Rationale of Reflection

NETS-T VB

Context

I developed a math lesson plan for kindergarten to learn their numbers one to twenty. I typed a four page reflection on this lesson plan. In the reflection I told how I could change the lesson plan to help the children with special needs in the classroom. I reflected on the lesson how it was helpful to children with different learning styles. In my lesson the children play a game called Frogs in the Pool. In the reflection I told how I incorporated technology by after playing the game. The teacher would take the class to the computer lab. In the lab the students would type their numbers one to twenty three different times. Each time they type a set of numbers one to twenty the students are to use a different font style, size and color. This will help the children become more familiar with Microsoft Word. It will also let the children become more familiar with what the numbers look like on the computer. In the reflection I told how this lesson used an instructional strategy. The instructional strategy that I used was experiential learning. The method I used to use experiential learning was playing a game.

Impact

I can use this reflection in my classroom by using the adaptation that I made to the lesson; the strengths and weakness in the lesson to be able to look back and change the lesson to better help all my students. When I become a teacher I can write more reflections so that I can see why I should use this lesson what the lessons strengths and weakness are. I could even let my children write a reflection on the lesson that I taught and get feed back from them to try and better my future lessons.

Alignment

I met NET-T VB by writing a reflection on how my lesson could be improved for the special needs children, improve to incorporate technology, and improve to help the different learning styles. By writing this reflection it let me take a different look at the lesson that I developed.
