Teacher Name: | Christina Gomba |
Grade: | Kindergarten |
Subject: | Social Studies |
Topic: | Families and Communities |
Content: | Having families and the community work together to fulfill basic needs. |
Goals: | To have the students identify ways to work together to meet basic needs. |

Materials: | BrainPOP.com tumblebooks.com |
Introduction: | We will begin by reading the story: Corduroy Helps Out. |
Development: | We will first talk about different ways that we can help in the community and with our families. We will create a map on the board to go over these different ways. |
Practice: | We will write the following sentence: I can _______ to help the Earth. And we will write down possible things we can do to help the world. |
Accommodations: | Some students will need half of their sentence already started for them, and they will need to end the sentence. Other students may write a sentence about what they can do for their family, and then what they can do for their community. |
Checking For Understanding: | I will observe as they are writing in their journals. Also, their final product will be a good indication of whether they can share what families can do and communities can do to meet basic needs. |
Closure: | On the carpet, the students will have the opportunity to share their sentences with the class. |
Evaluation: | Some students may illustrate the various ways to help out in the community and with their families. We could also have a class discussion on this topic. |
Teacher Reflections: | The story was very motivating, since it was a pop-up book. Next time, I would make the independent practice more motivating. |
