Assessment of Student Learning Identify Evidence: What will you collect or record to
demonstrate students have met your objective/s? I will collect pictures of the children experimenting with spatial awareness when they manipulate the given materials to help them play peek-a-boo. I will also make a chart of who expresses what emotion (happy, excited, sad, upset, and/or frustrated) either when they do peek-a-boo or when the teacher does peek-a-boo to them and I will chart what material the child chose to hide behind while playing peek-a-boo.

Learning Experience Must include: Enough detail for someone else to teach the
lesson if you are not there. Include only authentic materials and minds-on-learning. Start out the lesson by splitting the children into small groups with one adult in each small group. Have the adult start out singing the peek-a-boo song: Where is (childs name), where could she/he be? She/he was here a moment ago. Where is (childs name), where could she/he be? We've been looking high and low. Is she/he there behind the doll house. Quiet as a mouse? Is she crouching in the toy box, crafty as a fox? Is she underneath the rug as cozy as a bug? Oh, where can (childs name) be? Peek-a-Boo! Where are you? Come out from your hiding place. Peek-a-Boo! I see you! While singing this song, have a variety of materials to use as a hiding place (scarf, teddy bear, sheet of paper, and a transparent sheet of paper). Select one of these items while singing. Have the other adults write down the facial expressions that the children make when the adult leads the peek-a-boo. The adult leading the small group should also use different facial expressions when they are leading the peek-a-boo to see if they can get the child to mimic their expressions. Keep repeating this action until one of the children grab for an object and try to manipulate the object to create the peek-a-boo. Repeat this process so each child has a chance to participate in the creative and inquiry based process.

Objective/s: The student will be able to... Experiment with spatial awareness through manipulating the scarves, paper, teddy bears and a transparent sheet to hide behind. Express many emotions stemming from the peek-aboo using his or her facial expressions.

Aggregate/Compile Evidence: How will you aggregate or

compile your evidence into a class or group view?

I will compile a student checklist of who experiments with the spatial awareness and who expresses what emotions when they play peek-a-boo or when the teacher does peek-a-boo to them.

Modifications: If the child struggles to use their fine motor skills to grasp the objects and use them to block their face, I would allow them to crouch behind a book shelf or use their hands to cover their face (since this is more familiar to them) so they could still experiment with spatial awareness as well as express their emotions while doing it.

Interpret the Evidence: What have you learned about your

students and your teaching and what are you going to do about it? This is part of your reflection after the lesson.

I noticed that many of the children used their hands to play peek-a-boo rather than using the objects I laid out for them. I figure that this may be due to the children observing their parents at home playing peek-a-boo using only their hands to cover their face as opposed to other objects. To get them familiar with using these other objects to advance their creativity, I would have the parents at home play peek-a-boo with their child using objects they have at home such as teddy bears or sheets of paper. I would also have the teachers at school use other means to play peek-a-boo with the children other than just using their hands since this limits the childrens creativity.

What will the other adults in the room be doing? The other adults in the room will be taking pictures of the children experimenting with spatial awareness as well as help play peek-a-boo with the children and write down what emotion the children use when he or she plays peek-a-boo.
