This document outlines a lesson plan to teach first grade students the months of the year. The class has 17 students, with most being white or African American and some having ADHD. The objective is for students to learn the names and order of the 12 months through hands-on activities with calendars, films, and speaking exercises. Materials used will include a calendar for each student, educational films, and daily homework sheets. Students will recite the months daily and complete homework assignments for repetition. Progress will be evaluated through oral questions during lessons.

percent African Americans, and ten percent Hispanic make up of my class demographics. My
students have special needs and seven of them have varying forms of ADHD, they are all in first
grade.
STATE YOUR OBJECTIVE- My students will learn the months of the year including
discovering how many months are in a year and the names of each month by having hands on
activities with calendars, films, and speak aloud sessions. They will learn the months of the year
by the end of the nine weeks with one hundred percent accuracy.
SELECT MEDIA / MATERIALS- I will be using a physical calendar for each student, fun and
educational films with sing along options to appeal to more of my students, and a homework
sheet each night.
UTILIZE MATERIALS- I will work on a daily basis during the duration the nine weeks using
my information with my students.
REQUIRE PARTICIPATION- Each student will recite the months of the year and have a
related homework assignment each night, repetition is key!
EVALUATE AND REVISE- My students will answer oral questions during class and during
the lessons to check their knowledge and progress early
