2. Discuss with the students what types of food are
their favorite and what would they like to rain down
on them.

3.Explain that they will be drawing a child looking

up and catching falling food from the sky.

Development: Development:

4. Demonstrate how to draw the child.
-Using a pencil on the large blue paper, students
will draw a circle for a head with a small button
nose on top.
-Students will add a neck and shirt. The shirt must
have a few sections with patterns and lines.
-Students will add a large mouth with teeth and a
tongue.
Students will first start off by following the
lesson by drawing the child. They will continue
to follow the lesson by making the cloud and
gluing it to the paper. The students will then
color their child and add their food choices into
the cloud.

5. Students will trace over their lines with a dark

marker.

6. Students will color in their drawing using

crayons. They will be shown how to blend with the
crayons and told that they should use blending on
the shirt of their child. They will be shown how to
color in the large mouth with either black or grey so
it doesn’t look like a hole through the head.

7. I will model how to draw a cloud. Students will

draw a bumpy line that goes around the entire page
and connects. They will then cut this cloud out and
glue it to the top of the paper with their person on it.

8. Students will use scraps of colored paper to

create their food falling from the sky. I will explain
the collage technique and that all of the details
should be created with paper. The students can
draw details onto the food as needed. Students will
use glue sticks to glue their food onto their papers.
They should create about 5-6 pieces of food and
glue them on the cloud and falling down from the
cloud.

Conclusion: Students will compare their fallen food Conclusion: Students will compare their fallen

Critical Comments and Reflections:

(Write this after teaching is done: Problems, successes, differentiated learners, and what to think about for next lesson)
After my lesson, I realized that there are some more things I need to be aware of when it comes to
teaching. I need to make sure that I'm teaching and managing at the same time. I noticed this week
that the students were more rambunctious from the start of the lesson. I realized at this point that the
students are becoming more comfortable with me and they are pushing their boundaries with me.
Having the students be more comfortable with me is great, but that means I have to be aware of how
they will act towards me. There were times in this lesson where I had to call out certain students for
not following directions or talking to other student's. It was frustrating at times, but after I redirected
the student wasn't much of an issue. The students really enjoyed the lesson. I think if I did this
lesson again I would need just a few more minutes, so the student's and I were not rushed. This
project had a decent amount of steps. It wasn't a lot of time I felt to get the students the best quality
of work. I noticed that some of the student's they struggle with scissor cutting, so I think I want to
work on fine motor skills. I think I need to watch the amount of steps I give the students for next time
so they are not pressured and enjoy and learn from the lesson.
