Rational:
For this artifact, the lesson that I chose promotes sounds in a spoken language. This lesson follows the birth-through five model because it supports empathy, kindness, and respect. Phonological awareness is a critical skill for early literacy development, and ensuring it is culturally responsive in the classroom is essential. In my classroom we acknowledge and celebrate the diverse cultural identities of students. Even though I have students whose home language is Spanish, however, there aren’t any ELL students in the class. We embrace language variation and encourage students to share words and sounds from their native languages, for example we say Hola and Adios. Phonological awareness provides the foundation for understanding how spoken language translates into written words. The students and I did a rhyming activity, we listened to the Jack Hartman Rocco the Rhyming Rhino Song, then we sat on the floor and I called out two words if it rhyme they gave me the thumbs up. If it didn’t they put their thumbs down. Then the students made up their own words. I selected this artifact because it shows what I have learned about NAEYC Standard 5 I understand that phonological awareness plays a crucial role in early literacy development, especially for preschool-aged children. From years of doing my own personal research, I have found different ways to incorporate phonological awareness into the classroom. I wanted to create a lesson that would be fun, enjoyable and engaging in a small group setting. This learning experience connected to their previous learning of singing nursery rhymes (ex. Jack & Jill, Wheels on the Bus). This artifact also demonstrates CEC Standard 2 Learning Environment, I do not have any students in my class with disabilities. The activity was created for all students regardless of their ability. The learning environment is safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive so that my students will become effective learners. The learning objective is to make learning relevant for all students. At the end of the activity, we looked for pictures in our classroom, and created rhyming words for them. Afterwards, we continued to play the rhyming word game during recess.

How does this learning experience connect to previous learning? What do you know about the children’s everyday experiences, cultural backgrounds, practices, and interests? |
|
|
Children have everyday experiences with rhyming through the music that they hear. As babies they listened to nursery rhymes and lullabies. Rhyming words play a crucial role in children’s language development. When children encounter rhyming words, they engage in mental processes that require them to remember the previous word and match it to the next one. This cognitive activity strengthens their memory and helps them recognize patterns in language.

How does the learning experience follow the Birth-Five equity model? How will the lesson engage young children in culturally responsive and anti-bias educational experiences? |
|
|
In order to engage my students in a culturally responsive and anti-biased educational experience, we listen to multicultural music and music from different genres that promotes empathy, kindness, and respect. While listening to the music, we are listening for the words that rhyme with each other.

|
|
What is the learning objective? State in your own words what learning outcomes will be achieved by the end of this learning experience.
|
|
|
Students will be able to manipulate words and sounds to create simple rhymes. Students will be able to recognize rhyming words in nursery rhymes, poems, and stories.
|
|
|
|
How will you integrate language and literacy development in this lesson? |
|
Concentration Skills: Engaging with rhymes enhances focus and attention. Auditory Discrimination: Children learn to distinguish sounds and recognize rhymes. Use familiar nursery rhymes and songs that contain rhyming patterns.
|
|
What vocabulary will you introduce in this learning experience? Includes developmentally appropriate sounds, words and phrases that you want children to use or learn |
|
Rhyme: Explain what rhyming means—when words have similar ending sounds. (e.g., cat, hat, mat). Funny Eight Bunny Nine Foggy Ten Birdy Dad Pig Share One Two Three Four Five Six seven |
|
How will you teach this objective using multiple modalities? Multiple modalities refer to teaching practices for young children that promote learning through the engagement of all their senses, utilizing varied approaches to learning and to demonstrating that learning. |
|
Rhyming Picture Books: Read rhyming picture books together. Point out words that rhyme as you read. For example, "Goat and boat rhyme! They sound the same at the end: seven, heaven. Chants and Songs: Use rhythmic chants and songs to reinforce rhyming patterns. Encourage active participation and movement.
|
|
How will you adapt the learning experiences to meet the needs of individual children? Adaptations may include children with special needs, are struggling, gifted learners or dual language learners. |
|
Special needs- show the students the pictures, have them to point to the ones the rhyme (none). Struggling- picture cards (ex. car, star) individualization Gifted learners- Allow the students to move at a much faster pace (initial sounds). DDL-use pictures (none)

PROCEDURE Provide sufficient detail in this section whereas a substitute teacher could teach this lesson in your absence. Include introduction, teaching strategies, conclusion, prop use, etc. |
|
· The teacher will explain the lesson. · Ask the children if they remember what Rhyming words are. · Go over rhyming words (thumbs up if rhyme, thumbs down if it doesn’t) · Show the students the book. · Ask about the cover, back, side. · Read the book. · Pull out the rhyming words. · Make up their own rhyming song. |
|
How will you assess the children? Describe your assessment procedures including what documentation you will collect of student learning (i.e. work samples, observational notes, photo documentation, etc.) |
|
The children will be assessed using a matrix for rhyming words and notes will be included. ie: rhyming: yes/no notes: the child said, “cat rhymes with bat.”
|
|
How will you evaluate student learning according to the lesson objectives and standards? Describe your evaluation criteria. Are you using a checklist, rubric, anecdotal note to document whether children have met the learning objective (s)? How do you know whether children have met or not met the standard(s)?
|
|
Evidence of Student Learning – ensure that evidence aligns with objective. Include multiple methods of assessment throughout the lesson (e.g., scoring guide) responses to questioning, audio/video-recordings, and matrix)
|
|
AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION of LESSON |
|
Reflect on your teaching practice. How would you adapt your activity and improve your instruction next time? I will listen to the children’s feedback while trying to observe their engagement levels during activities. If they seem disinterested or confused, I will adjust the activity to make it more engaging or clear.
Include in your upload of the final lesson plan the child assessment(s) you collected for this lesson and evaluation criteria that identifies if the child met, did not meet or exceeded expectations.
