Weekly Evaluation:

This week, I realized in the area of language, I need to introduce some type of drill for

word families and sight words. For the upcoming week, I will be drilling students on a daily

basis especially for the pre-primer sight words. Knowing to read and put these words together

will help students to write simple sentences. The goal within the next few weeks will be to have

students be able to do simple dictated sentences which would normally be an expectation for

infant 2 students. This week upcoming, I will be focusing on the -ate word family. Students need

to read in order to be able to move forward in a more effective way. I had begun assessing

students using the AA and A level A to Z reading assessments. The majority of the students were

still at AA. I will continue

the assessments this week and start differentiate moving forward in the area of reading to

boost and improve students reading skills.

Most students seemed to have grasped rounding and expanded form n mathematics. I will

still continue to provide reinforcement activities as we move forward. I believe I can provide

more real-life opportunities when I teach problem solving this upcoming week. I am working

toward providing a more authentic learning experience for the students in my classroom. Some

students visibly need an extra push and I’m realizing more clearly their strengths and weaknesses

which will help me tailor lessons to meet the learning needs of each child in the classroom.

elf. Then Erei saw Ella the Owl in the tree. She looked very sad. 
“These are my eggs!” said Ella. “Can you please help me put them back in the nest?”
Erei looked up into the tree and saw the empty nest. “It is too high up,” he said. “I cannot
reach it.”
  “Wait here,” said Ella. Then she flew away. Eleven minutes later she came back with an
empty envelope. In her beak. Ella put an egg in the envelope. Erei used his trunk and very
carefully he put the egg back into the nest.  When all the eggs were in the nest, Ella flew up to
chase the elf away.
A few days later, three beautiful, tiny owls were hatched.

Learning Outcome: 1.20 Transfer weight from one foot to another to maintain balance, while
stationary or traveling, while
Objectives: After warmups students will be able to:
 Balance on one leg without falling
 Demonstrate the ability to perform balancing tasks with precision
 Value the importance of exercising balance when walking or jumping
Concepts: Balance is a key ability to all things' movement such as standing, and running, and
helps us with
completing everyday tasks. It’s quite important, and not just physical balance either; there are
various ways
to observe and experience balance, whether it’s standing on one leg, or carrying out science
experiments
that implement balance physics.
Skills:
 Balance
 Following Instructions
Attitudes:
• Cooperate with peers
• Active participation
• Team player

Roman numbers are written as combinations of these letters.

These letters represent:

Roman numbers can be written in capital (XVI) or in lower case letters (xvi).
There is no zero in Roman numbers.

Introduction: Students will be given a card and markers to play I Spy bingo game.
Development: Activity 1
Write I, V, X on the board and tell the students that:
“I” represents 1
“V” represents 5
“X” represents 10

Tell the students that to read Roman numbers we have some rules.

Repetition of letters (I, V, X) means addition.


When a smaller number is written to the right of a greater number, the smaller is d in the greater.

When a smaller number is written to the left of a greater number, the smaller is subtracted from
the greater.

Write some Roman numbers on the board.

Ask different students to read these Roman numbers.

We can`t write more than three times any smaller number to the right of a greater number.

For example: VIIII can`t be written.

Carry on this activity to practice the reading of first twenty Roman numbers.
Closure: Students will match standard numbers to roman numerals.

Conclusion: Discuss with students something new they learnt.

Extended Activity: Students will complete homework.

Topic (s): Diseases Spread by Mosquito
Sub-topic: Zika

Time: 2:00-2:45 p.m.


Materials: gloves, glitter, projector, concept chart, speakers
References:
Previous Knowledge: Students can identify malaria and dengue as diseases caused my mosquito.
Learning Outcomes: HF 1.15 Describe the symptoms, effects and preventative measures of
diseases spread by mosquitos such as malaria, dengue, zika and chikungunya.
Objectives: Students will be able to:
List some diseases that are caused by mosquitos
Describe the symptoms of Zika
Explain the cause of Zika
Appreciate ways we can destroy/prevent creating mosquito breeding sites in our homes and
school.
Concepts: Zika- a flavivirus (species Zika virus of the genus Flavivirus) typically transmitted by aedes mosquitoes
(especially Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus) that causes a usually mild illness marked chiefly by fever, joint pain,
rash, and conjunctivitis and that has been associated with an increased incidence of microcephaly in infants born to
pregnant women infected with the virus

Preventative Measures
 Use repellents (natural insect)
 Avoid travelling to other countries with breakouts.

Skills: Making inferences, answering questions


Attitudes: cooperate with others, work in groups
Linkages: Math- place value, Belizean Studies- coordinates
Introduction: Students play a hang man game to identify 2 diseases spread by mosquito.

Development: Draw a KWL chart on chart paper. Ask student what they know about the Zika
virus. Write their responses in the K column. When everyone has had a chance to respond, ask
what they would like to know about the virus. Write those responses in the W column.

Show the movie Zika Virus to the whole class on the whiteboard. If necessary, pause to review
on a classroom map or globe where the virus started and where its spread and to discuss key
terms and concepts, such as outbreak, epidemic, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, microcephaly, and
public health emergency.

Next, if you have access to multiple computers or devices, have smalls groups of 2-3 students
watch the movie again within the Make-a-Map feature. As they watch, have them use the Make-
a-Map tools to construct a spider map identifying the following aspects of the Zika virus: What
it is, where it is, how it spreads, symptoms, prevention, etc. If limited computers, you can show
the movie again to the whole class as they take notes offline on a Web graphic organizer.

Now draw students’ attention to the KWL chart. Review the list in the What I Know column and
have them correct any incorrect information. Next, look at the What I Want to Know column and
have students share any new information as you write it in the L column (What I Learned).

Tell students that they’ve been hired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to
create fact sheets about the Zika virus to raise public awareness. Working in the same small
groups, have students divide up the fact sheets so they each work on two topics or questions,
including:

What is the Zika virus?

Where did the Zika virus start and where has it spread?

How is it spread?

What are the symptoms?

Who is at high risk and why?

What is the treatment, or possible future treatments?


What can you do to prevent contracting the virus?

How is Zika being controlled? What are scientists learning about the virus?

Closure: Have students get in groups of four. Pass out cut out letters to each group. (groups will
get letters to spell a disease that humans get from mosquito).ie Malaria, dengue, zika
Each group assembles their letters to spell the target words and place them on the board.

Conclusion: Students read the word the word in choral and share what they know about zika.
Allow students to recall any other diseases that are spread by mosquito.

Extended Activity: Student can access self-paced lesson on nearpod posted on google classroom.
Along with supplementary notes and video.
