Literacy, Language & Physical (small motor
skills) Domain:
I feel as a Universal Pre-K and Nursery school teacher that the first and one of the best
places to start when it comes to teaching children how to read is to begin with
their own name. A child’s name has personal value and meaning to them, it gives
them a sense of being. When learning their own name, they will be able to place
their belongings in the correct areas and folders, know where to find their belongings.
Knowing their name on objects lets the child understand that these are things
that belong to them and only them.
Measurable Learning Outcomes for a Hypothetical Unit
of Study: Pre-K/Nursery school
Write At Least Three Measurable learning Outcomes
for a Hypothetical Unit of Study and Grade Level of Your Choosing.
Grade Level: Pre-K/Nursery School
1st Measurable Learning Outcome: The student will
identify the letters of his/ her name with 100% Accuracy.
2nd Measurable Learning Outcome: The student will
recite aloud the letters of his/ her with 100% accuracy.
3rd Measurable Learning Outcome: The student will
write the letters of his/ her name with 100% accuracy.
Learning
Activities to Support Learning Outcomes:
1.) Fishing
for Letters: Each Child will have a laminated name card with their picture on
it (except their own picture). For example we can use a school bus or an apple.
Using a magnetic fishing pole, with magnetic alphabet letters, students will
have the opportunity to fish for letters and match those same letters to
letters on their name card.
2.) When children have completed task number one, by
matching letters they have fished for, they will recite each letter of their
name as they transition from Large-group time by choosing where they want to
play during free-play.( this is allowing the children understand where they are
in the play centers and who they are with)
3.) When
children have chosen the center they would like to play in, they will sign in
on a clipboard using their name tags as a point of reference and hang up their
name cards that they matched letters when playing the fishing for letters game,
and recited during Large-group time.
