V. Reflective Response
A. Report of Student Performance in Terms of Stated Objectives (Reflection on
student performance written after lesson is taught, includes remediation for
students who fail to meet acceptable level of achievement)
This was the first lesson where the students were taking the strategies they
learned and applying them to subtraction problems. The objective for this
lesson was, The third grade students will apply subtraction strategies by
correctly completing money word problems. The formative assessment for
this lesson was another homework assignment. This assignment was worth 16
points total. 18 students received a 90% or above, one student received an 8089%, one student received a 70-79%, and one student received a 0% for not
completing the assignment.

B. Remediation Plan
I believe the students did very well on this assignment. My remediation
plan for this lesson is I would have the student who did not complete their
assignment stay in at recess and complete the missing work. I would also
work with the student who received the C on the worksheet one on one and
help them remediate where they are not understanding the work or making the
errors.
What could I do to improve my lesson for next time?
I think this lesson went really well, I need to find a stronger solution to clean the
desks off.
How was I with time management and classroom behavior?
I didnt get to finish my lesson but I still managed my time well. Class behavior
was great overall, one student really tested the waters and received a THINK sheet today
during class. After he received this sheet he was quiet for the rest of the class.
What was one part of my lesson that went well?
The students grasped these strategies quickly because they were familiar with
them from addition. Today went a lot smoother.
