LESSON Grade: 1st grade

Subject Area:Social Studies Content Standard: 2 &3 Lesson Title:Great Leaders - Sue B. Anthony and Abraham Lincoln Time needed: 3 days per leader

Short description of the lesson:. Using a graphic organizer, 1st graders will identify key words contained on a page, while the teacher/librarian uses the document camera to share content. In a group of four, 1st graders will use key words to construct a sentence about a great leader. Day One:Discuss vocabulary (impact). Classroom teacher and teacher/librarian share a personal story concerning an impact that was made on their life by another individual. It is crucial that students understand "impact".

Using the text, //Abraham Lincoln// by David Adler and a document camera, read the first two pages and and ask the children to work in group to select which words from the content should be written on the graphic organizer. Model how to write the words onto the graphic organizer and explain the importance of spelling and to copy the word carefully. Continue reading the content needed for "impact" (slavery was ended) Day Two Use words to write two sentences. Have children share and critic sentences. Day Three Final Copy for this leader.

LESSON Kindergarten Hurt Books-a picture is worth a thousand words

Gather discard books that show different types of damage that can occur

Worn pages from turning incorrectly, wet books pages stuck together, books chewed by pets, broken spines from pencils etc holding the page instead of bookmarks, turning over on table to keep your place also breaks the spine. Torn pages use magic mend NOT duct tape J You will have lots of examples in no time crayons, black marker scribbles etc.

Handout a book mark to each student-book care book mark from UPSTART is the one I use, they had a poster too as a visual talking point.

Monitor book return for proper care as an informal assessment
