This course provides language development opportunities in the four skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), in representing, and in viewing. Initial emphasis will be on developing oral language skills but all literacy readiness skills are incorporated.
Furthermore, since basic numeracy skills are needed for everyday communication and academic life, these students will gain awareness of the relationship between language and numbers. Students will have the chance to explore a range of practical and academic math applications. Students will have opportunities to develop basic English language skills for communicating about self, family, school and community as well as the literacy, language and skills needed for .eventual participation in ELA and other content areas. Finally, this course helps students develop confidence to learn in a formal setting and reduce the gap between the students’ age and the target academic skills for their age group.

Students will be utilizing the program Musescore (a program available to download for free) to create a composition for their instrument. They will utilize the instant feedback given by the computer program to make adjustments to their piece until they are satisfied with how it sounds. It will allow them to create music in a structured environment that will force them to have an understanding of rhythm as well as the limits of both their playing and their instrument in a risk free environment. Students, upon completing their assignments will then need to perform their short song for the class. After a students has completed the solo assignment, they will have an understanding of how to use them Musescore and will allow them to move onto a more collaborative activity.

Students created an “all about me” book as a summative assessment from various lessons that I taught as part of an "all about me" UBD. We had many books and videos learning about others, and themselves, they also brought various items for show and tell, etc. The focus was more on writing or drawing pictures as part of a book for the final assessment of the UBD. I thought it would be way better to do a small page and use Aurasma instead of creating a booklet. Now that I think about it- a booklet seems pretty outdated, but at the time, it seemed like a good final assessment to wrap up the unit. Students would be filling in the page I have attached to this document (or use a different template), and then creating a video through the Aurasma app to talk more about themselves. This incorporates some of the 7 C’s by allowing students to be innovative, and emphasize communication by using technology and developing digital technologies. I think this is more innovative in terms of assessing and allows for teaching 21st century skills in a Kindergarten setting. The picture can hang in the classroom, but when using the Aurasma app, parents, teachers and students can access their video by scanning the photo using the app. The rubric was made with smiley faces- sad, neutral, happy, I would keep this rubric the same, it’s easy for students to understand.

We read the story “Leaf Man” by Lois Ehlert. While reading, we discussed the various animals and objects that the artist created using leaves. After the story we brainstormed other animals. We then took it a step further and imagined we were someone/something else and again brainstormed what we might see in the leaves. Students then created works of art using leaves.
