= Lesson Plans: =

Here are some of my literacy lesosn plans that I created.
My lesson plans are based off of the common core standards because these standards help to let me know what each grade should be doing. By looking at only the 3rd grade CCS, I was able to know what was appropriate to teach in that class and what they should hopefully be able to handle. If I wanted to teach something that wasn't in the CCS for 3rd grade then it would give me a good idea that what I want to teach isn't right for them.

This is a lesson based off of the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". In this lesson I created literact centers for science, math, english, and art.

This lesson teaches students about context clues and how to use them.

The more lesson plans I create, the more difference in teaching methods there will be. Every week I will make sure to have guided reading/writing, independent reading/writing, mini lessons, read alouds and a few others. It is important to use balanced literacy in a classroom so that a teacher can keep on evaluating where each child is. Doing independent work allows for a teacher to walk around and have one-on-one conferences with each student. From guided reading/writing, a teacher can see where student’s weaknesses and strengths are. Based on that, a teacher can create different mini lessons to help each child become stronger in that particular area. Balanced literacy supports children's early literacy development since it allows for teachers to watch each child closely and make decision for future instruction based on that.
