Purpose: Purpose:
Reason for developing learning experience.
This could be in response to an observation, The purpose of this activity is that children will be learning about colour recognition
discussion with the site supervisor, Ontario and identification in a fun way. They will think they are helping the penguin out and
Curriculum Objective,etc. actually be learning along the way, not only about colours but also the importance of
wearing your hat outside when its cold.
Observation
-Document what you saw and heard
-Document non-verbal communication
(i.e., body language, facial expressions and
voice tone) Observation:
-Document in detail: who, what, where and
when I saw that when children are playing outside, they all often tend to take their hats and
-Documentation should be written in past gloves off repeatedly. The teachers and I are continuously running after them trying to
tense, objective and in anecdotal format put their things back on so that they dont get cold and fall ill. This activity is an
attempt to teach them the importance of dressing warm before going outside.

Discussion
-Document the discussion between you and
your site supervisor that led to the planning

OR

Curriculum Objective
Describe the curriculum objective youre
aiming to meet/enhance through this

Learning Experience
What are you planning in response to your
purpose?
-Label your experience (e.g. Painting with
cars).
-What are your 3 objectives for this
experience? (i.e. What interests are you
extending? What strengths and opportunities
for growth are you enhancing/supporting?)
Please Note: You should refer to
appropriate pedagogy to support your
discussion around strengths and
opportunities for growth (e.g. ELECT,
How Does Learning Happen, Ontario FDK
Curriculum , etc).
Describe the experience:
-Who will be involved in the experience?
-Where will the experience take place?
(e.g. Indoors or Outdoors? In the Dramatic
centre, the creative table, etc.)
Learning Experience: Children will be called to the carpet for circle time and given
a scenario about penguins going outside to play but not being able to find their hats.
Children will be asked to find the hats by choosing which colour hat goes with what
penguin my matching it with their scarfs.
Objectives:
Children will learn to identify, name, recognize and match colours
They will learn about dressing warm outdoors
Colour Recognition- beginning to identify various colours
Cognition
4.9 Sorting- matching items by properties
Social
(1.3)Parallel Play- playing in close proximity to peers without an exchange of ideas or
things
Setting: The experience will take place inside the classroom and the entire class will
be involved. The children will be seated at the carpet.
Materials:
Penguin Cut-outs
Penguin hats

-List the materials and resources you will use
-Describe the implementation of the
experience, with a step by step description
-List and describe 2 teaching learning
strategies. How will you use them? Why have
you chosen these strategies?
Implementation:
- The teacher will call all the children to carpet where they will be seated for circle
time
-The teacher will then create a story such as Oh look, the penguins have to go play
outside and need to find their hats, Can you help find which hat goes on what
penguin so they arent cold outside
-Then the teacher will call on each student to find one penguin hat
-After the children think they have the right one, they will tell the teacher what colour
it is and see if they are correct
-This process will be repeated for all the children
-Then the teacher will thank the children for finding the hats and explain how
penguins wont be cold anymore
-The teacher will then go wash their hands
2 Teaching Learning Strategies:
Challenges-This is the open ended version of the do-it signal. The educator
motivates children to find their own solutions by saying things like can you show
me how to etc.
Behaviour Reflections- this is when the teacher gives descriptive feedback to the
child about what they are doing which helps them during the task to know if what
they are doing is right or wrong.
