SAMPLE LESSONS Morning vs. Night ELA: Identifies objects/pictures

in a book, listen to a variety of narrative text, answer simple questions about the story PE6 XVI P2 6. PE6 XVI B5 9. PE XVI B5 9. & PE1 I E 11.

LOOK AT YOUR LESSONS DIFFERENTLY-THEY ARE FULL FILLING GLCE’S…TAKE A LOOK Read a story and use

pictures to ask if a story happened during the day/night or inside/outside Show one related and

one unrelated and ask…”What was the story about?”

Did you know that asking a student to locate the bathroom/lunch room is Algebra…finding an unknown!

We read a story about snowmen and added some math and language by counting buttons and using our spatial directions to wrap our snowmen(girls).

Butterflies

Hand out: Butterfly thematic Unit/Lessons

Read: Butterfly Book as an activity:

EGLCE: Identify books and/or other sources of information: respond to a science related question by eye gaze, touching, vocalizing

SMOOTHIE FUN

EGLCE: Math: Identify which of 2

choices is needed to answer a question/solve problem. What do we use to stir? A cup or spoon?

Differentiate between warm and cold

POGO ART / USE BUTTERFLY PATTERN

EGLCE: ELA Create personal
