The document provides a lesson plan for a kindergarten class reading the book "Young MacDonald" by David Milgrim. The plan includes introducing the book by playing the song "Old McDonald", discussing the cover, reading aloud and having students identify animal combinations in the text. Students will then practice blending onsets and rimes of animal words by creating new animal combinations like "POW" from pig and cow. To conclude, students make their own animal combinations and the teacher assesses understanding.

(5 minutes)
How did Young Macdonald make everything right?
What did we learn about Young MacDonald? (Wait for student
responses). We learned Young Macdonald is a mad-scientist who has no
trouble putting two different animals in one form.
Did you like the story? How is are Young MacDonald and Old
Macdonald alike? How are they different?
Follow-Up Activity
(20 minutes)
I do
We do
You do
On my worksheet on the document camera/smartboard, I have decided to
put a pig and cow together. What sounds does the pig and cow make?
(oink and moo). What is the first sound or onset of the word pig? “P”.
What does the letter P sounds like? What is the rime sound in the word
cow? OW. If we put the onset and rime together, what is it called? A
POW.
As a class, we will review over all the animals to make sure you
understand the sounds of the animal and how the words for all the
animals are spelt.
On the smart board/whiteboard, I will write each spelling and sounds of
the animal.
 Cow-Moo
 Horse-Neigh
 Pig-Oink
 Sheep-Baa
 Duck-Quack
 Dog-Bark
 Chicken-Baak
 Owl-Hoo
 Donkey-Hee
 Geese-Honk
 Mouse-Squeak
 Dog-Arf
 Cat-Meow
 Bird-Chirp
Now I want you boys and girls to go back to your desk and put together
two animals as one form just like Young MacDonald did in the book.
Assessment  Focused on student learning and development outcomes.
 Gathering information by observation, glancing over the work
samples, and testing how they engaging during our read aloud.
