Count-in Spanish Book

Title, Grade, Subject Area, and Time Required- REQUIRED

Title: Count-in Spanish Book
Subject Area: Math
Time Required: 30-45 minutes, one day lesson
Introduction/Overview-REQUIRED
This lesson plan includes math and a little bit of history. I can do this activity during
Hispanic heritage month in where students will create their own count-in Spanish book
with images/photographs of their like and interest. The pictures will be cutted and glued
by the student in order from 1-10. Previous to this activity I would have had a day
discussion/lesson with the whole class in where I would provide information about
Hispanic heritage month, along with fun, educational activities for them to work with. I
can also read a book or show them an educational video. The assessment I would have
is a worksheet in where students have a certain amount of objects+another amount of
objects and they will need to answer how much it equals to. I will keep doing activities
and throughout the year increase the number for them to count to and practice with
higher amounts also.
Learning outcomes-REQUIRED
The outcome of this activity is for the kids to be able to practice and learn counting their
numbers (1-10 or even higher depending how comfortable the kids are) with images
that interest them. They will learn what culture means and, kids will also learn the
definition of certain other vocabulary words.

Curriculum alignment-REQUIRED
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.5

Count to answer "how many?" questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line,
a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration;
given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to
cardinality.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.B.4.A
When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each
object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only
one object.

Materials needed-REQUIRED
10 blank sheets of paper or construction paper
Stapler
Markers
Crayons
Color pencils
Scissors (with different cutting patterns)
Magazines
Old books
Pictures from home
Stickers
Glue (glue sticks and bottle liquid glue)

Technology resources-REQUIRED
The technology needed would be one computer, and one projector to show the
educational video fullscreen to the whole class. Kids will not need any individual
technology for them to use.
In case something goes wrong with the technology that day I will have books I can read
instead.

Websites and APPS- REQUIRED

What the website talks about: Hispanic Heritage Month actually began as National
Hispanic Heritage Week to honor the independence of Hispanic countries from
September 15-18. In 1974, then President Gerald R. Ford proclaimed the week
beginning September 10, 1974, and ending September 16, 1974, as National Hispanic
Heritage Week. In 1989, it became a month-long celebration which we now honor every
year.

What this video talks about: Hispanic Heritage Month is from September 15 to October
15. It is a time to celebrate the histories and cultures of Americans whose families came
from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. It is also a time to
remember the many ways that Hispanic Americans help shape the United States.

Pre-activities-REQUIRED
To be fair with the diversity of the class I would want kids to all say something about
what they know of the word culture and of their own culture at home. Then have a class
discussion about what they know about Hispanic heritage month. Following with the
educational video and then some worksheets. Previous to this I would have also talked
and introduced numbers to them.
Activities-REQUIRED
First, I will inform them of what we were going to do for this activity. Today we are going
to make a count-in Spanish book. I have materials up here in the front table for you
guys to pick from. You are going to look through magazines or books for pictures you
guys like and cut them out to be glued into your book.
I would have all the materials separated and sorted out in a table for the kids to pick
from. I would have a small discussion telling them to be careful using scissors and that
after we were done we would clean after ourselves. I would send them four by four to
pick up the items they want to use to make their count-in Spanish book. After all the
students have gathered all the materials they wanted then they can start looking
through and cutting out pictures. I would walk around to see how they were doing and if
they had any questions or assistance. After we were done with our books we would get
in groups and share our book practicing how to count to ten also. These groups will
rotate for all the kids to be able to share what they've created.

Assessment- REQUIRED
I would test my students with a worksheet like this first to see how they did. After that I
would test them the same way however, this time it would be without the images.

Modifications- RECOMMENDED once you have your own class you would need to
include this information for your students.
In case of students with learning disabilities I will get to know what their best way of
learning and incorporate into the lesson. I will consider and even do research on the
most appropriate ways to teach kids with learning disabilities.
I found this website which I found very informational:
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/learning-disabilities/learning-disabilities-anddisorders.htm
I am bilingual, therefore if that student speaks Spanish I can talk to the student fluently
and they will understand me. If the student speaks another language then I can use
hand gestures, or labeled pictures for certain things.

Critical vocabulary- RECOMMENDED

Culture: the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a particular society, group, place, or time
Diversity: the state of having people who are different races or who have different
cultures in a group or organization
