Lesson Implementation & Reflection (40 points)

You will use this format for each of your lesson implementations for: social studies, science, &
math. Read the instructions below, plan and complete your lesson, then respond to the
reflection prompts at the end.

Instructions
1. The lesson implementation appears on your Observation Log as 1 hour. You DO NOT
need to plan a lesson that lasts for 1 hour. Plan the time for your lesson to fit with the
classroom you are placed in and use the remainder of that hour for setting up your
lesson. If there is still time left, plan to split the remainder of the time for before and
after your lesson. For example, if your lesson will last for 20 minutes, plan to be in the
classroom for 20 minutes before and after your lesson to meet the 1-hour requirement.
1. It is often helpful to do your lesson implementations during choice time, rotating
centers, or independent work time. Work with your teacher to find what works
best for their classroom.
2. You should choose 1-3 children to complete your lesson with. If your teacher asks you to
work with more children that is OK. You may also complete your lesson multiple times if
there are small groups in rotating centers.
3. Work with the cooperating teacher in your classroom to brainstorm what topic will work
best with what they are teaching in their classroom. Design the topic and content of
your lesson to fit with your classroom.
4. After you speak with your cooperating teacher & build your lesson, share what you have
planned with your cooperating teacher for their approval prior to implementing. 
5. If your teacher allows you may use the materials in their classroom or you can purchase
materials for your lesson. We also have materials available for loan on the Youngwood
Campus—if you’d like to borrow materials contact Dr. Weekley.

Lesson Plan
Complete the information for each piece of your lesson below. This sheet is what you should
share with your cooperating teacher for approval prior to implementing your lesson.

1. Children’s age/grade- Kindergarten

2. Content Area & Topic Math – Addition adding within
3. Activity Description- The children have been working with addition using objects to be
able to understand in all sequence. For this activity we are going to start with simple
addition within 10. The children will be able to see an amount of an object and count
the objects in the next set to get the in all total.

4. 3 Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards. At least 1 of these should be related to your

content area, however the others may be related to other content areas.
Standard 2.2 K.A.1 Extend the concepts of putting together and taking apart to add and
subtract within 10.
Standard 2.1.K.A.1- knows number names and write and recite the count sequence
Standard 2.1 K.A.2 apply one to one correspondence to count the number of objects
5. 3 Learning Objectives.
Recognize that a number represents a specific quantity
Solve addition by adding within 10 by using objects or drawings to represent the problem
Use concrete objects to tell how many in all

6. Materials
Laminated lady bug with magnetic spots (1 per child)
Magnetic circles
White board
Marker
Eraser
Paper

7. Procedure.
1. Introduction: Yesterday we worked on addition and today we are going to work on it
some more. To review what we worked on yesterday (use white board- 3 apples
and 3 oranges) can anyone tell me how many apples and oranges are in all?
(Previewed on my board ) So the four of us come sit in a circle and lets try some
addition problems.

2. Activity: First hand each child a laminated ladybug. On my ladybug I place 2 dots on
the right wing and one of the left wing. I hold my ladybug in the air and ask the four
students how many dots are on the right lets count 1,2 and how many on the left in
all 1,2,3. Lets try counting in Spanish,” uno is one, dos, is two and tres is 3.” Now lets
try all together “Uno, Dos, Tres.” So our ladybug has three spots, good job! Lets try
another one together 3 dots plus 3 dots, can someone raise their hand and tell how
many are on this side. How about this side? Good so lets count all together!
(1,2,3,4,5,6) On one wing each child put 2 black spots on one wing and three on the
other. How many dots do our ladybugs have? Answer 5. Lets try another lets place 4
spots on one side and 3 the other like this (holds mine up) can someone count how
many are in all? 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Give as many problems to reach the conclusion that
the kids have a good understanding of the content.
3. Closing: After students have had the chance to individually answer and work on the
content have each child place as many dots to come up with their own number.
Once the child places the dots have she/ he raise write their total spots in all on the
bottom of the laminated lady bug and individually check their understanding. Ask
children if they feel confident with addition. Now its time for bathroom break and
now its time for math, which we are working on taking away/ subtraction.
8. Adaptations. Can be for a specific child. If you do not have a specific child in mind,
discuss how you will differentiate instruction for children who struggle with the
content and who finish early. Nathan seems to struggle because he wasn’t engaged
with the first three questions using my ladybug and repeating and practicing counting
how many were in all spots total on my lady bug. By having Nathan work on his own
lady bug he adapted well by paying attention and responding to the material by
counting and saying the answer aloud. Lovayah answered each question relatively fast,
for her I could have given her more advanced problems rather than staying within
equaling ten to create a much more advanced problem. Instead of counting all together
I can ask harder questions what is 3+3 to make it more challenging.
9. Diversity/Multiculturalism/Antibias. This must be human diversity, not through
animals or shapes. Remember, diversity can be related to: gender, culture, race,
religion, ability, language, social class, family structure, LGBTQ status, etc. Literature is
an excellent way that you can incorporate diversity into your lesson.
Diversity was shown within how children work. Some children have better when its more
taught out than independent so with the activity I did I added both diverse learning styles. In
the classroom we talked about Spanish numbers using uno dos, tres.
10. Evaluation of student learning. This should clearly connect to your objectives.

11. Checking the students work and evaluating their comprehension of addition using
objects of adding together. Prompting questions when children struggled with adding all
together. Having the children add and create their own number gives me an
understanding that they understand by doing so and writing the correct answer on
there lady bug.

Reflection Response

After you complete your lesson delivery, respond to the following prompts.

1. How many children did you complete your lesson with? 4 students
2. Based on your planned evaluation of student learning—what do you believe students
learned? What do you believe students struggled with? My planned evaluation of what
the students learned was addition and how to add to get the in all total. I believed they
learned because when they got the hang of in all they answered my questions
affectively and correctly. I did give additional problems that weren’t in my lesson plan to
add additional questions to increase the understanding. I felt kids struggled at first
because they only wanted to add in the one side and when you said how many are in all
they answered the amount on the left side not understanding in all on both wings.
3. What do you feel like went well with your lesson delivery? (list at least 3 things)

I think the lady bug and dots were a way to get the children engaged, all but one child wasn’t
engaged at all times but he struggles with engaging in classroom activities. The overview of
using the orange and apple questions helped me gain the understanding of this lesson that they
learned the day before with the teacher. This helped me deliver questions and how I teach the
lesson and strong/weak points of the four children.

4. What will you do differently next time you deliver this lesson? (list at least 3 things)
5. Overall, describe what you learned from this lesson implementation.
