Lesson #: ___8
1. Content Standard(s) addressed by this lesson:

Kindergarten Standards: 2.1.a.iii

Second Grade Standards: 2.1.a.iv, 2.1.b.iv, 2.3.a.vii

2. ABCD Objective (Use Evidence Outcomes from the standard as a starting

point)
Create your lesson objective for the focus of the guided reading lesson for the week (e.g.
word work for March 7-11)
After reading The Spooky Swamp Sound, The student will be able to tell me how the
characters felt at the beginning of the story, before they knew what the sound was, and
at the end of the story, when they figure it out.
3. Attach written/typed lesson plan either from the The Next Step in
Guided Reading text, or an approved format.
4. Lesson Reflection:
1. To what extent were lesson objectives achieved? (Utilize running record data
to justify the level of achievement)
The student was able to give me accurate character descriptions of the animals in the
book. She was able to identify fear in the animals before they knew where the noise was
coming from. She was also able to identify happiness and relief in the characters after
they found out that the noise was just a little girls paddle in the water.
1. What changes, omissions, or additions to the lesson would you make if you were to
teach again?
I ended up having to introduce two new books today, because we had already read
through the new book before we got our iPad. I think the lesson went a little too long
reading three books, doing word work, and writing a sentence all in one sitting. I could
tell The student was getting antsy at the end. She didnt even want to write Kai a note at
the end, which she is usually really excited about. I think she just wanted to be done.

1. What do you envision for the next lesson? (Focus on next steps that align with your
evidence outcome. For example: Next week for word work, I will)
Next time I want to try using the SWBS comprehension strategy. The student was really
excited about the five-finger retell when I first introduced it to her, but the novelty of it
has worn off and she doesnt get as excited anymore. Im hoping she likes SWBS as
much as she like the five-finger retell at the beginning of the semester.
