Lesson Plan
Day 1 Lesson Plan
Students will learn and practice classroom routines and expectations, recognize and sequence numbers 1–10, count with manipulatives, and explore object properties through a sink-and-float science activity.
Establishing clear routines and rules boosts students’ confidence and engagement. Hands-on math and science activities support number sense, vocabulary development for English learners, and sensory experiences for students with IEP/504 plans.

Day 2 Lesson Plan
Students will review classroom routines and practice addition facts within 5, engage in hands-on addition centers, and observe and record properties of objects through guided science journaling.
Reinforcing routines supports a predictable environment for English learners and students with IEPs/504s. Addition builds number sense and language skills, while science journaling fosters observation, vocabulary, and fine motor development.
