the number they call in case of an emergency and then be reciting their addresses
and phone numbers.
(Throughout the day: call students back to my desk and test them on their
memorization/verbalization of their addresses, phone numbers and 911)
(Students will be sent home with a certificate of achievement, as well as a note if
they needed help on their memorization. This will be a reminder for parents to
continue working on this information at home)
(circle the bubble at the end of the test that says if students could remember their
phone numbers, addresses, and 911)

Your reflection on the lesson including ideas for improvement for next time:
-I was pleased with how students did on this summative assessment. I could see that my
objectives were covered throughout my lessons with the way students performed on the test.
Some students needed help on the memorization of their phone numbers and addresses, but
most did very well. For the students that needed extra help, I wrote a note home to the
parents to continue working on this memorization at home. This note just stated that
students needed a little help and should continue practicing at home. Overall, students did
well and I was pleased with their learning. They all had fun sharing their favorite thing they
learned in our circle and also enjoyed the story on the iPad.
