Project Wet-Wild 22are You Me 22-Lesson Template

The activity could have been improved with smaller groups depending on the individual
students maturity levels. Several of my groups worked together without any issues and
they led their own discussion of which animals matched and why. Other groups that
included some of our problem children had a rather hard time and had to individually
do the activity due to their inability to work together without causing issues.
I would also laminate the cards, especially with my first graders. Several of them would
bend and crumple up the cards without even realizing it or they would fight over them
and tear them. They would need to be laminated if I wanted to use them from year to
year.
Evidence and explanation of ways that you know that learning has occurred
I asked the same questions from the beginning of the lesson at the end of the lesson to
check comprehension. The second time around, they all had the correct answers as
opposed to only one or two students with the correct answer. As I walked from group to
group, the students would show me the matches they had made and explained why they
had decided to put those two animals together. I even had some groups that sorted
them by habitats so that was very encouraging and interesting to see.
