All About Us
Goals for student understanding by the end of the unit:
I am unique; there is no one who looks,
feels, thinks and acts exactly like I do.
I feel different ways at different times for
different reasons.
I am part of a family and a classroom
community.
My family is important and unique.
My classroom is a community.
All of the people in my class are important
and unique.
I can help make my classroom a fun, safe
and exciting place.
Lessons and activities for each center:
Blocks-Block Letters
The student’s name cards will be available in block center. Students are invited to write their names using blocks, discussing the lines in each letter of their name (straight, curved, etc.).
Pretend Play-Diner
We are going to keep the diner set up from Unit Two, “My Five Senses.” Shift from focusing on what the children like and enjoy eating with family and friends.
Art-3-D Me:
Varies size shapes from construction paper will be cut out and students are invited to use the shapes to create their bodies. After gluing the shapes together, children can use writing utensils to add additional details (hair, patterns on clothes, etc.).
Science-Who Am Eye?
Take pictures of each child’s eyes. Print and invite children to try to identify each child in the class. This can also be done with mouths or both eyes and mouths and played as a matching game.
Math Name Numbers:
The children will be invited to refer to their name cards and count the number of letters in their names then place the appropriate number card next to the name card. Children can count the letters in their own names as well as their peers’ names.
Library-Reading Together
Students are encouraged to read a book with a friend. One child could read to the other or they could look at a book together.
Writing Classmate Memory:
a memory game using photos of the children in the class. We will use the children’s pictures for one set of cards and their names for the other set.
Sensory- Small plastic letters will be added to the water table. Children are invited to look for the letters in their names. Children’s name cards will be available for them to reference as they work.
