1 Rocio Chavez EDUC 200 Final Project

2 Loma Vista Elementary School Demographics

3 Loma Vista Elementary School Enrollment Grades K-5 Average Class Size 21.4 Credentialed Teachers 60.2 English Language Learners 73.7% Students Per Computer 3.5

4 Observation Ms. Padin 1 st Grade Class Classroom description 22 Kids Carpet Area Library/Reading Area Work Displayed in the Walls 4 computer Overhead projector Television & VHS player, shares with neighbor Bungalow

5 Ms. Padin’s Lesson Plan Long a sound Ms. Padin reviews the sound of short a, so that children identify a difference. She introduces the sound of long a and examples Introduces the long a song Work on Worksheet as a class Passed out the decodable book for this sound Read as a class She assigns homework, to circle words with long a sound, in their decodable book.

6 My questions for Ms. Padin 1. How do the children know what you expect from them? “At the beginning of a lesson I identify what we are going to learn and why it is important” 2. How do you check for understanding? She checks their worksheets and gives formal test often. 3. How do you get your children motivated to participate? She allows them to share and to ask any questions, which creates the right environment. But normally has no problem with participation. 4. How do you deal with children who have trouble understanding the material? I usually pull them aside to provide extra help.

7 My Lesson Plan#1 Grade One Earth Science Standard 3a-Students know how to use simple tools (e.g. thermometer, wind vane) to measure weather conditions and changes from day to day and across seasons. Objective Students should be able to analyze weather conditions using a thermometer. Motivation I will pair up the children in the classroom and hand them a thermometer. I will pass out a sheet of list that they need to measure the temperature of: Ice, hot water, outside, inside etc. Technology-Thermometer

8 My Lesson Plan#1 Grade One Earth Science Input of Information I will discuss temperature and how it relates not just to ice and warm water, but weather. Checking Comprehension Together as a class we will discuss temperature from day to day (using yesterday and today as an example) and in the future season to come. Structured Practice I will pass out a handout that gives a picture of a weather condition and will have to determine what the following day may look like.

9 My Lesson Plan#1 Grade One Earth Science Guided Practice For a week as a class we will be responsible for taking the temperature of the outside using thermometer. At the end of the week we will sit and discuss the changes in the temperature from day to day. Closure I will sit with the class in the carpet and allow them to predict what kind of temperature another season may have. Assessment Because this is just the beginning of this lesson I will give the children a handout for homework to wrap temperature in relation to weather.

10 My Lesson Plan#1 Feedback/Threaded Discussion Predicting temperature for different seasons should be fun for the students. I think it would be a good ongoing assessment to have a thermometer in the classroom or right outside the classroom to check everyday. -Lina Simpson This sounds really interesting. I like how you start with a simple lesson plan, and then try to build on it. - Stephanie Mazourek

11 My Lesson Plan#2 Grade One Earth Science Standard 3b-Students know that the weather changes from day to day but that trends in temperature or of rain (or snow) can be predictable during a season. Objective Students should be able to distinguish the differences in seasons and be able to predict conditions within those seasons. Motivation I will start by gathering the children in the rug area. I start a conversation about weather to encourage thought. I will asks things like: -What kind of day is it today (e.g. cloudy, sunny, or raining)? -What is your favorite weather? -Have any of you seen snow? How does it feel? -If it is summer, When did it last rain? -If it is winter, When was it last sunny?

12 My Lesson Plan#2 Grade One Earth Science Input of Information I will discuss all four seasons and allow them to give me examples of when they have seen these kinds of conditions. Checking Comprehension I will pass out a handout that list weather conditions (temperature, hail, snow, wind, sunny) and they are responsible for matching it up with the right season. Structured Practice We will play a game, “Name than Season.” We will separate the class in two groups. A member from each group will come up and answer a question. I will ask a question, the first to raise their hand will be given an opportunity to answer. If they answer correctly they will receive a point and if they do no the other team has a chance to answer. This will proceed until all children have a change to go up, approximately 10 times.

13 My Lesson Plan#2 Grade One Earth Science Guided Practice I will pass out a worksheet that will check their knowledge of conditions within a season. Closure I will sit with them in the carpet and discuss as a group about the conditions of each group. I will ask them what they have learned and wrap it all together. Assessment I will separate the class in to four groups and assign a season to them. Each team is responsible to illustrate a season by using pictures, words, or object (e.g. leaves for fall). When they are done they will present their poster.

14 My Lesson Plan#2 Feedback/Threaded discussion I’ve noticed, after reading your lesson plans, that you enjoy keeping the children moving. That is just great! The game seems like a lot of fun, and it seems like it would move rather quickly. Also, instead of a group picture, you might want each student to draw their own picture. I would think drawing a group picture might be a little difficult. Other than that, I like how you connect your lessons plans! Super job! -Allison Jaskwiak My response- Although, it may be difficult to deal with groups I think it is a good lesson. Children need to learn how to work with others and this is a perfect opportunity. -Rocio Chavez

15 My Lesson Plan#3 Grade One Earth Science Standard 3c-Students know the sun warms the land, air, and water. Objective Students should be able to identify the effects of the sun. Motivation We will go outside with thermometers. Similar to lesson 1, but the children will now be given a list of different things to take temperature of: A place were the sun shines, a shade, dirt where the sun shines and one that is in a shade, and water in the sun and one that is in a shade. Technology-Thermometers

16 My Lesson Plan#3 Grade One Earth Science Input of Information We will sit in the carpet and discuss the difference in temperature. I will explain to them that sun gives of heat and those things we tested are affected by it. Checking Comprehension I will continue to sit in the carpet and ask them to predict which places would be warmer than others. Structured Practice I will hand out a worksheet that will distinguish the temp of objects when the sun is heating them and not heating them.

17 My Lesson Plan#3 Grade One Earth Science Guided Practice Each child will have to predict what will happen to objects when they are heated. Ice and dirt. Then they will go outside and see what happens and take its temperature. Technology- Thermometer Closure We will sit in the carpet and discuss the changes that the sun did to the ice and dirt. I will restate the overall goal and wrap the lesson up. Assessment I will give them an informal multiple-choice test of about 8- 10 questions that will require them to bring back knowledge of the last 3 lesson plans. We will then discuss the answers as a class.

18 My Lesson Plan#3 Feedback/Threaded Discussion I like how you have the kids go out and test the different temperature themselves. It is one thing to lecture on different temperature. It is another thing to have the kids see it for themselves. That way they remember it better, -Stephanie Mazourek I love elementary school science! Using visual aides such as ice is great for children. Just make sure you have safe thermometors for the students and explain safety rules before science lessons. I like how the classroom gets to go outside as well. Overall a educational and fun lesson! -Lina Simpson
