Focus Learner/Behavior Expectations
Activate prior background knowledge by
reviewing letter sounds. Behavior
expectations include cooperative learning,
listening and respect during class discussions.
2. Learner Outcome(s)/Objective(s):
Purpose:
- Students will continue to learn the letter
sounds, used through the adapted school
Rationale:
Kindergarteners need reinforcement
curriculum, Zoophonics.
- Students will ask and answer questions
during whole group instruction.
- Students will cooperatively participate
in class activities such as
demonstrating corresponding actions
with Zoophonics letter sounds.
- Students will write the upper case and
lower case H,h, after whole group
instruction, to continue letter writing
practice.
- Students will follow directions and
continue to learn classroom procedures
before and after whole group
instruction and activities
- Students will be able to work
independently and write name, practice
letter H,h with minimal assistance
from teacher
Rationale:
Zoophonics provides a fun and
engaging method for students to learn
and remember letter and sound
recognition. The beginning of the year
is a good time to introduce and begin
to review and assess where students
are with letter and sound recognition.
Observing how students utilize fine
motor skills, hold a pencil and write,
provides baseline information for the
teacher to plan for future lesson plans
to know what students need to
practice more and what they have
Rationale:
Rationale:
Its important to gauge the ability level
and amount of time allowed during
10. Closure:
At the end of the rotations students will meet
on the rug for praise about their work. The
idea of reflection is a new concept for some
students so the teacher can explain whey its
important to talk about what they have
learned. Teacher can ask specific questions,
related to the lesson, and gauge student
Rationale:
Formative assessment, as in teacher
observation and notes, will provide
feedback for teacher as to students
progress with fine motor skills, correct
letter writing and ability to work
independently at their team table.
The summative assessment will
provide the teacher with an
understanding of student mastery in
letter recognition, letter/sound
correspondence, and writing the
letters taught. The teacher will use the
data to conference with parents during
October as well as to guide daily
instruction.
Rationale:
Its important for students to be able to
reflect and think about what they are
learning and why they are learning.
This is a concept that will be utilized,
hopefully, for all future grade levels so
introducing this in Kinder will benefit
