Lesson
Introduction:
·         For the summer program, the class is focusing on a unit about food groups, nutrition, and fitness.  Based on discussions with classroom teachers, I made a lesson about good and bad foods for teeth because healthy teeth are an aspect of a healthy life.
·         Teacher will introduce lesson by activating prior knowledge from the students.  “What are we learning about all summer?” Correct answer being anything related to the food groups, nutrition, exercise, and fitness.  The teacher will ask students to recall information the class has already discussed during the unit.  “What are ways we can keep our body healthy?”  “Why is it important to keep our bodies healthy?” 
·         I have a question: What do we need to be able to eat? (target answer: teeth)  When I count to three I want everyone to make a big smile and show me your teeth.  And when I clap my hands we will begin an activity.
·         Teeth are a very important part of being healthy.  Eating healthy also keeps our teeth healthy and strong.  Today we are going to talk about foods that are good and bad for our teeth.  When we eat good foods it makes our teeth happy and healthy, but when we eat bad foods it makes our teeth sad and rotten.  Does anyone know what rotten means?  Rotten will be introduced as a vocabulary word, first the teacher will ask for a couple of students to share the meaning then provide a more thorough meaning based on students’ responses
·         A modeling activity will then begin about specific foods that make happy and sad teeth.  Two teeth will be up in front of the students, one yellow with a sad face and one white with a happy face.  There will be eight foods, four for each the happy and sad teeth.  The class will go one by one going over if the foods will make the teeth happy or sad.  The class will identify what the food is and then be asked to put thumbs up if it will make happy healthy teeth or thumbs down making sad rotten teeth.  One student will come up and help the teacher glue the food onto the tooth.
·          The class will talk about what types of foods make happy teeth and what types of food make sad teeth.  Sugary foods make our teeth sad, while good healthy food makes our teeth happy.

Independent Activity:  
·         Friends, we are about to go back to the tables and you will each have a chance to think of other foods that will make our teeth happy or sad.  When you return back to the tables you will receive a worksheet that looks just like the teeth chart we made together as a group. (Show paper)  Give yourself a thinking minute in your seat and think of two foods that would make your teeth happy and two foods that would make your teeth sad. 
·         Now that we are at our seats, think about two new good food and two new bad foods, draw them in the correct tooth, and write about what your drew in your pictures.  If you need help ask a friend at your table or ask a teacher.  
·         During the activity I will be assessing my small group on reaching the goals and objectives by probing them on the work they have completed.  While I give my small group a chance to work independently I will also rotate around the rest of the class, asking the same probing questions about their completed work.

Share and Conclusion:
·         As the students are done with their work the teachers will tell the students to hold onto their papers at their tables.  Once the majority of the class is finished with the worksheet the teacher will see which students are showing good sitting to go to the “carpet” large group area.
·         Once the students are all together the class will review what we were discussing.  Ask around four students to share their pictures with the class, preferably students that did not have a chance to participate in the introduction to the lesson.
·         The students will take a pledge to eat foods that will make happy healthy teeth.  I want you to remember what you eat for the rest of the day and tomorrow, during morning meeting, we are going to talk about if the food you ate made our teeth happy or sad.  Then we will also continue our food groups and talk about which foods in which groups are best for our teeth and entire bodies. 

Assessment/Learner’s Outcomes:
Adaptations:
Modification (Harder):
1.)    Students will receive a worksheet that will have smaller lines to promote advanced fine motor handwriting skills.
2.)    Students will be able to identify three or more new foods that make your teeth “happy or sad”.
3.)    Students will be able to explain (verbally or written) in detail why the foods make the teeth either “happy or sad”.
Modification (Easier):
1.)    Students will receive a worksheet with bigger and dotted lines for more accessible writing.
2.)    Students that struggle with coming up with foods independently will be able to choose foods previously discussed during the large group activity or will be given a picture prompt of other new fruits. 
3.)    Students will be given pencils grips to assist on writing the sentences to describe their pictures.



Individual Modification s:
Josiah:  -Will have a teacher that will be assigned to him to help redirect him throughout
the activities. 
- If necessary, Josiah will have his personal activity schedule or a timer to refer to help stay focused on the task at hand. 
                        Estrella:  Will be able to receive a break when she asks for one.  For example, having a
break in the rocking chair before starting the small group activity.
