Preschool Lesson Planning Form Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep! Listen to the City Mathematics: Data Collection and Graphing Colorado Academic Standard Addressed: Standard: 1. Number Sense, Properties, and Operations 1. Quantities can be represented and counted Standard: 4. Shape, Dimension, and Geometric Relationships 2. Measurement is used to compare objects Learning objectives – Students will be able to: 1. Count and represent objects including coins to 10 (PFL) 2. Compare and measure data on a graph Setting: This lesson will be taught at the end of the session during Closing Circle/Story Group time with the whole class. No setup is required, but this lesson will be using the sentence board chart (which is a permanent element of Circle Time) and the space of the classroom. I will be leading the lesson, and the ECSE and the other paraprofessional will be in the classroom sitting with the students. Materials and preparation: 1. Book: “Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep! Listen to the City” written by Robert Burleigh and illustrated by Beppe Giacobbe 2. Premade graph – one large piece of construction paper, 5 columns (one for each vehicle: rocket ship, motorcycle, helicopter, bulldozer, fire truck) and enough spaces drawn on it in case every student chose one vehicle. Each vehicle will have their initial letter written next to it. 3. Star stickers 4. Sentence board chart and clips to affix graph Activity procedure: 1) Introduction— Show the students the book, “Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep! Listen to the City” and ask them if anyone already is familiar with the book. Ask the students if they know what the book could be about. 2) Procedurea. The teacher will read the book to the whole class b. The teacher will then pull out the empty graph, and ask students if they know what it is. She will affix it to the sentence board chart using clips.

Preschool  Lesson  Planning  Form  Clang!  Clang!  Beep!  Beep!  Listen  to  the  City  

Mathematics:  Data  Collection  and  Graphing      Colorado  Academic  Standard  Addressed:    

• Standard:  1.  Number  Sense,  Properties,  and  Operations  1.    Quantities  can  be  represented  and  counted  

• Standard:  4.  Shape,  Dimension,  and  Geometric  Relationships  2.    Measurement  is  used  to  compare  objects  

   Learning  objectives  –  Students  will  be  able  to:  

1. Count  and  represent  objects  including  coins  to  10  (PFL)  2. Compare  and  measure  data  on  a  graph  

   Setting:  This  lesson  will  be  taught  at  the  end  of  the  session  during  Closing  Circle/Story  Group  time  with  the  whole  class.  No  setup  is  required,  but  this  lesson  will  be  using  the  sentence  board  chart  (which  is  a  permanent  element  of  Circle  Time)  and  the  space  of  the  classroom.  I  will  be  leading  the  lesson,  and  the  ECSE  and  the  other  paraprofessional  will  be  in  the  classroom  sitting  with  the  students.      Materials  and  preparation:  

1. Book:  “Clang!  Clang!  Beep!  Beep!  Listen  to  the  City”  written  by  Robert  Burleigh  and  illustrated  by  Beppe  Giacobbe  

2. Premade  graph  –  one  large  piece  of  construction  paper,  5  columns  (one  for  each  vehicle:  rocket  ship,  motorcycle,  helicopter,  bulldozer,  fire  truck)  and  enough  spaces  drawn  on  it  in  case  every  student  chose  one  vehicle.  Each  vehicle  will  have  their  initial  letter  written  next  to  it.  

3. Star  stickers  4. Sentence  board  chart  and  clips  to  affix  graph  

   Activity  procedure:    

1)  Introduction—  Show  the  students  the  book,  “Clang!  Clang!  Beep!  Beep!  Listen  to  the  City”  and  ask  them  if  anyone  already  is  familiar  with  the  book.  Ask  the  students  if  they  know  what  the  book  could  be  about.  

