__Lesson Plan for Meeting #1 Of Club Eagle__

Subject: Club Eagle

Concept: Meeting Number One.

Objective: We created a club to raise homeless children's grades so that they have higher self-esteem.

Materials: Play Dough, white board, white board markers, white board eraser, bucket of little trinkets and candies, basketball, a basketball hoop, a few pencils or pens, crayons, and some paper.

Attention Grabber: Lesson:
 * At the beginning of the lesson there will be a few pieces of paper that they will use to write themselves a letter. The questions that they will answer in the letter will be How do you feel about school? How do you feel about friends? How do you feel about school work? They will turn this into one of the four teachers for us to keep.
 * These two games will take forty minutes to do. The first game we will play will be called Play Dough Throw. There will be a math question up on the white board and then four answers below. For example, 4+3= 6, 7, 11, or 9. You are supposed to throw the play dough ball at the right answer while saying it aloud. Two people will be up at the board at once. Whoever gets the answer correct, or gets the answer correct first will earn a point for their team. We will do this until the twenty minutes are up, and then go on to the next game.
 * The other game we will play is called Spelling Basketball. There is also teams for this one. One person from a team comes up, and we will ask them how to spell something that is at their spelling level. For every word, you bounce the ball. After they spell the word, they shoot. If they make the basket, they score two points for their team. Then another person from a different team does the same thing. We will do this until the twenty minutes are up.

Closing: Option 1: After all of the games are done, we will pass out a piece of paper with a circle that has a line through the middle. Using crayons, they are going to draw how they view themselves, and on the other side how they think other people view them. After they all finish, we will take the black bag with the trinkets and candies in it, and do a grab bag. Option 2: We will read them a story called __Edward The Emu__ by Sheena Knowles. This issues the importance of being yourself, and valuing yourself.
 * As the children leave the club, we will ask each individual a math question that they had already answered during the Play Dough Throw. If they get it right, they get an extra point for their team next Friday on any game that they chose. This will be the end of our meeting number one for Club Eagle.
