Name: Rebecca Hazlett

Grade Level: Second Grade
School: Lost Creek Elementary School
Date: 11/5/2023
Time: 12:00 pm

Reflection from prior lesson: (Even if you did not teach the previous lesson, what did you observe that will
help you prepare and teach this lesson? Were prior objectives met? Were students engaged? How will you
remediate any problems? This should be one paragraph or longer.)

● I know that all these students understand the basic number concepts regardless of their current
knowledge of the English language. This class participates very well in almost all activities. I need to
make sure that the goals of the game are clear for the whole class in order to have the best possible
outcome for emotions. If I start to notice that my student with anger management issues is getting
frustrated with himself or others, I will pull him out of the activity for a couple of minutes to walk around
the edge of the gym or run around the edge. He has the choice he just must still be moving. Students
tend to be engaged in group games like these as long as they understand the goals of the games.
● This lesson will build on the previous lessons by assessing how well the students perform the action of
jumping rope to improve their ability levels, locomotor, non-locomotor movements, fitness concepts,
and teamwork

Contextual Factors/ Learner Characteristics: (Eg. How many boys vs. girls, students on IEPs, ELLs [English
Language Learners], students on behavior plans, characteristics of the class such as talkative, high-poverty,
etc.).(what will I do because of any problems that might arise because of these differences)

● There are about the same number of boys as there are girls in this class. To be more specific there are
10 girls and 10 boys.
● There are 5 children that are English Language Learners. All of them are native Spanish speakers. Two
of them are doing very well in their English progress while the other three are still struggling quite a bit.
● We don’t have any students on an IEP yet. However, there is a student that has extreme anger
management issues. Both of these issues can lead to disruptions for the whole class from time to time.
● The class as a whole is talkative and excited to get moving. There are a couple individuals that do not
enjoy Physical Education because of the running and movement involved.
● This group as a whole fits in the middle class with a couple students falling in the lower middle class. All
the children seem to come to class fed and well dressed in clothes that fit.

Lesson Goal(s) / Standards: MAIN FOCUS OF THIS LESSON

● The students will work on their skills of jumping rope and working with other members of a team. They
will combine the use of jumping rope with math concepts of addition and some subtraction. This will
include the academic integration of mathematics in the lesson.
Lesson Objective(s): (The objective(s) should be measurable). (what is the WHOLE standard)

SWBAT, do what, and how will know that they are successful.

● Psychomotor
○ develop their rhythmic abilities by swinging the rope for their partners at a consistent beat.
■ S1.E5 - Locomotor Rhythmic Activity: performs a student or teacher designed activity
with correct responses to rhythms.
○ Improve basic locomotive movements by both jumping rope and swinging rope for peers
■ S1.E3 - Jumping: demonstrates four of the five critical elements for jumping and landing
in a horizontal an vertical plane using a variety of one- and two-feet take offs and
landings.
● Cognitive
○ Understand basic math equations and demonstrate proficiency performing said equations
○ Develop basic level of understanding of why mathematics is an important part of everyday life
outside the classroom
● Affective
○ Exhibit sportsmanship and teamwork by participating in activities and encouraging their
teammates in a positive manner
■ S4.E5 - Rules and etiquette in teacher-designed physical activities
○ Provide and receive constructive feedback with their team members
■ S4.E3 - Accepting Feedback: accepts specific corrective feedback from the teacher.

Assessment: (The assessment should directly measure the objective).(must be specific about what I will use
to assess students. )

● I am performing a pretest assessment that analyzes…

○ How many hops my students can get over a moving jump rope without messing up.
○ The pretest will be compared to their results at the end of the unit.

Materials Needed & DIAGRAM LAYOUT

● Jump ropes (shorter)

● Double dutch ropes (longer)
● Basic math concept flashcards
● 5 cones of squad lines
● Dice
● Foam gym dice
● Pedometers

Connection(s) to Research & Theory: (What learning theory or research-based method supports your
chosen methodology or assessment? Explain how this theory was used to help develop this lesson.)

● Kinesthetic learning is when movement is incorporated into learning so that students can perform better
in the classroom. It is based on the research that movement increases brain activation and can lead to
a better mind and body connection. These are necessary for learning and memory because it increases
the amount of BDFNs in the brain. These are what essentially help the brain take in information.
 ● Essentially this follows the humanistic approach to learning because the whole student will be focused
on instead of just their learning. These lessons focus on their physical health and their minds. I
recognize the importance of getting the students moving in my class so their brains are active for their
classes to follow. .

A. The Lesson

● Introduction (include time allotment) WARM UP (4 minutes)

○ Welcome students to gym with the dot system. (they must walk across the dot that represents their
feelings before class. Green is a smiley, yellow is a frown, red means angry, blue means sad.) This
allows me to gauge how my students are feeling.
○ I will say, “Good afternoon Second Grade!” They respond, “Good afternoon Ms. Hazlett!”
○ Begin the daily warm-up by lining up on the endline. Start with shoulder taps, Eagle-jacks (jumping
jacks), and tornadoes (russian twists).
○ Have the students run two laps around the gym and sit back on the line when they are done.

● Content Delivery (include time allotment & instructional methodologies) BODY OF LESSON more
specifics
○ Single Rope (4 minutes)
i. To warm up the students’ hopping abilities, they will perform a variety of jumps with the
single person ropes. These may include, but are not limited to hop, jump, single-leg hop,
crisscross jump, double jump. Encouraging students of different levels to try a new jump
○ Follow Me (5 minutes)
i. Students will partner up. They will mirror their partner’s jumps for about a minute. After that, the new partner
will lead. Students will find a new partner to show their skills and mirror with.
○ Secret Number (7 minutes)
i. Hand out number cards to every student with a random number written on it. Students must
try to find a classmate with the same number as them. They will approach a classmate by
asking what their number card is. If their numbers do not match, they must perform the
number of jumps on their cards combined. If they do match, they only have to do the number
of jumps on their card.
○ Climb the Mountain (5 minutes)
i. Students will be in their squad groups for this relay related activity. The objective is to “climb
the mountain.” This means they have to hit every level of the mountain. They Sinsend out
the first jumper to jump five times. The next person has to reach the next level by jumping
ten times. Each consecutive person has to jump an additional five times (5, 10, 15, 20, 25).
After that, the students must make it down the mountain levels by decreasing the number of
jumps (25, 20, 15, 10, 5). The goal is to be the first team to conquer the mountain.
 ● Closure (include time allotment) (4 minutes)
○ Students will participate in Jump for Joy activity in which students will line up and individually say
something they are thankful for or a positive moment from their day. The teacher will acknowledge
their joyful moment and have them jump ten joyful jumps before.

○ Students will fold their individual short ropes that have been used throughout the day and put them
in a pile.

○ Students will line up at the door and get a drink before heading back to their classroom.

B. Differentiated Instruction
How can you change RULES, BOUNDARIES, EQUIPMENT to make the lesson more inclusive to ALL!
● Adaptations for students with special needs or not meeting expectations
○ I will make sure that my student with anger management issues is respectful with his peers at all
times. He should be fine.
● Adaptations for those exceeding expectations
○ If a student can already jump rope very well, we can spend less time on the snake game and
just have them.
○ If a student is really good at jumping I can try to make their amount of jumps higher than their
peers for the relays.
● Language Support (IF you have ELLs (English Language Learners))
○ I can have our more comfortable ELL students next to the ones that are not as strong in English
yet so they can translate and help if needed. I can also shout out the numbers in Spanish
occasionally so they have to help their peers that don’t know Spanish.
