Lesson Plan Supplemental Materials

          For my Lesson Plan incorporating technology, we will be using tablets and the Application called Seesaw to build and instruct our lessons. This application allows visual uploads, pdf files, teacher written content, and even has a recording choice so children can listen to instructions as many times as needed. The excellent part about using an application like this it allows the classroom to self-direct their learning, but it also allows me as a teacher to be more involved with the classroom. I am then able to go back in and check work for comprehension and give feedback.

          We start the lesson itself with KWL charts and looking at books about pumpkins. Then the lesson idea is going through sorting and classifying pumpkins by many different attributes. We have assignments looking at similarities and differences, balancing scales, the inside of a pumpkin, sink or float, big vs small, pumpkin heights, seeds, counting, fine motor skills, and science inquiry skills. The assignment is concluded with a worksheet about “My favorite pumpkin”, which we work through as a class. At the very end I have 4 quiz questions to see the material we have kept. We delve into the following curriculum statement for children ages 3-5. Here is a more detailed view of my lesson plan. 



          I have set up ten activities for over the course of two days in the classroom, our eleventh activity is the “My favorite pumpkin” worksheet to conclude our lesson. I will give the active links for each of my assignments.
Day One:
         Pumpkins on the Scales 
         Pumpkins Sink/Float
         Pumpkin Dissection
Day Two:
         Pumpkins Big and Small
         Seed Investigation
         Melting Pumpkins
         Pumpkin Towers

          We conclude our lesson with a four-question test, children can verbally record responses and interact with their styluses to circle, cross out or write things. Here is the active links for my quiz questions.
Question One: Circle the big pumpkin
Question Two: Which pumpkin is the lightest? Circle the lightest pumpkin.
Question Three: What are these?
Question Four: Draw a picture of two pumpkins. How are they different? Think of size, shape, color and or weight not being the same.
