Reflection of Teaching:
Discuss What You Learned from Teaching This Lesson by Responding
to 2-3 of the Questions:
Did you meet your learning goal?
Yes, the children helped sing along and make the animal sounds.
What were the challenges with logistics and management & how
were they reconciled?
Some of the children would lose interest. So I would call on them next and
ask what animal would make what noise.
What was fun for you/or what was of concern for you?
It was fun to see the children sing along and make the animal sounds.
List a particular instance that was revealing to you about the
students level of understanding.
When I would pick a child and then pick a animal and then ask the child what
sound does the animal make. And the child would tell me.

What changes would you make to your preparation, planning or

instruction having taught this lesson?
I would have made more animals to put on the flannel board.
