Students will learn about making patterns as they create a paper caterpillar.

What You Need:

3×3 colored construction paper squares (red, yellow, blue)

scissors

glue

crayons

10×12 white construction paper

12×18 colored construction paper (to create another page)

I Can Make a Pattern Handout

What You Do:

1. Talk about patterns. How they repeat, and the different types of patterns (color, numbers, shapes, letters, etc.) Have them try to find patterns on their clothes or around the room. Once they understand the basic of patterns, that they repeat then you are ready to start the lesson.

2. Have student round the corners of the squares to create circles. Then they need to arrange it in a pattern (red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue, etc.) or whatever color they want to come first, on the construction paper.

3. Once you have checked that they have completed the pattern correctly they can glue it down on the white paper (have them arrange it so it looks like a caterpillar)

4. After they have glued on the circles and created a caterpillar they can then use their crayons to add details, like legs, antenna's, etc.

5. Then they glue the whole project on the large colored construction paper.

6. Glue the "I can make a pattern" strip on the colored construction paper, date the back of the page. You have another completed page in your art book.

The Art Book is a special series of lessons from Maryanne Messier, a teacher from Janesville Wisconsin. "This Art Book theme was created to help art educators by giving them another form of assessment. So many times we as art educators find it difficult to assess a child's progress when projects are sent home. By using portfolio assessment it is easier to judge a child's progress because you can see it from beginning to end. The idea of the art book came from a colleague of mine, Mary Jo Paup. She developed the "book" idea while working towards her masters. When she told me about the idea I decided to use it with my kindergartners. I used the Janesville School District's Art Curriculum as a basis for each project page. It was a challenge but well worth it. The beauty of portfolio assessment is that it starts in kindergarten and can follow them through their elementary career. As the child grows so do the books and the lessons. If you decide to use this form of assessment in your class, I hope your class enjoys these lessons as much as mine did. -Maryanne Messier

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Objectives & Outcomes

Learners should be able to attempt all moves and complete at least 50 percent fully.

Materials Needed

Large open area for children to spread out

Two large paper plates per child

Procedure

Opening to Lesson

Begin by asking students to reach up to the sky. Next have them jump up in the air and land on their feet. Try taking two big steps forward. Now bend over and touch your feet. Continue through several more age appropriate exercises. Now ask students if they could do these moves without moving their feet.

Body of Lesson

Offer each student two paper plates.

Demonstrate how to lay the plates on the ground and stand with one foot on each.

Tell students that you are going to say a specific move, like touch your toes, and they will be expected to complete that move, but they cannot move their feet from the plates.

Allow students to practice each move several times to see if they can do it without moving their feet from the paper plates.

Repeat through several different moves, including walking (sliding), etc.

Closing

Once all exercises have been attempted ask students which were the hardest to complete while staying on the plate. What exercise can they think of that would be possible on the plates?

Assessment & Evaluation

Assessment and evaluation will be based on participation, following direction, and simple observation

Modification & Differentiation

Depending on the disability some moves may need to be modified for students.

Recognizing Patterns in Music and Children's Literature Lesson Plan Pictures and Worksheet Handout (http://www.kenbakerbooks.com/lessonplanmusicpatternshandouts.pdf)

The children's picture book- OLD MACDONALD HAD A DRAGON by Ken Baker and illustrated by Christopher Santoro (ISBN 0761461752)

Guitar or other musical instrument (optional)

Recognizing Patterns in Music and Children's Literature Lesson Plan Time Required: 30-50 minutes
Preparation:
Cut out the pictures and word phrases from the recognizing Patterns in Music and Children's Literature Lesson Plan Handout.
Introduction:
Explain to the class what a pattern is. (For example, a pattern is something that repeats itself, or happens over and over). Tell them a pattern can be something they see with their eyes. (As an example, draw a pattern of repeating shapes of colors on the board; square-triangle, square-triangle or green-yellow-red, green-yellow-red.

Explain that a pattern can also be something you hear with your ears and that many songs have patterns made up of repeating words or phrases, and repeating tunes.
Patterns in Old MacDonald had a Farm:
Ask the class to raise their hand if they've heard the song old MacDonald had a Farm. Tell them Old MacDonald had a Farm is a song with patterns. It has repeating words with melodic phrases. Ask them to listen for the repeating patterns as you sing the song together.

