Self-evaluation
Today’s lesson went fantastic! Students loved the Easter Egg Hunt activity and did a great
job working with their teammates. Students had a solid understanding of teamwork collaboration
during discussion time and a great comprehension after watching the video of what characters
did well to help each other out. Also, students did a wonderful job of putting these skills into
practice when searching with their team for eggs and objects around the room to win. I was so
proud of my students and their willingness to participate in the activity. At the end of the lesson I
gave students bunny sour patch kids as a reward for their hard work.
This was a great social skills lesson and I love to do more like it in the future! One thing I
would like to do better in the future is extending the activity to have more teamwork building
aspects and challenge my students even more! This lesson did go a little faster than I expected,
but I still made best use of the extra time to chat further with the students about what went well
and didn’t go well in their teams.
