Exploration Topic: Our Community
Essential Question: What is Our Community?
Focus Area: Self
Weekly Focus: Our Feelings
Focused Learning Activity for the Week:
Students will be encouraged to join the teacher in the
writing center. The teacher will prompt
the students to draw an answer to the question, "What do you know about
feelings? How do you know that you are happy? How do you recognize that you are
sad? what made you feel scared?
Students that need extra support: Will be given prompting
answers and asked children recognize feelings and emotions. For example,
"The teacher will sing the song If you are happy, and you know it clap
your hand...?" this song will help children identify some emotions such as
happy. The teacher will show the children the emotions' dolls we have in the
classroom, and they can show children different kind of feelings that people
can feel. These dolls will help children identify the different emotions or
feelings people can feels, and they will help children to demonstrate the way
they feel now, then the teacher will ask How do you feel now? Then children
will show the teacher the doll they feel identified with.
Students that are ready for a challenge: Will be prompted to
use multiple sentences when responding to the question "What made you feel
happy? Children will have the opportunity to explain things that made feel
happy? when they know they feel sad, mad, scared? and why? the teacher will
extend the conversation and will write whatever children say.
ELL Students: Will be
given the directions / questions in Spanish.
Dictation will be written in whichever language they answer.
