CCLS/ +NYS English Language Arts Standard (CCSS): Speaking and Listening: Comprehension and Collaboration Students will, with guidance and support, confirm understanding of a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media by asking and answering questions about key details and requesting clarification if something is not understood.

LISTENING COMPREHENSION LESSON #1 English Language Arts Standard (CCSS): Speaking and Listening: Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas Students will add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions as desired to provide additional detail. Students will demonstrate an emergent ability to express thoughts, feelings and ideas. Indicator: This will be evident when students draw pictures of at least four objects found in their own bedrooms. Engaging the Learners The teacher will begin by gathering the students together in the story-time area of the classroom. She will then inquire about her students nighttime routines, asking them each to provide examples of things they do in the evening before they go to bed. Then, the teacher will have the students verbally give examples of people they say goodnight to every night before going to bed. Materials One copy of Goodnight Moon Construction paper Crayons Learning Strategies Group Discussion: This will be evident when the whole class participates in a discussion about what objects are found in the protagonists bedroom in Goodnight Moon.

LISTENING COMPREHENSION LESSON #1 Independent Work: This will be evident when each student completes a drawing of at least four objects that can be found in his or her bedroom. Exceptionality Each line of text from Goodnight Moon read in English will have an accompanying line of text read in the native language of the student who is an English language learner so that the student will have a more comprehensive understanding of the story. Differentiation of Instruction Tier 1: Given a list of typical objects found in bedrooms, students will draw a picture of at least four objects found in their own bedrooms. Tier 2: Students will draw a picture of at least four objects found in their own bedrooms. Tier 3: Students will draw a picture of at least four objects found in their own bedrooms and label each object. Developmental Procedures Students will participate in a whole class discussion of their nighttime routines. (What do you do every night before you go to sleep? Do you brush your teeth? Do you put on your pajamas? Do you read a story?) Students will participate in a whole class discussion of who they say goodnight to before they go to sleep.

LISTENING COMPREHENSION LESSON #1 (Who do you say goodnight to before you go to sleep? Do you say goodnight to your mommy and/or daddy? Do you have any brothers or sisters that you say goodnight to? Any pets?) Students will identify objects found in the protagonists bedroom in Goodnight Moon. (What are some things that the bunny says goodnight to in the story? Do you have any of the same things in your bedroom?) Students will draw pictures of objects that can be found in their own bedrooms. (Imagine your own bedroom. Draw a picture of at least four things that you can find in your bedroom. Do you have a favorite?) Artifacts and Assessment Students will each identify at least one object from the bedroom depicted in Goodnight Moon. Students will each draw a picture of objects found in their own rooms with at least four objects depicted. Independent Practice Following the lesson, students will each present their drawings to the class, identifying each bedroom object they have depicted. Follow-up: Direct Teacher Intervention and Academic Enrichment Direct Teacher Intervention: The teacher will work independently with the student who has difficulty identifying objects from the bedroom in the story. The student will watch a cartoon version of Goodnight Moon. Then, the teacher and the student will discuss different objects found in the bedroom depicted in the cartoon. The student will then work one on one with the

LISTENING COMPREHENSION LESSON #1 student on an interactive video game (JumpStart Kindergarten) that reviews listening comprehension by having the student take events in a story and put them in chronological order. Academic Enrichment: The students in need of academic enrichment will write a brief poem about their favorite object from their bedroom and present it to the class the following day.
