Students at the 2nd grade level are starting to learn and understand how liquid is measured and how to solve measurement problems. Unlike kindergarten and 1st grade level students, 2nd grade students are beginning to understand and start wondering about how liquids are measured
Theme: “Mr. Gallon Man” Exploring measurements of liquid using Gallons, quarts, pints, and cups.
Standards: State Level Standard for 2nd Grade Level students such as; II-LS, II-R, II-W, II-L, AZ-CCS 3.MD.A.2., and AZ-CCS 2.OA.A.1. Good job including standards for use.
Background Building:
For the past month, students have had been learning about measuring liquid using cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. They have watched the “Gallon Man song” video during carpet song time. During carpet time, students listen and sing the song, while the visual video is displayed on the smart board. In the “Gallon Man song”, students learn about how two cups equal 1 pint, two pints equal 1 quart and how four quarts equal 1 gallon.
English proficiency levels: beginning through advanced

Group discussion and following step by step instructions while creating of Mr. gallon Man on 11 x 14 colored construction paper will help students in learning through visual engagement, writing, auditory, and problem-solving.
Vocabulary learning takes place through the discussion and labeling portion of this lesson plan.
Students are also required to work in partners when creating Mr. Gallon Man. Visual aids on smart board multimedia will be there to help assist student learning and progress.
