Introduction to teaching Months of the Year
Assure: - 10 boys and 7 girls
- Ages 7-8
- 7 students have mild to severe ADHD
- 70% white students, 20% African American students, 10% Hispanic students
State Objectives: First grade students will be able to identify each month of the year. A
group activity will allow students to actively communicate, teach and learn from each other.
Students will be allowed to use the knowledge of his or her group partner. Students will be
placed in 8 groups of 2 with one group having 3 students. The time limit for the students is 15
minutes.
Select Media and Materials: Students will watch a 2 minute video of a song singing the
months of the year.

2. Utilize Media and Materials: The video will help the students remember the months of the
year while also getting them excited to learn about the holidays. After video, students will be
put into groups and they will be given 1 empty calendar. Each group will also be given large
print out words that contain each month of the year. Students will then arrange the months in
correct order.
Require Learner Performance: Students will participate together by making their own
calendar. Once they have placed the calendar together they will color each month by season
color schemes and they will write their name on their birthday month.
Evaluate and revise: Students will verbally go over the video with the teacher. When they work
on their calendars they will be visually examined on their work, communication and
participation.
