Money Posters!

Placement: Thornhill Public School

Purpose

To create unit posters to hang up around the classroom.

Task

On Thursday March 23, the classroom teacher will be away and I will be leading the math lesson (which will be focused on their new unit, Money). By creating the posters, I will have a better understanding of what the children will be learning (their learning goals) and what they will need to accomplish (their success criteria).

Objectives

• To create neat and organized posters that include all of the information on the unit that will be explored.

• To gain an understanding of the learning goals and success criteria before planning a lesson for the children.

• To assist the teacher in preparing for the lessons that will take place after the March break.

Description

In the past, I have created the posters for other units and the teacher seemed to enjoy my primary printing. She asked me if I would be able to write up another poster for the upcoming math unit and I happily agreed. I wrote down the learning goals and the success criteria for the Money unit and I was able to understand what the children will be learning after the March break.

Materials:

• Chart paper

• Markers

Reflection

I feel that this administrative task was very helpful as I now have more insight on what the children will be learning and I will be able to plan a more effective learning experience for them. Although the grade 1’s and 2’s have slightly different learning goals and success criteria, I feel that I will be able to plan an inclusive lesson for all of the children in the class.
