
in upcoming lessons?

Step-by-Step Plan
(What exactly do you plan to
do in teaching this lesson? Be
thorough. Act as if you needed
a substitute to carry out the
lesson for you.)

While the students are working on cooperatively sorting foam shapes, I will walk
around and actively monitor student's progress, noting where assistance is
needed.
Additionally, the students will do a cut and paste activity to put in their science
journal, which will be used to assess mastery.

their like groups. The teacher will walk around the classroom
and actively monitor the students and provide assistance
where needed.
Activity 2: The teacher will have the students get out their
science journals and turn to a fresh page and write the date on
it. Then the teacher will model how to divide the page into four
quadrants and label them. Then the teacher will pass out a
sheet with four different shapes on them and instruct the
students to cut out the shapes and paste them in the
corresponding quadrants. Again, the teacher will walk around
the classroom and actively monitor the students and provide
assistance where needed.

This lesson opens with a read aloud because the students tend to be really
engaged and seem to enjoy read alouds. Additionally, the students are given
additional support by using manipulatives to be able to not only see the shapes,
but feel them as well.

Differentiationbased on
the needs of your students
how will you take
individual and group
learning differences into
account.

There are a couple of students who have difficulty with letter identification, so the
teacher will model the words for the labels and leave them displayed for the final
activity. Additionally, the teacher will provide additional support for students who
need it.

Relevant Psychological
Theories and research
taken in consideration
when planning this lesson

This lesson plan takes cooperative learning into consideration. Research shows
that cooperative learning yields higher-level reasoning, creative thinking, and long
term retention of information.
