Lesson idea implementation:

The activity that will be planned in review how to count using random object and our fingers. I will
ask to raise your hand if you know how to count to twenty to start off. The whole class will then
count together twice just to allow the students to interact. I will make them aware of their goals by
saying we need to learn how to count when they are older and by counting as a group. I will then go
over rules of the touch screen devices that I will pass out as the students partner up. They will utilize
this by I will send the link of the eBook to the parents as a review or a portal if that’s available. The
teacher as myself will engage as much as I can and even going around the classroom counting how
many students we have or even classifying it by gender. The feedback from the students will be
asking about the objects I’ve shown and even getting to count by memeory without any help. I will
then conclude the lesson by letting the eBook play.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Reflection: This activity will support and enhance the learning
experience for the students by having an visual representation with counting numbers. This will be
engagement due to the fact at the beginning of the lesson the students are being engage by
counting the numbers together.

This activity will be an impact of the students learning as they will now be confident in counting using
physical object other than just counting out loud. When going over the eBook or even allowing them
partner up to share the touch screen devices. Also posting the link to the portal as a review will be
the implementing with the students.
