Course Name

Grade Level

Subject Represented (highlight)

Preschool

9-12

Math                    Writing

 

GOALS

  • For students to communicate effectively.

 

OBJECTIVES:

  • Students will be able to clarify, express, and demonstrate their thoughts, ideas, and emotions during the modified circle reflection activity.
  • Students will be able to compare and contrast various teaching techniques and opportunities by evaluating the scenarios.
  • Students will be able to model appropriate circle protocol during the reflection activity.
  • Students will be able to apply concepts and ideas from the reflection circle to their upcoming lesson plans.

 

PRIORITY STANDARDS:

Content Standards:

4.1.6 Analyze the role of professional organizations in education and early childhood.

4.2.5 Analyze strategies that promote children’s growth and development

4.3.2 Implement learning activities in all curriculum areas that meet the developmental needs of children.

Common Core Learning Standards:

SL.11-12.2. Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data.

 

TIME FRAME:

  • This lesson will last approximately 48 minutes/1 class period

 

MATERIALS:

  • Critical Friends Handout
  • Slides Presentation

 

PROCEDURE:

  1. The class will begin with students participating in a modified circle activity. During this, students will reflect on the past week with the preschoolers and how various lessons went. We also will touch on other aspects of the normal “running” of the preschool and answer any questions that need to be answered.
  2. Then, students will get into groups of 2-3, which they will select, and participate in a lesson plan critique/reflection. During this, groups may look a little different because some students have taught and some students have not. For those who have taught, they will ask their peers a series of questions about  their lesson plan. For those who have not taught, they will share their lesson plan with their peers and their peers will have to answer a series of questions about their lesson plan. Then, each student will fill out a separate Google Form. If time allows, students will take the last few minutes to work on their upcoming lesson plan materials or their modules for their ECE Level 1 Credential.

 

ASSESSMENT:

Formative: Check-ins throughout the period will take place to assess student knowledge and retention.

Summative: Students will complete a Google Form, which will serve as their summative assessment.

TIME FRAME:

  • This lesson will last approximately 48 minutes/1 class period

 

MATERIALS:

  • iPads

 

PROCEDURE:

    1. The class will begin with a very brief group discussion about yesterday’s Snicker-doodle lab. In general, this class is somewhat reluctant to speak in front of one another, so I focus on this discussion after each lab.
    2. I then will explain the agenda and objectives of the day:
      1. Rotation Style Activity
        1. Unit Vocabulary Chart: Students will all start with the same assignment and then move on as they complete it.
  • Review: Students will play the game “Heads Up” on the provided iPads to review the terms and concepts.
  • Create: Students will get to choose between 2 options: 1) Create an Aurasma, 2) Create a Comparison using Canva.

*Throughout the rotation activity, students will move to the station that they choose; there is no particular order after the first activity.

  • Upon students arrival, they are directed to open up their Chromebooks and access the Daily Agenda. The Daily Agenda has the outline for the class period, as well as links to the resources that they will be using.
  • During the discussion, students first talk amongst their tables and partners and then they move into a whole class discussion.
  • Throughout the stations activity, students will work with their partners and move through the stations as they see fit. Once they grasp the content from station 1, they can move to any station to reinforce their knowledge.

 

ASSESSMENT:

Formative:

  • Students will be formatively assessed on their completion of the vocabulary chart.
  • Students are also formally assessed at the end of the period with guiding questions in a short, whole class discussion.

Summative:

  • Students will be summatively assessed on the completion of the activity as a whole and their completion of the self-grading rubric.

Math                    Writing

 

OBJECTIVES:

  • Students will be able to identify abbreviations for various measuring increments.
  • Students will be able to compute half of each ingredient.
  • Students will be able to demonstrate and practice equivalent rules.
  • Students will be able to demonstrate and practice proper measuring techniques.
  • Students will be able to implement their lab plans during the pre-measuring stage of the Choice Cookie Lab.

 

PRIORITY STANDARDS:

  • 8.2– Demonstrate food safety and sanitation procedures.
  • 8.3– Demonstrate selecting, using, and maintaining food production equipment.
  • 8.5.3 Utilize weights and measurement tools to demonstrate knowledge of portion control and proper scaling and measurement techniques.
  • 8.6– Demonstrate implementation of food service management functions.
  • RST.9-10.7. Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words

 

TIME FRAME:

  • This lesson will last approximately 48 minutes/1 class period

 

MATERIALS:

  • Cookie ingredients
  • Cookie mats
  • Reflections

 

PROCEDURE:

  1. Upon entering the room, students open up to my Schoology site and access the Daily Agenda. The Daily Agenda encompasses the schedule for the day, important links (if any).
  2. Students also partake in very specific lab procedures, which will be seen during the premeasuring activity for the choice cookie lab.

Students will enter the room and open up their Chromebooks to Schoology. They will independently work on the bell work question, which will take 2-3 minutes. Once students are done, I will know that they are ready to start the discussion because their Chromebooks will be closed. We will go over the answer and check in with a few different people to see what answers they got.

After this, we will begin our measuring and equivalents activity. Students will each have their own whiteboard and work independently or in their groups (depending on the question) to solve and answer the various questions posed. After each question, I will call on multiple students to hear their reasoning and explanation.

The culminating equivalents activity will be done as a table- each students will receive a recipe and will have to half, quarter, or double the recipe. They will do this as a group and one group will be selected to share their answers and explain their reasoning.

Students then will take their lab plans and begin premeasuring for the Choice Cookie Lab. Students will apply and practice their knowledge of equivalents, as well as their appropriate measuring skills. After students label all of their bags and have their bags completely prepped, they will clean up and get checked out, per our usual lab routine. Once students are at their seat, they will complete a GoogleForm exit ticket, which is also located on Schoology.

If time allows, we will go over the agenda for the remainder of the week and into next week.

 

ASSESSMENT:

Formative Assessments: Questions throughout, bell work task

Summative Assessments: Exit ticket (google form), premeasuring for cookie dough.
