Student Self Evaluation & Reflection:

The activity/lesson went well because..
The children laughed and had fun; some children even explored what it looked like to have a panel
of a different color over each eye. Ex: One child said Look at me Ms. Cassie. The child had a
blue color panel over his right eye, and a yellow color panel over his left eye.
The activity/lesson would be more successful next time if I would.
Have had more than just two color panels of each color
