    Carrier Unit, Day 4


    Teachers Name:
    Ms. Moller

    Group setting (whole, small, individual):

    Whole

    Lesson Date
    October 5 - October 9, 2015

    Student Grade level:


    Kindergarten


    Informal/formal preassessment:

    Read Community Helpers: Mail Carriers by Dee Ready to continue informing the students about mail
    carriers. This is our last day of the unit so we need to tie back together all of the information and letter
    writing we have done back to our community helper of the week: mail carriers.

    Common Core Standards addressed (include code and standard description):

    ELAGSEKSL2: Confirm understanding of written texts read aloud or information presented orally or
    through media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if
    something is not understood.
    MGSEK.MD.2: Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which
    object has more of/less of the attribute, and describe the difference.
    MGSEK.MD.3: Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and
    sort the categories by count.
    SSKE1: The student will describe the work that people do (police officer, fire fighter, soldier, mail carrier,
    baker, farmer, doctor, and teacher).

    Central Focus of the lesson:

    The central focus of this lesson is to continue learning about this weeks community helper: mail
    carriers. It is also to practice sorting objects with colors.

    Learning Objectives (The student will be able to):

    The students will be able to sort objects based on their color.

    Procedures (What will the teacher do? What will the students do?):
    1. Read Community Helpers: Mail Carriers by Dee Ready to continue informing the students about
    mail carriers.
    2. Ask the students: How are mail carriers and writing letters related?
    3. Get out the letters the students wrote to each other the day before.
    4. They will pick their letter they wrote yesterday and sort it into the correct mailbox based on the
    corresponding paper color/mailbox color. The mailboxes will also have the name of the color so
    the students can also practice reading color popcorn words.
    5. Once all of letters have been sorted, one-by-one, have the students take turns being the
    mailman. They will have a special mail hat that they will put on when it is their turn.

    6. The mailman will pick one letter out of the mailbox, read who it is addressed to, and deliver the
    mail.
    7. The students will sit quietly at their table while their mail is getting delivered.
    8. Throughout the day, conduct a summative assessment to see how the students understood the
    content of this weeks unit. What does a mailman do? How do you start a letter? Where do you
    go to send letters?

    Formal /informal assessments within lesson to monitor student progress

    While the students are working today, call the students over one-by-one and conduct a summative
    assessment. Ask them questions about what a mail carrier does. How do we start a letter? And where
    do you put the mail in order for it to be sent? From here, plan a reengagement activity in case some of
    the students did not fully understand the content taught while learning about writing letters/mail
    carriers.

    Materials:
    Community Helpers: Mail Carriers by Dee Ready
    Letters from the day before
    4 mailboxes that correspond with the table colors

    How are students everyday experiences and/or cultural experience evident in instructional choices?

    Since we are learning about community helpers, we are learning about jobs that we see around our
    community. The students will be able to connect what they are learning in the classroom to the outside
    world. In this case, students are learning how and why letters are written to one another. They are
    simulating what happens in the real world.

    Differentiation/Planned accommodations:

    Have an adult watch the process closely. Some of the students may get confused with the concept so as
    the teacher, it is important that we watch the activity closely. We can also write the name of the color
    on either the letter or the mailbox (or both) if it is easier for a student to identify based on the name of
    the color instead of the color itself.
