1.2.Provide alternatives for auditory information.
1.3 Provide alternatives for visual information
I will give the option for the students to re-read the story at a later time. They will be able to read the story on the iPad or the textbook.
3.1 Provide or activate for background knowledge.

7.3 Reduce threats and distractions.
Teacher will have the students sit at the carpet facing the teacher away from the door. A cozy place will be set up for the students to use along with cozy items to hold.

Introduce and Model New Knowledge:

·      Teacher will use the smartboard to show pictures found of different objects. The objects that are shown are the same objects that the students try and blow across the table.
·      Teacher will ask the students to identify the objects.
o   When the students identify the objects, they will decide whether the object is heavy or light.
o   Teacher will go over what heavy and light mean by showing a youtube video entitled Sesame Street Heavy and Light. The link to the video is https://youtu.be/imz_xwPgCM4.
Heavy or Light?
§  Teacher will go over the video with the students asking the following questions:
heavy
light object
·      What object was heavy?
·      What object was light?
·      Why could Elmo blow the feather?
·      What does heavy mean?  
·      What does light mean?
·      Once the students have predicted if the object is heavy or light they will move the picture to the appropriate box (heavy or light on the smartboard).
o   We will review the predictions after the independent work during wrap-up.
**If you don’t have a smartboard use picture cards with a chart.
·      Teacher will transition students to table for guided and independent practice.
