School Site: Cleveland Elementary School Date: 10/1/14

Activity Observed: Space Awareness Grade/Age Level: 4th

DIRECTIONS: You will observe many children performing many different kinds of skills. Select 8 (or as
many as you can) different tasks and describe how the high skilled students and the low skilled students are
performing.

Task Higher Skilled Lower Skilled
1
Spread out

Students are more willing to
participate and cooperate; not
really skill based
Students are less likely to follow
directions. They will sit there and
wait for their classmates to
respond instead.
2
Open your right door

Students were able to follow
directions and do the correct
movement
Students either did nothing or
opened the wrong door (used the
wrong hand)
3
Sliding around town

Students were in correct position
and took a step before sliding their
foot over.
Students jumped and galloped
rather than slide. They did not
bend their knees as much as higher
skilled students
4
prance

Students bent their knees and had
their chest over their knees and
moved efficiently
Students bent over instead of
bending their knees to get on a
medium level
5
Establish personal space

Students were more responsive
and took the initiative to scoot
over and use personal space
Students were not responsive to
establishing personal space. They
stayed in place and waited for
others to scoot over.
