Date: 3/22/23 Grade Level: Toddler (6-18 months) Circle one: ECE PKSN

Standard(s)/Guideline(s):

Science Inquiry and Application: Inquiry: Try different things with objects to see what happens or how things work.

Physical well being and motor development: Move with increasing coordination and balance, with or without adult support and/or assistive devices.

Pre-assessment of current knowledge:

I will ask the students and observe the students to see how they choose to move and explore objects as well as their ability to grab items as well as
take note of different music/song options the students respond best to.
Instructional Objectives (2-3)
- Children will be able to move the
scarfs/ribbon/yarn/fabric around them
exploring how they move and what
happens as they move it
- Children will be able to use balance and
coordination to move the
scarfs/ribbon/yarn/fabric around while
the music is playing
Two- Three Assessed Instructional
Objective(s): The student will be able to...
- The children will be able to see how
different objects move in the air around
them moving their bodies around the
room
- The children will be able to see what
happens to the different materials when
they try different movements
Assessment of Student Learning
- I will make note of all the children who
participate in this activity and how they
are going about grabbing the materials.
I will see how they are moving the
materials watching for balance and
coordination.
Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or
record as data to demonstrate students have
met your objective(s) and skill?)
I will record photos and short videos of the
students movements, i will also take notes on
where each child struggled with most and
excelled in most
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate
Learning Experience
- Children will have access to scarfs,
ribbons, yarns, and fabrics while music
will be playing on a speaker near these
items. The children will be able to pick
any of these objects and what happens
when they try different movements in
the air around them while they are
moving their bodies around the
classroom. In order for the children to
see what happens when they try
different movements they will be moving
their bodies but they will also be
encouraged to do this while they are
dancing around with the items. While
they are dancing and moving around
the classroom they will also be working
on their coordination skills and balance.