Lead the students in singing the song Old MacDonald had a Farm while introducing the animals in the following order: cow, pig, sheep, and dog (this is how they appear in the song Old MacDonald had a Dragon). You can hold up or point to a picture of the animal from the handout to indicate which animal you will be singing about in each verse.

After singing the song, ask the students what patterns they noticed. Answers may include "EIEIO", "Old MacDonald had a Farm", "On that farm he had a", or the different animal noises. As the children share their answers, write them on the board or put the Lesson Plan Handout on the board.
Patterns in the picture book Old MacDonald had a Dragon:
Tell the class that you're going to read them a book about Old MacDonald and his farm. Explain to them that in this story, some of the patterns from the song get interrupted or broken. Ask the children to listen for the patterns and the way the patterns are changed or broken as you read the story. Then read aloud to the children the picture book, "Old MacDonald had a Dragon". If desired, while reading the book, you can sing the song/musical portions of the story.

After you read the story, ask the class who or what broke the different patterns (the dragon interrupts the patterns). Ask the children to explain what patterns were broken or where. If needed, re-read the book or portions of it to show where the pattern breaks occur.
Determine Students Ability to Identify Musical Phrases and Recognize Patterns:
Tell the students you are going to sing together old MacDonald had a farm again. Explain to them that as you sing it, this time you want them to count how many times a given pattern is repeated. Then lead the students in singing the song, but this time add a verse with the dragon. The animals should be introduced in the following order: cow, pig, sheep, dog, and dragon.

Once again, hold up or point to a picture of the animal from the handout to indicate which animal you will be singing about in each verse. In the dragon verse, you can have the dragon say "Roarrr!" For fun, you might choose to sing the dragon verse having it say "Burp!" instead.

When you're done singing, ask the class how many times the specified pattern was repeated. If desired, sing the verses again to have students count other patterns that are repeated in the song.
Assessment- Identifying and Comparing Patterns and Phrases within a Story:
This portion of the lesson plan can be used to introduce the concept of comparing and contrasting patterns. Explain to the students that in addition to repeating patterns in the song, the story Old MacDonald had a Dragon also has repeating patterns and phrases. These repeating patterns are very similar to each other (compare) but also have slight differences (contrast). (HINT: these compare and contrast phrases occur each time right before the dragon appears and each time the dragon starts to leave.)

Explain to the students that as you re-read the book, they should listen for those repeating phrases. Tell them that whenever you start to say a certain repeating phrase, they should say it aloud with you. But also have them pay attention to the slight differences between each repeating phrase.

As an additional option, if you have enough copies of the book for the students to share, they can read silently along as you read, but when you come to a repeating phrase they can read it aloud. And when they come to the slight differences, you can instruct them to read those words even louder to help them recognize the differences.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Objectives & Outcomes

The students will be able to use listening skills, coordination, and other physical movements to experience an effective workout.

Materials Needed

Music player

Prepare ahead of time: The teacher must prepare a 30 to 45-minute selection of various tempos and types of music. Slower pieces should be shorter in length than the faster pieces. Start slow and then mix it up. It needs to include slow music as "rests" for the students. Use a wide range of music from classical to rap to pop. Prepare a specific area in the gym each student must remain; use cones or other markers if necessary.

Procedure

Opening to Lesson

Ask: Who likes to dance to music?

Allow for responses and discussion.

Say: Well, today, you won't be dancing, but you will hear music, and you will be moving.

Body of Lesson

Modeling

The teacher will play some sample music and show the students the different types of slow and fast movements they can make.

Remind students they will not, and are not permitted to, dance with other students.

Guided Practice

Tell students to check their heart rates and remember the number.

Begin the music. Encourage students to be creative with their movements.

Be sure students remain in their "spots".

Play the music loud enough so students cannot carry on conversations with others.

Independent Practice

Encourage students to create their own music to use at home for exercise.

Closing

Students check their heart rates again for comparison.

Assessment & Evaluation

Students check heart rates prior to and then after the activity.

Modification & Differentiation

Use in a classroom setting, but students can only move arms and legs, staying near the desk. Use outdoors once a week for the entire school to participate. Adapt movement requirements for physically challenged students. Hearing impaired follow other students' movements. Allow students to take turns creating the 30 to 45-minute music selection, especially for older grades.
