Name: Lauren Joines Lesson Title: Music Movers

Date: 11 March 2020 Grade Level: Infants Circle one: ECE PKSN
Standard(s)/Guideline(s): Approached Toward Learning: Creativity: Demonstrate preferences, pleasure or displeasure when interacting with various media
Approaches Toward Learning: Engagement and Persistence: Attempt to reproduce interesting and pleasurable effects and events.
Pre-assessment of current knowledge:
What kind of movement is the child already doing? How have they expressed emotions just based on their faces?

Instructional Objectives (2-3) Assessment of Student Learning Learning Experience

Two- Three Assessed Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data Academic Language:
Instructional Objective(s): The to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and
student will be able to... skill?) Emotions, sounds, movement

The student will be able to make
noises with their hands or their
voices based upon the sounds
they hear
The student will be able to copy
sounds and noises made by peers
and teachers
One Assessed Developmental
Skill:
The teacher will collect pictures and running records of the
children
The teacher will chart what each child was doing, and
when, and document it with a picture (if one was taken at
that time)
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile
your evidence into a class or group view?)
Procedural steps:
1. The teacher will begin by playing 3 songs/ sounds to
the children (birds chirping/nature, a nursery rhyme,
and a popular song on the radio)
2. After students have listened once, the teacher will
pass out handheld shakers to each student.
3. The teacher will play the 3 sounds one again and
create a running record of the children’s reactions
with the shakers, while taking pictures if possible.
4. The teacher will compile a chart of everything
discovered, including pictures.

Repeat actions that elicit social
responses from others
React to emotional expressions of
others
Safety Considerations:
Since the students are infants,
they could knock each other with
hands or shakers.
Pictures and records will be posted on a wall, visible to
everyone with captions explaining what data was
collected.
Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real life, hands-on
materials.)
Shakers, radio/speakers, sounds (either CD or online)
Adult Roles:

Play music, take running record, take pictures

Reflection:
To adapt this lesson plan, I would use more contemporary music that students could sing along too. I would also use the 3 rd grade music standard of 4PR play a
variety of classroom instruments with proper technique. With this standard students would find classroom instruments that sound like parts of the song to play
along with it. Playing a short clip, like 30 seconds, and pausing when a new instrument is heard, is key. Students learn that more than one instrument is going into
the production of a song. Using the 3rd grade English language arts standard of W.3.2 write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and
information clearly, I could have students write about the emotions behind songs and if they would add any instruments to change the emotions heard in the song.
In this adapted lesson, students will be able to identify sounds in a song and recreate it and students will be able to write a paragraph describing the song and its
emotions.
