Reflection
This lesson and assessment align together perfectly with the standards and objectives because when planning my lesson I double checked for alignment. This is very important because is you have a meaning less assessment then you are not doing any justice for your children. This assessment demonstrates that students Have successfully learned the content because this was a student product lesson. This is very important to do because it shows authentic learning. This also shows higher order thinking because you can see how the students are learning and their process. The individual students needs were met because the the lesson was very individualized as well as the products they produced. Overall it was a good lesson and the assessment was very unknown.

Reflection

I used these methods because of the ages of my students. I want to keep students engaged and wanting to learn. I think keeping in mind students and their ages is the most important part of planning. Overall students are the most important part of the learning equation.

My instructional methods are aligned with my best practices because I know my students best as well as myself. I'm keeping students engaged by offering multiple learning opportunities and by offering more difficult things for gifted students. As well as offering options for my students with learning disabilities.

The technologies I use is to engage and allow for my students to learning in a fun environment. This also helps students enjoy what they are doing and want to complete assignments. Overall this is about the students and them learning in this environment.

Reflect on:

Assessing Prior Knowledge: (Discuss the following for this lesson)

• What do the students need to know prior to the lesson? Students need to know about fractions which this would happen in the week this lesson is taught. This lesson would most likely be happening at the end of the week.
• How will prior knowledge and experience be assessed? These will be assessed by a discussion at circle before and after reading the book.
• How will you use this information in the planning process? I will lengthen or shorten the centers based on prior knowledge. If students seem less knowledgeable I will lengthen the centers.

Planning Instruction: (Discuss the following for this lesson)

• Why should the content of this lesson be taught at this grade level? Because they need all the prior knowledge of numbers to understand fractions. Also students don't begin to understand this till numbers really begin to click in their brains.
• How do the objectives that you have for the lesson align with the standards? They align perfectly because I have made sure to connect the standards to my objectives.
• When will the lesson be taught in the course of the school year? Why? Fractions will come after multiplication and dividing because you need to know how and why fractions are used.
