Small Group Template Three Teacher: Lasseter Unit 1 Week 4
Suggested use: two teacher directed activities with two independent activities. As children grow independent they can work alone without consistent teacher support, allowing teachers to plan more needs based activities with both adults providing guidance .**Refer to the FAQ for Planning Instruction and the FAQ for Small Groups for further explanation. **Documentation of small group reading (book title with brief description of the follow-up activity) is required one time weekly but may be planned more often.

STANDARD: CD-MA4.4a Planning for Assessment Template Teachers: Lasseter Required documentation of plans for collecting assessment throughout the instructional day can be noted on the lesson plan template or by using the following format. Spontaneous collection of documentation (such as photos, notes and collection of work samples) will occur throughout each day, therefore there will be no evidence of planning for many items collected. Indicate specific activities below. Not all spaces are expected to be filled weekly. This is an organizational tool to help with weekly planning and preparation for collecting assessment documentation. See sample online at www.decal.ga.gov.

Instead, we have standards that we collect evidence for and input that evidence into our online database. The evidence that we collect is a variety of four things: Work Samples (WS), Photos (P), Matrices (M), or Observational Notes (N). We input these forms of evidence into our online database call Work Sampling Online (WSO). As we complete weekly lesson plans, we must also complete an assessment template. This template lets me know what standards I am assessing for a variety of students or in large group. Majority of the time I collect data during small groups. The three apps (resources) that I have included in my lesson are used during small groups. According to Georgia Pre-K requirements all Pre-K teachers need to use specific lesson plan template (pg. 1-2), assessment template (pg. 4), and small group template (pg. 3). My lesson plan uses a version of the approved templates. In a Pre-K classroom we do not have a lot of technology to use, so I can check out an iPad Cart from the media center. The iPad cart should have at least 10 iPads, so my students can work together using the technology in small groups and partners. 1. My first resource (app) that can be used in a teacher led small group is called Little Writer. This is a free app that can help the students trace letters and encourage the students to practice writing. The students can work with a partner and can take turns writing letters using the iPad. The teacher can observe the students as they are practicing their writing skills and complete the small group matrix (pg. 5). The matrix is a form of how Pre-K assesses students. The teacher can check off which students can create letters and identify letters with or without help from the other student or the teacher. After each student has had a chance to use the app and join that small group, then on Friday the teacher will determine which students need additional practice with letters or writing skills. The teacher will be able to determine which students need additional help, by analyzing the matrix to see who had the most trouble with those letters and writing skills. 2. My second resource (app) that can be used in a teacher led small group is called Preschool Patterns. This app costs $1.99 and it can help the students create patterns, determine what comes next in the pattern and count the objects in the pattern. The students can work with a partner and can take turns creating using the iPad. The teacher can observe the students as they are creating their pattern and complete the small group matrix (pg. 6). The matrix is a form of how Pre-K assesses students. The teacher can check off which students can create a pattern, determine what comes next and count the objects with or without help from the other student or the teacher. After each student has had a chance to use the app and join that small group, then on patterns or counting. The teacher will be able to determine which students need additional help, by analyzing the matrix to see who had the most trouble with those pattern or counting skills. 3. My third resource (app) that can be used in an independent small group is called Tiny Hands Sorting 2. This is a free app that can help the students work on math skills and practice sorting. The students can work with a partner and can take turns sorting objects using the iPad. The teacher can observe the students as they are practicing their sorting skills and collect observation notes. The students can use this app in small groups and then later that day can use the app again with the teacher there to collect observational notes on each student during center time. The observational notes is a form of how Pre-K assesses students. The teacher can make a note of which students can sort objects with or without help from the other student or the teacher. After each student has had a chance to use the app and join that small group, then on Friday the teacher will determine which students need additional practice with sorting objects. The teacher will be able to determine which students need additional help, by analyzing all of the observational notes to see who had the most trouble with sorting skills.
