Kristen Romagnoli Lesson Plan #1 Date implemented: 2/4/14 Grade: Kindergarten Goals with SAS Standards: 1.

Demonstrate the relationship between numbers and quantities, including rote counting, one-to-one correspondence, and counting by tens, and comparing values of whole numbers up to 20. 2. Use concrete objects, drawings, diagrams or models to group objects into sets of ten; separate objects into equal parts. 3. Use concrete objects to demonstrate regrouping ones to tens, with adult assistance. Activity #1: Create a board full of items for the 100th day of school. Have the children place ten items into ten different sections of the board to add up to 100. Materials: -Poster board - 10 different items to tape or glue onto poster board I decided to use this activity for the 100th day of school because it incorporated many things that they are learning in the classroom. I actually messed this process up and started backwards by creating an activity and then looking at the SAS Standards. This is something that I changed when I completed my next lesson plan, but luckily it coincided perfectly for what I had planned. The students were working on counting by 10s up to 100, counting on from higher numbers, and grouping concrete objects together. I decided to create a poster board that was split up into ten sections. The goal of this activity was to have the children place ten objects in each of the ten sections on the board. To make it more fun I got a bunch of cool objects for the kids, such as colorful puff balls, candy, sticky spaceships, and cool stickers. Overall the lesson plan went great, and I was able to achieve the goals

that I was hoping to. I was able to get the kids to count by tens every time we finished a section, and I also go them to count from the previous section when we only had a few in the current section, implementing the counting on principle. While the lesson went great and the kids got out of it what I was hoping for, there were a few things that I was not expecting, and if I did it over I would change. One thing was the amount of time it took. I actually had 2 other activities planned for math time that we could not get to because this took so long. If I did this again I would use it as the whole lesson, instead of just a part of one. The other thing that I would change would be allowing the kids to pick out the objects they wanted to add. While I thought that this would get them excited for it, it also distracted them and it took up a lot of time trying to get them to pass the objects on once they had what they wanted.
