Objectives Set #1

  1. They should be able to recognize the sounds all of the letters make when people say them out loud.
  2. By the end of the lesson, students will understand some sounds that letters make but not all of them because that would be way too much.
  3. I’ll teach students the sounds that the letters A, B, C, D make, or at least that’s where we’ll start.
  4. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT identify the sounds the letters A-E make by correctly holding the letters up when heard.

  1. Students will comprehend the story in our read aloud group.

  3. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT retell the story’s plot by using Cuisenaire rods and describing 6/8 of the key elements of the plot.
  4. I will read my students a story and they will listen to it attentively.

Objectives Set #3

  1. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to write 8 sentences with subordinate clauses: 4 that need a comma & 4 that don’t.  
  2. I am going to really focus on punctuation so that students will be able to punctuate sentences correctly, something they really need.
  3. By the time this lesson is over, students will be able to use commas correctly when writing sentences in English.
  4. By the end of the lesson, students will get the gist of comma usage when using subordinate clauses (e.g. after lunch, we sleep).

Objectives Set #4

  1. By the end of the lesson, students will know fractions, percents, and decimals in terms of what they are, what they do, and how we can use them in every day life.
  2. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to show equivalent values in fractions and percents when asking, “what the equivalent of (¼) in (%)?” and answering, “It’s equivalent is (25% percent).“
  3. I’ll take students through this lesson on relationships in math and how they are represented and exactly what they should mean.
  4. By the end of the lesson, students will read pages 73-76 and do the even math numbered problems on page 79, Part B. 

Objectives Set #5

  1. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate ability to rhyme words with cat, lake, mouse, man, pig, bug, log, by asking "what rhymes with ___" and answering "_____ rhymes with ______".
  2. ​It's my goal to make sure that students will absolutely know that some words rhyme with other words by the end of this lesson.
  3. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT recognize words that rhyme during our language arts lesson and that it's important to know what rhyming is and why it matters.
  4. I will show students the rhyming words with cat, lake, mouse, man, pig, bug, and log which should be enough since they are so young.
