Analyze Learners
I am going to be teaching the months of the year to a 1st grade. This is a special ed class
with 10 boys and 7 girls. The students are 70% white, 20% African- American, and 10%
Hispanic. Seven students in the class have mild to severe ADHD.
State Objectives
My students will be able to recite the months of the year, after teaching them the
chronological order of the months, showing them the seasons that relate to each month and
after having them sing songs about the months. By the end of the week there will be 85%
accuracy.
Select Methods, Media, and Materials
All of the materials needed for this lesson will be a computer, art crafts (such as leaves
from outside, construction paper, etc), calendar, playground, and a CD player. I will have songs
about the months of the year so that the children with ADHD have time to take a break and
move around to the music.
Utilize Media and Materials
Preview the Materials: The first step of the lesson will be introducing the
months on a calendar. I will relate each month to a holiday or get the students
involved and ask them the month their birthday is in.
Prepare the Material: In order to be prepared I will have the games set up for
the children to do that relate to the months. They will be laminated. In the CD
player I will have the song, Ready…..March set up, to test their knowledge and
get them moving.
Prepare the Environment: The classroom will be decorated with different types
of calendars spread throughout the room showing each month.
Prepare the Learners: I will prepare the students by having each student’s
birthday on the board and have them get in order by their birthday month to
get them familiar with the different months.
Provide a Learning Experience: I will have creative activities that require
movement throughout the room that get the students involved.
Require Learner Participation
2. The students will be encouraged to raise their hands and ask questions. The songs will
require everyone to sing along and the students will be required to play games to assess what
they have learned.
Evaluate and Revise
The students will be evaluated on how well they can put the months in order.
