Lesson Plan for Kindergarten, Phonics with Technology
Prepared by Mrs. Kayla Tucker
In this lesson the students will practice both writing names accurately and identifying beginning sounds for common item names they see every day at home, school or the park. We will begin with the students writing their names in our classroom, then advance to identifying other common objects. I will cut some of these items out of magazines and print pictures online for the students to practice and use for this lesson. I have listed some of the importance of students understanding phonics below. After this lesson is implemented the students should be able to understand that…
- sentences are made up of words
- many different words can rhyme
- start blending sounds to make words
- words can be broken down into syllables
- some words can begin with the same sound
- some words can end with the same sound
1. NETS.1.A - creativity and innovation
2. NETS.4.A - critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making
3. K.CS.D.01 - computing systems (devices)
4. K.CS.HS.01 - computing systems (hardware & software)
5. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2.C - write a letter or letters for most consonant and short-vowel sounds (phonemes).
Students should be able to successfully point out 3 words or objects that have the same short-vowel sound as their first letter in their name. For example. “Eli, can you spell your name? Great, now let's take it apart. What sound does the E make? Good, now what about the L?...”
Students will turn a piece of construction paper lengthwise and write their name one letter at a time with enough space to glue a picture beside the letter that matches that sound. (I.E. E - Elephant, L - Lion, I - Ice)
All students should be able to successfully complete this lesson after their first or second month of kindergarten.
Student will be able to take turns and operate the SMART Board by themselves when playing educational games on either of the educational sites listed.