2)  Procedure—  a. The  teacher  will  read  the  book  to  the  whole  class  b. The  teacher  will  then  pull  out  the  empty  graph,  and  ask  students  if  

they  know  what  it  is.  She  will  affix  it  to  the  sentence  board  chart  using  clips.

c. Teacher  will  explain  what  a  graph  is  to  the  students  (introducing  vocabulary  terms:  column  and  row),  and  go  over  each  vehicle  that  is  represented  on  the  chart.  The  teacher  can  start  with  the  letter  or  the  picture  of  the  vehicle,  making  sure  the  letter-­‐sound  connection  is  made.  

d. The  teacher  will  explain  what  the  students  are  to  do:  i. Think  about  which  vehicle  they  like  the  best  (keeping  

mouths  closed)  ii. Wait  until  they  are  called,  then  stand  up  and  walk  to  the  

front  of  the  circle  iii. Take  a  star  sticker  and  put  it  in  the  box  above  their  

favorite  vehicle  iv. If  there  is  a  star  in  a  box,  put  the  star  sticker  in  the  above  

box  3)  Closure—  The  teacher  will  ask  the  class  to  count  the  number  of  stickers  in  each  column  with  her.  She  will  write  the  number  of  stickers  at  the  top  of  each  column,  making  the  quantity  to  numeral  connection.  After  they  count  all  the  stickers  in  each  column,  the  teacher  will  ask  the  students  to  tell  her  which  one  has  the  most,  meaning  it  was  the  most  favorite  in  the  class,  and  which  one  has  the  least.  Discuss  how  results  differed,  and  how  it  is  acceptable  when  not  everybody  likes  the  same  thing  all  the  time.  

4)  Cleanup—  Teacher  will  remove  graph  after  students  are  dismissed,  and  post  it  on  the  wall  where  they  can  review  it  on  their  own.  

5)  Transition—  The  teacher  will  dismiss  the  students  one  at  a  time  as  their  parents  arrive  to  pick  them  up.  

   Adaptations  for  specific  children:  Jayde  and  Charlie  will  be  able  to  complete  this  activity  without  modifications  or  accommodations.  Some  students  may  need  individual  instruction  once  they  have  been  called  up  to  mark  the  graph.      Assessment:  Students  will  be  assessed  through  direct  observation,  which  will  then  be  recorded  into  the  GOLD  app  on  the  classroom’s  iPad.  They  will  be  assessed  in  their  ability  to  understand  concepts,  like:  least/most,  counting,  quantity,  and  compare/measure.      Follow-­‐up/extensions:  The  graphs  for  both  classes  will  be  posted  in  a  visible  space  on  the  wall  in  the  classroom  for  the  students  to  review  on  their  own.  Teachers  may  encourage  children  to  talk  about  the  results  in  their  own  terms.      Reflection/self  evaluation:       I  was  adequately  prepared  for  this  lesson  because  I  had  the  book,  the  graph,  and  the  stickers  already  available  when  the  lesson  started.  This  decreased  the

student  waiting  time  while  I  transitioned  from  the  book  to  the  graphing  activity.  I  had  also  read  the  book  once  before  in  order  to  familiarize  myself  with  the  text.  The  location  in  Story  Group  was  appropriate,  as  it  involved  the  entire  class.  Each  child’s  achievement  of  each  objective  was  adequately  assessed  through  direct  observation.     I  thought  this  lesson  was  engaging  for  the  students  because  they  got  to  pick  their  favorite  vehicle  out  of  a  field  of  5.  I  think  that  preschool  students  enjoy  talking  about  themselves,  and  especially  naming  or  labeling  their  favorite  things.  Both  sessions  sat  well  throughout  the  activity,  and  the  conversations  that  I  could  here  were  mainly  on-­‐topic.  It  may  have  taken  a  bit  too  long  for  every  student  to  mark  the  chart,  but  I  could  not  figure  out  a  different  way  to  go  about  doing  it.  I  suppose  that  the  students  need  to  learn  and  practice  how  to  wait  their  turn  and  to  remain  quiet  and  respectful  while  they  wait.        A  graphing  activity  should  be  planned  for  the  future  in  order  to  reinforce  and  familiarize  the  students  with  this  type  of  mathematics:  rating,  quantifying,  and  measuring.  The  students  did  well  with  the  activity.  

   

 This  is  a  photograph  of  both  sessions’  completed  graphs  hanging  on  the  wall  (they  got  a  little  loved  before  I  could  take  the  picture).
