There is Only One Me!
Learning Objectives

- Ask your students if they watch Sesame Street.
- Sing or play There is Only One Me.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
(5 minutes)- Play the song again and encourage your students to sing and dance along.
- Tell the students that just like the girl in the video, there is only one of them and that makes them perfectly unique.
Guided Practice
(5 minutes)- Show your students the number 1 paper cutouts. Tell students that every time the number one comes up in the song they are to hold up the paper cutout.
- Have each student choose a cutout or pass out cutouts randomly.

(5 minutes)- Collect and look over student papers.
