Reflection

I believe overall this lesson went extremely well. The students were able to complete the domino activity, read the book, and answer the readers response questions in just enough time. The one thing I liked that I did this time as opposed to my other lessons, was that I allowed the students to have the chance to read some pages silently to themselves and then discuss and ask them questions after they have read that page. I found this a bit more effective than reading chorally because although reading chorally allows me to hear all the students, it is hard for each child to say in tune with the next and some may feel rushed or pressured if they cannot read as fast. Allowing them to read silently let the children read at their own pace and still get the engagement and reading comprehension by me asking them the questions afterword. The one thing I did not like about my lesson was the fact that when they were finishing up the worksheet it was almost time for lunch so the students were somewhat anxious to get it done so a lot of their spelling was incorrect. I corrected some of it but I really should have went into full detail and had them fix all of their mistakes, not just some, because then they could possibly make these same mistakes next time or think that it is ok to be lazy when writing. I will ensure next time to go over each mistake with the child, even if it runs over time or we have to go over it during RTI time when they return back from lunch.
