How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation?
For differentiation I gave each group different activity, for example, mastered students created
the frog stages series by using a ribbon. And the glue the pictures under the name of each stage.
For development students have a cards picture. Then the students match the vocabulary to the
pictures. And organize the stages. For emergent, students cut the papers and organize the stages

I use positive reinforcement by said “good job” for the students that participate in the classroom.
To let the others, participate also.

objectives?
Each activity was linked to the lesson. I sat with my MST to ask her to help me on the activates.
