During my student teaching I taught in
a socioeconomically and culturally diverse elementary school in San Francisco, CA. While there I developed and implemented a
variety of lessons spanning across all content areas. They are differentiated for students with varying abilities, those with learning differences and English Language Learners. Many of the lessons integrated mathematics, language arts, social studies and art. Below you will find links to some of the units and lessons I created, planned and implemented while teaching first grade. Enjoy!
Collages Inspired by Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar
After
reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle students discussed
the character and plot of the story. We talked about what they noticed
about the caterpillar and how it changes throughout the story. The
students then created their own character, gave it a name, imagined what
the character would look like and created a collage in the style of
Eric Carle's artwork.
Journey Around Our World- Three Week Integrative Unit
Three
week community-based integrative unit based on the cultural backgrounds
of the students in my class, as well the two other first grade classes.
Activities included virtual field trips, journal writing, postcard
writing, observing and measuring weather events, creating a
comprehensive display about the cultural make-up of the entire first
grade.
