in your everyday life?

Activities/Procedures (include anticipated time for each)

Introduction/Activator

1. I will review shapes while pointing to them and having students say the
names with me, then point out a few examples in the classroom. 5
minutes
 2. We will walk around the classroom or outside if the weather is nice and
each student will pick one shape item to bring back to their seat. 10
minutes.
3. Students will show what they found and tell what shape it is. We will
discuss if the shape is flat or solid. 25 minutes
4. Students will label the shapes they see on the front of their home pictures
they drew for the pre-work exercise. 15 minutes
5. Closure/Reminders 5 minutes

Class Activities Reasons for Activities

 We will review shapes as a class.  Students will be reminded what the

shape names are.
 We will pick an item to share.
 We can find shapes in the world around
 Students will share what shapes they us.
found.
 Students have different perspectives
 Students will label the shapes they see and sharing what they found can help
on their drawings. their peers see things through their
eyes.

 Check for understanding.

Closure/Reminders
To close the lesson, I can find some more examples of shapes and ask students
what shape they think it is. I can also remind them that we can find shapes
everywhere if we are aware of our surroundings.

Assessment
Students will be able to label their home drawings successfully.

Accommodations/Differentiation

 If a student finishes their work more quickly than another, they can help a
classmate who is struggling to find a shape in our world.
 For a student who may be unable to walk around easily because of a
disability I can pair them with a partner who can grab something they
may not be able to reach or access (like a leaf on the ground or a picture
that may be out of their reach.
Reflection/Evaluation
If students were not able to successfully name shapes at the end of the lesson,
I would likely need to change some aspects of the lesson. I could spend more
time talking about shapes before sending them to find something or give more
real-world examples around the room to help it click more efficiently.
