Name: Brynna Stein Lesson Title: Guess the Sound!

Date: 4/23/23 Grade Level: Preschool Circle one: ECE PKSN
Standard(s)/Guideline(s): Inquiry: “Explore objects, materials and events in the environment”.
Persistence: “Focus on the task at hand even when frustrated or challenged”.
Pre-assessment of current knowledge: See how students engage with the materials & if they ask questions about the materials.

Instructional Objectives (2-3) Assessment of Student Learning Learning Experience

Two- Three Assessed Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as data Academic Language:
Instructional Objective(s): The to demonstrate students have met your objective(s) and
student will be able to... skill?) Vibrations, identify, listen,

- Identify at least 1 of the
materials that is making
sound when being
shaken.
- Continue the activity even
when they are challenged
or frustrated.
- Record data & take anecdotal notes.
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or compile
your evidence into a class or group view?)
Procedural steps:
1. Create shakers with different materials inside, use
an opaque container so students cannot see what is
inside.
2. Have students shake the shaker.
3. Have students try to identify what material is in the
shaker from the images provided to them.

One Assessed Developmental - Collect data to see if students are able to identify at
Skill: least one material’s sound.

- Pick up and shake the Accommodations for diverse learners:

shaker on their own. Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real life, hands-on
- Do not use food in shakers in case of allergies as materials.)
Safety Considerations: well as food insecurities and preventing waste.
- Provide images for students to narrow down Opaque cups with lids, coins, beads, pom-poms
- Make sure lids are possibilities and give ability to point to an image if
secured on the shaker student is nonverbal. Adult Roles:

Reflection: (What have you learned about your students? How will this inform future instruction?)

After completing this activity, I have learned that the students are curious and witty. At the beginning of this activity, some students were trying to peer into the
cups from the small straw holes, I had to quickly adapt and cover the holes with tape so they could not see through. I also found that a large majority of the
students were quick to explore the materials and did not hesitate to pick them up and try to open the lids to look inside. Most of the students were also able to
identify at least one of the materials inside the shakers, just by hearing the noise. Knowing this, I can adapt future instruction by challenging students with items
that make more similar sounds and see if they can identify those as well.
