Topic: Week Days

Objectives & Outcomes

• By the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify and name all days of the week.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers

Warm-up

• Ask students if they know what day it is today.
• Have them raise their hand if they know the correct answer.
• Ask a few "teacher-lead" questions, such as "What day is it on Saturday? What about on Sunday?
• After a few questions, allow students to "call out" their answers.

Direct Instruction

• Print the days of the week on pieces of paper and have students arrange them in order on the floor or table.
• Explain that these are the seven days of the week and that they have a special order that we must remember.
• Ask students to repeat the order of the days of the week after you.

Guided Practice

• Using the pictures, have students identify the days of the week and place the corresponding pictures in the correct order on the table or floor.
• As a class, discuss why the days of the week must be in the correct order.
• Ask students to share any strategies they use to remember the order of the days of the week.

Independent Practice

• Divide students into groups and give each group a copy of the Days of the Week Chart.
• Have students use the pictures to fill in the correct information for each day of the week.
• Encourage students to use their strategies to remember the order of the days of the week.

Closure

• Ask students to share any strategies they used to remember the days of the week.
• Remind students that it is important to know the days of the week in order to plan activities and events.

Assessment
