Type of Organization/ setting up:

After we finish the regular morning routine. I will set with children on the
floor; to see the power point clearly. Later, the children will be in groups
forms to do the differentiation activities.

Introduction (warmer activity + teacher

introduction/demonstration of small group activities)
In the beginning, I will welcome the children, demonstrates
my rules. Then, I will explain to them that we are going to
sing the good morning song. I will say: everyone come to
stand in the front to sing.. after the song I will ask them to
set on the floor in lines. Next, it will come the little teacher to
ask them about the day, the weather outside, what is the
color of this week? What is our theme's name? And what is
the difference between tough and mushy? (I will guide the
little teacher to ask the children and avoid anxious him.)
.
Engage element:
I will engage the students by narrating a story about animals
habitats using the projector to demonstrate it with the
PowerPoint software.
Exploring part: through illustration the story as a whole
class, we are going to explore the animals homes step by
step and each animals solitary. I will display one part of the
story as an instance, one day there was a little girl who goes
to the jungle to pick some apples for her mother. While she is
walking, she found a dog, bird, lion, cow, rabbit, and a horse.
All the animals were lost and sad they did not know where
they are going and they did not where are their homes. The
little girl who is called Maryam says:" you the little bird living
in nest who are at the top of this tree." and so, Maryam
guided the other animals to their homes.
The pupils are going to do:

their answers about the previous story. To figure out how

much they did understand from the story.
After we discover all the animals homes, the whole class will
play the main group play. First, I will explain it to them and
put it on the white board. I will stick a big envelope with the
six animals that been mentioned in the story and random
houses' sticks on the white board. The children will pick one
animal try to figure it out the animal's habitat, and they will
put it in the correct place the animal belongs to.
Note: to answer, the children should show me the quiet
figure or hand.
The pupils are going to do:
raise their calm finger and define the animals homes.
Next, I will explain to them the differentiation activities. I
will illustrate the activities in front of them also do an
example in front of them. Then I will call the children by
their names to go their right places, specific groups
according to the labels that each group has. The purpose
of distributing the children is to do the suitable activities
to their mental abilities. And during that, I will monitor and
assist them.
The pupils are going to do:
