슈퍼히어로 - 55분 만에 하루 종일 학교 생활

Superheroes

In this one time class, learners will complete a full day curriculum with a superhero theme, in just 55 minutes. This teacher-led lesson follows an interactive and animated self-created PowerPoint slide presentation. Various digital techniques will be used to enhance learning and to help keep the children engaged (for the full 55 minutes). Learners will practice contractions, two column addition, superhero word problems, puzzles and much more.

I include a lot of material and information throughout the lesson, and try to keep the pace moving quickly.  Some material might seem advanced, but I include it anyway. In my experience, 5 -8 year old learners are like learning sponges, able to absorb so much of what they hear. 

Schedule and What’s Happening
1.  Morning Meeting/Greeting: Welcome, warm up song, calendar, weather, question of the day (2) “What is a hero? What is a superhero? 
2.  Reading/Language Arts/Vocabulary: Listen to a story and answer questions about superheroes, contractions, letter recognition, spelling, vowels, writing, superhero vocabulary 
3.  Math: Number recognition, writing numbers, following directions, addition, word problems
4.  Snack: Virtual on-screen snack (Superhero vegetables and fruit with orange juice)
5.  Movement: Move like superheroes
6.  Art- Design Your Own Superhero worksheet 
7.  Fine Motor Skills- writing, virtual superhero puzzle

The superhero puzzle is interactive. I've learned that when I give mouse control to learners with a touchscreen laptop or computer, or use a mouse, they have no problems moving the puzzle pieces. I pad users seem to be able to mouse over the puzzle piece, but not move the pieces. That's fine. I will help.

Vocabulary: hero, superhero, villain, arch enemy, sidekick

Materials “Design Your Own Superhero” worksheet printed before class begins, colored pencils. The “Superhero Contractions” paper can be competed after class for more practice because we never seem to have enough time to complete it in class. The kids will learn that Tommy Time is my arch enemy because I am always running out of time!
