Name: Lauren Anderson Lesson Title: Reading with lyrics

Date: 3/10/24 Grade Level: Preschool Circle one: ECE PKSN
Standard(s)/Guideline(s): 1.b. Responds to a variety of sounds.

Standard(s)/Guideline(s): 2CE Explore steady beat and rhythm.

Pre-assessment of current knowledge: Before the lesson plan, I would have the students sit in front of the room on the rug and I would play different
children’s songs that the students could dance to and move in any way they would like to the music. This will get the kids introduced to sound in the
room and different beats in music before I read stories and have them learn two songs as a class.

N/A
Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data
to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and
skill?)
I will take anecdotal notes while I watch students listen to
the songs as well as singing the songs.
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile
your evidence into a class or group view?)
I will compile my evidence by having my class sing the
different songs we learn through books every week. This will
get students familiar with how different beats and rhythms
make a song come to life.
Differentiation:
N/A
Academic Language:
Rhythm, melody, beat.
Procedural steps:
1. I would start by gathering all the students to the front
of the room and have them sit at their assigned
spots.
2. Then I will start the lesson by asking students to
share their favorite bedtime story or song.
3. Next, I will explain to the students how I will play the
lyric video of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and they
will just listen to it at first.
4. After we hear the song, I will play it again and ask the
students to sing along.
5. As a class we will sing the chorus and make any
movements we would like.
6. Once the activity is over, I will ask what the students
enjoyed.
7. This is a good way for students to listen and do
hands on work.
