EVALUATION

The students will be able to sing familiar tunes with different lyrics, and upon learning the songs have a device to aid in the spelling of different colors.

1.  The teacher will write the first color on the board.  Then the teacher will say the color, and initiate discussion on different everyday items that are the color on the board. 

2.  The teacher use the piano, and play through the first familiar tune, asking if the children recognize the song.  A discussion may be initiated around whether or not the students know the song.

3.  The teacher will sing the song again, this time using the “Color Song” lyrics for that particular color.

4.  The teacher will teach the words, by rote (going phrase by phrase having the students echo the teacher), to the children, moving at a pace that is commensurate with the group of students.
