My Lesson Plan Idea

My focus is going to be on Pocahontas.

Our character trait for November is Friendship and Loyalty. This will work perfectly, and she will then become my "hero" for that month.

Remember now that I'm in kindergarten,so start thinking very simple or basic. One of my SS standards is to know the triumphs in American legends and historical accounts through stories such as Pocahontas. This will fit in nicely with how people lived and worked long ago.

As far as writing goes, my standard is for students to use letters and phonetically spelled words to write about experiences, stories, people, objects, or events. This again will fit in perfectly with Pocahontas.

My last thought is that I'm going to make a GLAD style big book to use as the literature piece. I don't want to have anything cartoonish, and I think primary sources would probably be too advanced.

I have enjoyed this process so far, and have appreciated the feedback from my group. We'll see how it goes :)
