This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 1st grade students about the months of the year and holidays. It notes that 7 of the 17 students have ADHD. The lesson will use a calendar and magnets with student names to teach months and holidays. Students will place their name on their birth month and holidays. A worksheet will be sent home to learn more from family. The goal is for students to understand months and holidays with 90% accuracy.

1. ASSURE
A- My class is a 1st grade classroom, 7 out of the 17 children have mild to severe ADHD.
There are 10 boys and 7 girls, 70% white, 20% African-American, and 10% Hispanic.
My classroom is in a very diverse community. These children love to learn by visual
examples.
S- After this lesson my students will have a developed a clear understanding of the twelve
months on the calendar along with different variations of holidays in the months.
Although 7 students have ADHD I will keep them focused by keeping the whole class
involved in the conversation, and making sure they are active in the discussion. By the
end of the day the students will have 90% accuracy of the concept.
S- During this lesson I will use a calendar attached to the white board, and magnets with the
student’s name and different holidays. Students will put their name on which month they
were born in and a holiday in which month it takes place. If a holiday is not available
already to them I will have them tell me which holiday it is and which month it takes
place.
U- Before I do this lesson I will double check to see if I have every name written out, all
twelve months ready, and the well-known holidays to the students ready.
R- I will hand out a worksheet to take home for the students to ask their family members, bus
drivers, neighbors, and etc. important holidays to them or their birthdays and which
month it is in. We will share this in class the next day, and then go over the months again
as practiced.
E-Before this lesson I will make sure my students are ready for this concept. I know what
level of learning they are all at and maturity level. During this lesson I will make sure my
students, especially those with ADHD are staying interested. I will keep asking questions
and focus on the months, but I will also make sure they are having a ton of fun with it.
The day after the lesson when going over the worksheet I will asset to see if the
information was well taught. I will have the children present what they have come up
with.
