My Final lesson in Kindergarten

The third lesson I taught was a writing lesson about using complete sentences when writing. The students had been reviewing throughout the week about what words need to be resent in a sentence to make it complete. In my lesson, we learned that a complete sentence has 2 components. 1) The sentence must include a who or what word, such as "I." 2) The sentence must also include an action word which tells what is happening in the sentence, such at "playing." The students learned that they must use these words in the sentences they write in oreder for their sentences to make sense. I opened my lesson by putting some examples on the board of sentences that were complete, and sentences that were not complete. I found that most of the students were able to identify which sentences were complete and which were not. We then moved onto our journal writing in which I told a story about my plans for Halloween and drew a picture and wrote a complete sentence in the teacher's journal for all the students to see. I made sure to point out that I had used a who/what word as well as an action word in my snetence in order to make the sentence I wrote complete. After giving the students time to work iin their own journals, I was pleased to see that most of them used complete sentences in their writing! For those who struggled with doing so, I spent extra time with them trying to help them come up with a complete sentence in their journals. Throughout the readings that we have done, I have continuously noticed that all of the texts mention how important it is to scaffold your lesson so that all learning styles can be reached. It is utterly important for teachers to do this in order to help each child understand the concepts that are taught to them.
