Chicage Visit

What were the specific academic objectives of the lesson? Was to have the students use their sense of hearing to find out what is in each egg

Were the objectives grade-level appropriate? Yes it was it was appropriate for all primary classes

Were the objectives met? Yes the objectives was met

What factors were considered in selecting a content for this for this lesson? Trying to get them to have a hands on but auditory lesson. Give them something they are not use to.

How relevant was the content to previous and/or future lessons and/or future lessons and to the students? It was not relevant to any lesson I jus wanted to do something fun and hands on.

Briefly describe what you feel were your strongest moments of your lessons? The strongest moments was when I decided to take control fully and do the eggs myself and have them listen and when they were doing the twelve powerful words.

What did you recognize as area(s) needing improvement during the lesson? The students cant touch and stay focused at the same time. I can not really treat them as big kids yet have to remember they are still somewhat babies.

New Class, New Grade Reflection

Today I was not as prepared as I could have been because I was switched today. But even though they arent my normal 1st graders. These kindergartners are just as perfect. Instead of doing my normal lesson I went over the twelve powerful words and math problems. They will have a quiz next class.
