activity.
At this point in the lesson, I will not be assessing the students,
as this is an introduction to what we will be doing for today. A
story tends to be a great transition for the students between
lessons and allows them to get into the science mind. This
learning activity almost acts as an assessment of prior
knowledge as I am touching on things that students should be
aware of based on previous lessons.
In order to differentiate this lesson, students may require some
guided questions when discussing during the story.
Discussion of the story/Transition into the building
activity
Today we are going to build houses, and instead of it
being the house that jack built; it will be the house that
you built.
Yesterday we were architects and now today we are
builders.
Explain to students what we will be doing and show
them an example of what we will be making.
Ensure that the students know that their house does not
need to look identical to Miss Bensons.
Show them all of the materials that we will be using and
explain the expectations of the students when we are
creating.
Once students are aware of the expectations, have one
student from each row come grab the cereal boxes for
their row and hand them out and students can get to
work.

Loved how this lesson turned out!! A major success that helped this lesson
was passing the materials out as students needed them, and also step-bystep instructions as a majority of students finished. Something that also
helped motivate students was the use of positive reinforcement. I was so
concerned for this lesson as building an object can be a lot for a grade 1
student.. Breaking the steps up and going slow helped students not to
become overwhelmed. We were unable to finish our houses completely, but
we ended at a perfect spot as I can introduce an important topic (door
hinges) and then finish. (Touches on KSA 6). With having step by step
procedure, KSA 5 was met as students were able to move on if they were
done and if they werent/t quite finished then they could keep working.
Overall very happy with this lesson I have been focusing on my use of
vocabulary and trying not to use can you? or will you? Also, my time
management seemed to be much better during this block as I was able to
actually do a closure. Progress
