During my clinical class at Missouri Valley College, I was placed in Mrs. Yokley’s Kindergarten class at Southeast Elementary school. While there, I planned and taught a lesson about chicks to finish up their study on chicks that they had raised. I placed this artifact under the standards #3 because I used some modifications for the children that were ELL and for the boy that was MR. These changes were on the printout of the chick I not only wrote the name of the color I wanted them to color the chick but I also circled the color with the color I wanted. This was for the ones that didn’t know how to read the color words.

I think that this artifact not only was a good wrap up to a longer lesson on chicks but also was a good review of colors. Something I noticed with this lesson that I didn’t plan was the conversation on what colors everyone got. I just handed out the chicks so they got what ever came up first which at first I thought might cause some problems but they were so interested in who was coloring what and who had their same color that they were excited about this project. I also had a poem that when with the colors on the smart board which when their color came up they could show off their chick and they were so proud to do it! I learned a lot from this lesson about how students will enjoy a lesson that is planned out fair to all that are involved.

                                                  

 The smart board lesson I couldn't attach.

The following poem was done in power point and again could be attached so I copied and pasted below

I also read a story about a little chick called "Cheeps Excellent Voyage".

She stands in the barnyard on a big haystack.
