Subject/Lesson Topic: Physical Lesson on Rainbows
Goals: For the students to be able to manipulate small objects and
improve their fine-motor skills.
 
Objectives:  (TLW:) 
1. Students will use their hands, fingers, and wrists to manipulate
large and small objects with strength and good control of small
muscles.
2. Students will coordinate eye and hand movements to perform
everyday tasks, such as using scissors.
 
Standards/GLEs: 
PM 2: Develop small muscle control and coordination.
 
Contextual Factors:
Prairieville Primary School is located in Ascension parish. It is a
public school that teaches pre-k through 5 grades. Th school has
925 students. Of those students, 31 percent receive free or reduced

Technology Integration: 
None.

Family/Community Connection or Extension:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Today in class I taught a lesson in the social domain. The goal of

this lesson was for the children to be able to manipulate small objects
in order to improve their fine-motor skills. The items we used were
yarn and beads. We started by sorting the beads into colors. Then
each child received a string of yarn and was guided to put the beads
on the yarn in rainbow order. After that, they were able to tie their
yarn into a knot to make a bracelet, necklace, etc. At your home, you
could do this activity, or go on this website called “Growing Hands-On
Kids” in order to find activities to improve fine-motor skills. Below I
will link the website.

Pre-Assessment:
I will observe the children for a couple days before engaging in
fine-motor activities to gauge their level of skills. I will document
how fast it takes them to complete each task, and how accurate it
is.
 
Lesson Procedure and Activities: (the format will depend on the
type of lesson such as ELA or science) 
 
Introduction:
I will start by giving each student a couple of beads and get them to
sort them by color.
 
Activities: 
1. Each child will get a string of yarn and a couple of beads
for each color of the rainbow.
2. Then, the children will string the beads onto the string of
yarn in the order of a rainbow.
3. I will go around to each student to help them.
 
Closure: 
The children can try to tie their string together to create a
bracelet, necklace, etc.
 
Differentiation: 
For this lesson, there should not be any part of the lesson that the
Spanish speaking child or the children that need help with speech
articulation will need extra help with.

 
Formative Assessment/Evaluation:
I will observe the children for a couple days before engaging in
fine-motor activities to gauge their level of skills. I will document
how fast it takes them to complete each task, and how accurate it
is.
