Manners
Title: Manners Content Area: Health I chose this lesson because the students really enjoyed this lesson. This lesson was my favorite lesson. The Blue Ox Title: The Blue Ox I chose this lesson because I incorporated technology in this lesson. |
This lesson was taught at the beginning of the school year. Students were introduced to manners and were asked what good manners are. In this lesson the teacher read a story to students called Good Manners at School, by Ann Ingalls.
Reflection: I felt like this lesson plan went very well. Student enjoyed the book that I read to them called Good Manners at School. At the end of the lesson, students got a worksheet that they could write a about a manner, such as raising your hand in school or listening to others. Once they wrote about a manner they wanted to, they got to illustrate a picture. These pages were then collected and made into a class book. One thing I would do differently in this lesson is to not make an example manners page. I felt like students just copied the example instead of choosing their own manner to write and illustrate about. This lesson was taught during shared reading. Students were introduced to the question of the week. The question of the week was, how do animals help people? Students had a discussion on how animals help people. I then showed on the smart board a short concept video on how animals help people. The students seem to love these concept videos I show during shared reading time. During this lesson students listened to the story, "The Blue OX" on the smart board. We stopped to discuss each page and I asked questions. Students were engaged in this lesson. Reflection: This lesson went really well. The students really enjoyed coming up with actions to remember the amazing words/vocab words (past, present, produce, and transportation). Students enjoyed listening to the story on the smart board and answering questions. |
Doubles
Title:Doubles Content Area: Math I chose this lesson because this lesson shows how I differentiated for instruction. Work in the Community Title: Work in the Community Content Area:Social Studies I chose this lesson because this lesson because it demonstrates techniques for assessing students learning. |
This lesson was over doubles. Students were learning that doubles are numbers that have the same addends such as 0+0=0, 1+1=2, 2+2=4 and so on. This lesson involved doubles facts all the way up to 10.
Reflection: This lesson went well. Students had the option to use cubes or counters to help them solve double facts. Students were highly engaged in this lesson. In this lesson I differentiated instruction by demonstrating with the students at the beginning of the lesson, which helped those who are visual learners. I also had students use manipulatives such as: cubes and counters to help them solve double facts. For the advanced students, I had them take a piece of paper and start with 0 + 0=0, 1+1=2, and so on. I challenged them to see if they could go as far as they could with double facts. Some students were able to get to 20 + 20=40. This lesson shows how I used formative assessment to assess student learning. Reflection: I felt this lesson went really well. Students were able to define what a consumer and producer are. Students did a great job with the whole class assessment. There were a few students who would look around the room and see what students were doing with their thumbs during the formative class assessment. Next time I do this lesson, I might just print out this page and have students write under the picture producer or consumer. I would then put up dividers like I do with other tests so students can’t copy someone else. I want to see if those students truly understand the difference between a consumer and producer. |
