1) Within my second micro lesson which is a science lesson geared towards first graders I will be accessing their prior knowledge by asking them inquiry questions. I will ask them to tell me what they already know about the ocean, forest, and desert habitats. I will also show them a fish to spark their thought process.
2) the goal within this lesson is to have my students understand animal habitats and clearly exhibit their understanding. The common core standard will be completed and my student will be able to tell me which animals and plants live in which habitat.
3) The lesson is organized by the nau's 5 e lesson plan. The objective and materials are listed along with how to engage the students and the procedure. This layout is a very effective lay out for teaching a science lesson. I will use visual aids throughout the lesson for one being the video and the others are the little manipulatively that the students will use to explore the different habitats. The students will use what they explore to complete and draw different artifacts of each habitat onto their habitat worksheet.
4) the assessment will be that the students will use stickers to complete the worksheet. They will take stickers and place them onto the correct habitats just like they drew during the lesson. This will be a great way for the students to not feel as pressured that it is an assessment but rather be creative and use what they just learned to shoe the teacher what they now know.

Blog Phase II
1). Instructional Decision Teaching - What I did during my lesson worked very well. I first decided to have the students start with a worksheet to assess their abilites and prior knowledge. I then worked with the students in the board and went through examples together to show modeling. I learned that alot of student's are well aware of the money aspect of math because they deal with money on a regular basis. I maintained the alignment of the objectives by constantly having them be aware of the value of every coin and how change is made. They completed the objective as a pre activity, during the lesson and also at the end of the lesson. There were no modifications that were needed for indiviual needs.
2.) The evidence became apparent that the objectives were being understood by having the students participate indivually and as a group to solve problems together. They also were not able to move on to the next level in the technology part of the lesson without getting at least five correct and by walking around the room the children were assessed informally by observing the amount of questions answered correctly and incorrectly being that they were posted on the screen to view. The comments from my classmate support this view because they agreed that that informal assessment is the best way to know if the students are understanding the material or not. I noticed while teaching this lesson that the students were not under pressure prefomring the informal assessment so I felt that they were assessed more fairly. Also, the student's seemed to move on to medium much faster than I even anticipated meaning that they for sure understood the material. They were also given a formal assessment at the end involving a worksheet. They were to complete the worksheet and that would be yet another way to assess the children's understanding of the material being presented.

1) In my lesson prior expierence will be assess by providing a worksheet or a pre-test to ensure that the students can understand currency. This will give me as the teacher an idea of where my students are and if i need to back track alittle bit to help them understand what is to come. I expect to learn their understanding of the values of each coin and currency. This information is useful in order to plan my lesson due to the fact that if I do need to step back and reteach what the values of each coin are I can plan for that in my lesson.
2) My goals are clearly stated in my lesson. These goals are that I want my students to come out of this math lesson and be able to use values of currency to solve word problems. These are apprproate for students because in the common core standards 2.md.2 it states that students should be able to solve word problems involving currency.

This lesson is organized by breaking down each indiviual step that goes into desgining a lesson. All meterials and resources are listed, the procedure is listed as well as any state standards that are implemented in this lesson. I not only will use visual aids on both worksheets and by providing an example on the board but will also include interactive opeprtunities for my students. This aligns with technology due to the funbrain.com website which uses a program to engage students. This site is both safe and legal and uses technonolgy in the appropriate fashion. It will also not allow any students any interaction with strangers or other students and is individual based. This site does meet all diverse needs of the students because it is interactive and handson while being visual at the same time. The one item this website does not address would be the global awareness and digital age communication because there is no way to communicate with others.

This quiz will provide students the oppertunity to show me exactly what they have learned from the lesson provided. This quiz does not nessesarity provide higher level thinking only because in math I think that all students needs to understand the concept first make sure the concept is fully understood and then later on provide higher level of thinking oppertinities.
