and asked students what they knew.

9:21 am: Students engaged in partner sharing.

9:22 am: T engaged student in discussion using a big book.

9:24 am: T said to listen and make pictures in their heads (visualization). She would ask students questions.

9:25 am: T asked the title of the book and what the book was about.

9:29 am: The T kept reading.

9:33 am: T read from the book and asked questions.

9:36 am: The story ended, and the T asked what happened at the beginning of the story. She asked who could tell
someone else about the story.

9:38 am: T asked if students could retell the story.

Lesson conclusion.

Strengths:
 Positive and supportive actions and verbal reinforcement: Good job.
 Classroom management actions and verbal reinforcement: If you can hear me touch your head…eyes on
me. Class, class. 3, 2, 1. Would you go sit by X? You guys are talking. You’re going to be right here. Oh,
no Ms. W’s class. Stopping lesson to regroup students. I’m glad you’re not talking to your friends right now.
Can you tell me about that during recess?
 Supportive and encouraging tone of voice. I need you to go sit over there.
 Stating the learning goal at the onset of the lesson prepares learners for content/learning goals
 Eliciting prior knowledge about dinosaurs prepares students for learning and builds a connection to learning
goals.
 Use of big books with enlarged print/pictures captures student attention, is high interest and increases
comprehension
 Coaching cognition by “visualizing” pictures in their heads. “That’s what good readers do.” Close your eyes
and think about what it would be like..what it would sound like..imagine in your head what that would look
like.”
 Integrating literacy to support the learning goal promotes retention and comprehension.
 Use of timer to communicate amount of time, is respectful to learner and builds urgency.
 Partner share increases cognition, language and builds social skills and changes the type of student
engagement within a lesson.
 Making predictions about the content of the book increases higher level cognition and engages students in
the content of the book
 Telling students what to focus on increases comprehension and focus: at the beginning, middle, end of
story.
 Using academic language and key vocabulary: fiction, non-fiction, visualization, curious
 Telling students actions/skills to engage in because “that’s what good readers do.”
 Demonstrating empathy for student that did not get to respond and allowing him to answer (a strategy might
be to tell him what he has to say is important and save it for the end of the lesson).
 Guided questioning during the reading of the big books guides student thinking and targets specific content.
Making predictions about the rockslide.

Opportunities for Growth/Ideas to Implement:

 Obs. 3: Visuals and/or graphic organizers provide organization and clear diagram of content. A visual
showing beginning, middle and end would support and guide students toward learning goal mastery. The
graphic organizer would be the framework for their answers which could be illustrated, presented verbally or
written with support. Having a graphic organizer to model first, then engage student input and ultimately
have them fill in their own would cement the sequence. This could be modeled in the I do, We do format
before allowing students to engage in You do.
Graphic organizers ( http://www.inspiration.com/visual-learning/graphic-organizers) are highly effective tools and can
be implemented in any lesson. They visually present organized information to promote meaning and
comprehension. Graphic organizers present material through the visual and spatial modalities and help
students internalize what they are learning. Creating a strong visual picture, graphic organizers support
students by enabling them to literally see connections and relationships between facts, information, and
terms. Our minds create structures to store newly acquired information and connect it to previous
knowledge. The graphic organizers are visualizations of these mental storage systems and serve to support
students in remembering and connecting information. When students remember and assimilate information,
they can delve into more critical thinking. How could these diagrams be integrated into the lesson?
 Obs. 2: Partner or pair/share takes practice and should be modeled with shorter “sharing” times for young learners. When reading about the
animals going into the mitten…this would be a good time for partner share within 15 seconds to tell what animal may come in next. Practice one
word responses within pair/share to allow practice and mastery. These answers and timelines can then, be extended.
Modeling expected student performance. Would it be possible to model pair/share with an assistant or a student for others to see? This could be
done within the lesson or times throughout the day with other content areas or tasks. Practicing pair/share could be done with any area, such as,
clean up time. Partners could tell each other what they will do to clean their area and then, proceed. After the task, ask them to share if they did
what they said they would do to clean and if their area is clean.
At one point, students were asked to write their names on their papers. This would be a good time to practice a type of partner communication by
asking neighbors/partners to look at their neighbor’s paper and thumbs up if there is a name on it. This would be practice and scaffolding to
pair/share activities.

One aspect that could ensure increased desired behaviors is to allow Think Time. Students need dedicated time (10 seconds) to gather their
thoughts before engaging. This will increase the time to come up with appropriate ideas and decreases anxiety about speaking at the spur of the
moment for some learners. Think-Pair-Share promotes student to student discourse. This strategy enables students who may need time to process
or think about the question and formulate an answer, the opportunity to do so and not be hurried along, or have another student call out the answer.
This strategy provides students the opportunity to think and develop answers to the question, articulate their thoughts, participate in discussion, think
at higher levels and become much more engaged in the learning process.

 Obs. 2: Sentence stems and cloze activities promote language, increase student engagement and cognition and supports learner success.
Young writers can be supported through sentence stems to provide scaffolded support for writing. Are young writers able to begin writing with
sentence frames that include First, Next, At the end to support their writing? Sentence stems are intended to facilitate students' participation in
academic conversations, writing and support students to develop the language expected in school. Sentence frames, starters and signal words
can help students be more successful in learning both content and academic language. Sentence frames provide an opportunity for students to use
key vocabulary while providing a structure that may be higher than what they could produce on their own.

Sentence stems are a learning scaffold that can help students respond (orally and through writing) using complete sentences. These are a couple
of examples gleaned from the internet. There are so many others that could support young writers.
 Obs. 1: Teacher to student discourse occurred in the lesson. Teacher to student is when there is direct instruction and guided questioning. When
the teacher asks one student to answer, this is Teacher to Student discourse. Would it be possible to integrate Student to Student discourse?
Student to student discourse is when a student turns to a partner and shares an idea. This increases student engagement, discourse, cognition
and builds social skills. Instead of engaging students to individually respond to the teacher, would it increase student engagement to have them turn
to a neighbor and quickly share an idea, such as, “Turn to a partner and tell them what you would do if a frog jumped on your lap. You have ten
seconds.” When students share with each other, they need specific guidelines, timelines and think time first. Give students ten seconds to think of
an answer, have partner 1 tell his idea within ten seconds. Then, have student 2 tell student 1, her answer. Increasing student to student
discourse, in lieu of asking one student to answer would increase language and engagement in learning goal/vocabulary.
 Real time assessment is necessary to gauge student learning during the lesson. A real time assessment can be done through student responses,
visual cues, kinesthetic cues (thumbs up, sideways, down) to indicate thinking/answers. Students can be asked to quickly turn to their partners and
provide a one-two word response while the teacher listens. When these informal, real time student assessments demonstrate mastery, the next
segment or step toward learning goal mastery can be implemented and evidenced. Real time assessing students will reflect whether to proceed,
continue engagement or back track and review as necessary. What did the real time assessments demonstrate for overall student learning in
today’s lesson.? Which students struggled, which maintained level of learning needed and which needed enrichment to advanced levels?

 Obs. 1: Vocabulary and academic language are similar but, very different. Which words were the academic language and which were content
vocabulary? Have students engage in both types of vocabulary. Students can articulate what she will be engaged in/learning goals along with
targeted academic language. An example is, “I will make predictions.” Engage students in discourse using both academic and content vocabulary
to increase retention and comprehension

The lesson included many effective strategies. Thank you for allowing me to visit during this difficult period.
