Content TEKS:  §110.3. English Language Arts and Reading, Grade 1

(1) In Grade 1, students continue to develop their oral language and communication skills and move to becoming independent readers and writers. First grade students listen attentively and connect their experiences and ideas with information and ideas presented in print. Students listen and respond to a wide variety of children's literature, including selections from classic and contemporary works. The stories and informational books students hear introduce them to new vocabulary. Students recognize the distinguishing features of stories, poems, and informational texts. First grade students continue to develop their concepts of how print connects with spoken language. Students understand that spoken language is composed of sequences of sounds and that those sounds are represented by letters. Students can name the letters and know the order of the alphabet and associate sounds with the letter or letters that represent them. Students learn most of the common letter-sound correspondences and use this knowledge to help them decode written words. First grade students regularly read (both orally and silently) in texts of appropriate difficulty with fluency and understanding. Students demonstrate their comprehension by asking and answering questions, retelling stories, predicting outcomes, and making and explaining inferences. First grade students become adept writers. Students know the difference between words, sentences, and paragraphs. First grade students can organize their thoughts and ideas into complete stories or reports. Students use subjects and verbs and are able to write complete sentences using basic capitalization and punctuation. First grade students become more proficient spellers as they learn to spell a number of high-frequency words and words with regularly spelled patterns. The students' messages move from left-to-right and from top-to-bottom and are written with increasing control of penmanship.

Reflection Time: Use the following questions to reflect on your lesson.

Questions to Ponder:?

 

Was this lesson worth doing? Yes. Misti was very receptive to working on a lesson, implementing technoloty into the

Student-centered application.

In what ways was the lesson effective? The lesson helped Misti Necessary get focused and organized. But, it probably

Helped me more than Misti. The process certainly helped me learn procedures in mentoring.

What evidence do you have for your conclusion? I see evidence in the responses I can now make to questions concerning

Mentoring scenarios. The jargon is becoming familiar to me. Also, Misti’s lesson is all related back to the reinforcement of

Learning the sounds A-E.

How would you change this lesson for teaching it again? I would not change the lesson.

Did your students/educators find the lesson meaningful?  Misti Necessary expressed to me that she thoroughly enjoyed working in the mentoring-mentee process and that it certainly aided her in preparation and organization.

Did the lesson motivate your students/educators to “go beyond” what was required  Although Misti is an exceptional young teacher, I do think she made her lesson a little more detailed because we were working together.

Did you achieve your goals met/in progress in the required criteria? I feel that my goals were met for as we met for our recorded conference, I felt comfortable, and found that I included everything in the session that I had wanted to cover. Actually, I was a bit nervous before we started, but as we proceeded, I felt confident and at ease, as I feel that Misti did.
