= =  =Learning About Our Pets = Lesson is Aimed for:  This lesson is for a preschool class of 3-4 year olds. It is a lesson about their pets at home or, if they do not own a pet, their favorite stuffed animal. It is designed to help them recognize animals and explore letters and sounds. This lesson is designed to meet certain Sunshine State Standards, such as:  (LA.A.1.1) "predicts what a passage is about based on title and illustrations."

 Learning Objectives:  Using Windows Movie Maker, students will describe their pet(s) or stuffed animal for at least a minute. Using Powerpoint, students will identify parts of domesticated animals getting at least 95% correct. Bloom's Taxonomy Levels: Comprehension Knowledge

 Materials Needed:  I'll create a powerpoint about different possible pets the students could have, as well as stuffed animals. I'll also create the powerpoint that the students will utilize to identify the parts of the animals. Ask parents to bring in photos of their child and their pet/stuffed animal, or to email so it can be used in the student's movie.

 Students Objectives:  Monday: Listen to online story "The Perfect Pet." Then students can do online activity "Pick a Pet." Other students can draw a photo of their pet or stuffed animal.

Tuesday: After reading "Spot's Windy Day" by Eric Hill students can go onto www.funwithspot.com, or create a dog with a paper bag.

Wednesday: Students can do online activity 'Cat on a Jack-O-Lantern'. Others can do color activity and learn about letter 'C' and practice shapes.

Thursday: Students can complete an 'F is for Fish' coloring page, or do online activity "What Will Bella Wear?" Ask students questions about their pet or stuffed animal and help assist them in making their movie.

Friday: Students are to take the powerpoint quiz as many times until they can correctly label 95% of the parts. Today students will present the movies made to the entire class.
