Subject The concept is Single subjected; Observation.

Factors that can affect what you can teach

The first factor is class size. The classroom is small, which makes it very convenient to teach the subject. The small class size will help increase student engagement and make them have a higher ability to adapt to educational and intellectual challenges that they will likely face. The next factor is time. Over the years, it has been deduced that the time of the day significantly impacts students' achievement. The selected time is suitable as it matches their scores and learning style preferences. The other factor is space. Students will be placed at a safe distance from one another to ensure they are in a tidy and clean environment, which will make them more focused and have motivation towards the lesson.

Class Demographics

There are 402 students. Their average age is six years. There are a total of 218 girls and 184 boys. On average, the economic status of the students in the middle.

The ability levels of the students are as follows: visual learners, auditory learners, writing learners, and kinesthetic learners.

The school setting is learner-centered. This is the case since the learning institution assesses students' needs, for instance, allowing students to create their own meaning according to the previous knowledge.

A brief summary of the schedule is 8:20-9:00 as arrival time, 9:25 clean up, 10:00 – 10:45 math talk, and 10:45 to 11:00, individual/partner work, 11:15 dismissal.

The teachers' qualities include love for their work, creativity, flexibility, patience, sense of humor, and compassion.

Three potential advantages to teaching this mix of students.

In this environment, teachers mix students with mixed abilities, which allows them to learn and accept their differences. A teacher will have an easy time placing the students into discussion groups or engaging the class in the discussion because each student has their own perspective on things. The high-level students can assist lower-level learners by encouraging and modeling them.

Two potential challenges to teaching this mix of students.

Teachers face the challenge of teaching effectively because they will be required to know every student's ability and identify a suitable way of teaching them.

It is possible that teachers may feel out of touch with the learners when they post negatively unintended outcomes.

Scope

● The time to teach this lesson.

● Classroom resources

● How this lesson plan fits into either a single-subject curriculum or connects as an interdisciplinary plan

1. The lesson will be taught at 10:05 a.m. Usually, students tend to be better focused on learning at this time of the day. This is normally the time when many institutions give important learning tasks. This is also the time when many institutions issue significant tests to their kindergarten learners.

2. The classroom resource will be a science lab where they will have access to scientific tools to help them during the scientific inquiry process; this is, observing, measuring, and recording their outcomes. Examples of the scientific tools required are the thermometer, magnifying scale, and measuring tape.

3. The lesson plan fits into an interdisciplinary plan. The lesson plan combines lessons in different disciplines around one theme. Different ideas related to a common theme are assimilated, and they are then taught to students.
