Require Learner Participation

• By making the activities interesting and fun I can

keep the students on task and interested. Also by

making the lessons smaller and less time

consuming the students will be able to focus. By

separating the activities with naptime and snack

time the students will not seem overwhelmed.

Evaluate and Revise

• The evaluation is mostly observation and the activities. These activities will let me evaluate the CSOs. The arts, standard 1 will be evaluated by the songs the students do during group time. The physical health, standard 1 will be evaluated by the art activities were small objects are used. Story time will be used to evaluate the language and literacy standard. The count by numbers activities will be used to evaluate the mathematics standard.
