On March 11, 2019, I had the opportunity to return to the school where I had started my pre-internship last semester. For this 3-week block, I was required to plan and teach a unit, teach for a half day, and take part in everyday classroom routines.
My 3-week block landed on the previously scheduled field trip to Boggy Creek and a professional development day, that I also took part in. The unit that I taught was Grade 1 Geometry. The unit consists of the following 13 lessons:
- Pre-assessment: A Shape is Just a Shape
- 2D Attributes and Building Shapes
- I Can Sort! 2D Shapes
- What Am I Made Of? 2D Composite Shapes
- Shapes in Our World
- 2D Shapes Make Up 3D Objects
- 3D Shape Gallery Sorting 3D Shapes
- Guess My Rule Sorting Rules
- Half Day Teaching
- Math Stations Sorting & Building
- Think Aloud Modelled Reading Strategy
- Buddies STEM Challenge: QR Codes & Geo Boards
- Eating Shapes Sorting 2D & 3D Shapes
- Roll, Stack, or Slide 3D Attributes
- Replicate Composite Shape
- Shapingo Attribute Bingo
Below are the assessment rubrics and checklist that I used when teaching the Geometry Unit.
