1. Pre-K/ CCSD K-2nd Grade/Nevada Core Standards:
• 4.K.5 - With assistance, make connections to self, other text, and/or the world; listen to and use information to answer specific questions. 2. Objectives: SWBAT + Bloom’s verb • SWBAT make their own unique and individual quilt piece that signifies an important memory or event in their life. 3. Materials/Equipment: • Papa and the Pioneer Quilt, glue, crayons, colored pencils, markers, scissors, construction paper, assortment of cloth, and tape. • Students may bring in material that has a memory that is triggered by that piece of material. 4. Teaching: A. Plan for reading the book: • Before I read Papa and the Pioneer Quilt to the class, I will ask students, “What do your parents do with old clothing or rags? Do they throw them away? Pioneers used old clothing and tattered rags to make quilts. These quilts were significant because each piece of clothing or cloth holds a significant memory. • I will then tell students, that we are going to make our own class quilt! Each student will have a square that represents an important time in their life or a specific and meaningful memory. Once we have all completed our squares, we will put them together (with tape) ECE 260 – 3001 Urrea
to make a beautiful and unique classroom quilt.
B. Plan for extension activity: • I will show students my quilt piece and explain why I chose the material, design, colors, or illustrations to portray a special time in my life or a specific meaningful memory. • I will hand out blank quilt squares and allow students to get out their materials (if they brought any from home) and begin working on their square. • If children finish early, they will write in their writer’s notebook explaining the significance of their quilt piece. • After each student has finished, they will give their quilt squares to me and I will put the squares together that evening. 5. Closure: • I will ask students, “Would anyone like to share their quilt square? If you would like to share, then explain what you used on your square and why that is significant.” • Students that would like to share will need to get their quilt square back from me and make themselves visible so the whole class can view their quilt piece.
