Kindergarten students will look for similarities and differences between the toys kids played with from the past and the present. Materials: MYON book: Toys in the Past by Elizabeth Moore Toys from home/school/store (examples) Procedures: 1. Make sure materials are ready (i.e. classroom laptop is turned on, PowerPoint is open, chart paper is taped to the white board, have two different colored dry-erase makers ready, etc). 2. Each table will have a small bin with toys (2 of each) each toy from the present time needs to match with the toys mentioned in the MYON Book (cars, plastic horse, dolls, and so on). 3. Students will be seating at their tables during the lesson. 4. Stand in front of the room and have a brief discussion about the chart from the day before (2-5 minutes). 5. Tell students that they will read a MYON book called Toys in the Past by Elizabeth Moore. Students will briefly discuss what they observe about the toys in the book. 6. Two students at each table will pick up one toy and observe it together. They will discuss how that toy is similar and different from the toy shown in the book (instead of having four students work together as a group, each table will have two groups of students working together). 7. Students will be given 30 seconds to observe and discuss any similarities and differences they see. As the students are doing this, the teacher will walk around the room and listen to students discussions. 8. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until the end of the book. 9. Wrap up the lesson by quickly going over what they learned in todays lesson.
