Taskstream Fct 4 Task 2

A. K-8 1. Briefly Describe two-in-class activities.
In class today the students will be participating in two in-class activities. The two class activities will include watching a cartoon short on brushing their teeth followed by a prompt to successfully demonstrate proper technique learned in the video. The students will watch a 15 minute video on the importance of proper dental care staring a cute cartoon character. There is a model of the cartoon character with a huge brush and an imaginary tube of toothpaste located at the front of the class where the students will demonstrate the techniques learned during the video. 2. For each activity briefly describe two behavioral expectations you would have for that activity.
The students will be expected to maintain a quality attention span during the video and to refrain from laying their heads on the desk so they can fully understand the techniques and lifelong importance of proper dental care. After the video is complete the students will be expected to come to the front of the class and demonstrate mastery of the technique taught during the video by performing the action on a Teddy Bear with a big toothy smile and an oversized brush. The students will be expected enjoy presenting what they have learned in front of their peers in an orderly manner to develop confidence in their abilities and a joy of learning.
B. K-8 1. Briefly describe two out-of-class activities.
Today in class the children will be participating in two out-of-class activities including a trip to Meijer Gardens Christmas display and then to the farmers market to pick up a Christmas tree and decorations for the classroom. These two activities have been earned by properly demonstrating understanding of orderliness and quality attention span throughout the year during in class opportunities. The out-of-class activity will give the students an excellent opportunity to demonstrate these important qualities in a different environment with unique distractions.
2. For each activity, briefly describe two behavioral expectation you would have for that activity. While at the Meijer Gardens Christmas display students will be expected to stay in an orderly line while listening and adhering to the instructions of the tour assistant. During the tour the students are expected to observe the many ways Christmas is celebrated around the world and how it has changed over the years. Following the trip to Meijer Garden the students will be expected to democratically select a Christmas tree from the Farmers Market and then to each successfully choose one Christmas Ornament for the class Christmas tree that they feel expresses themselves.
C.Describe two evaluation methods to determine the level of student understanding of classroom behavioral expectations and consequences.
There are two evaluation methods I will use to determine the students understanding of behavioral expectations and consequences. First I will use observation to notice lack of understanding of behavioral expectations and consequences. Second I will use a visual reward system to evaluate the students’ level of understanding of classroom behavioral expectations and consequences. It is important that students understand behavioral expectations for in-class and out-of-class activities as well as consequences. The students have been taught from the beginning of the school year the importance of orderliness and maintaining proper attention span. I have been observing the students capacity to demonstrate orderliness and quality attention span from September up until the Christmas season. The students have be required to respond to prompts and task that require them to display their mastery of orderliness and quality attention span with the knowledge there is an extravagant Christmas trip they are earning. The students have demonstrated their capacity to successfully demonstrate these qualities in order to qualify for the fieldtrip thru a classroom reward system. The classroom reward center allowed students to collect magical stars for successfully displaying proper orderliness and attention span. The reward plan was explained at the beginning of the year as the “Magical Stars that open doors”. It is important that the students demonstrate the qualities because they will open up doors throughout life. Each student in the class has accumulated sufficient Magical Stars to go on the fieldtrip. I will be observing the students actions to ensure they are demonstrating proper orderliness and attention span will be measured by the students ability to demonstrate understanding of the instructions.
During the in-class activities and out-of-class activities the students are given the opportunity demonstrate their mastery of orderliness and quality attention span in different environments. The behavioral expectations do not change when the environment changes, and it is important that students demonstrate understanding of the expectations and the consequences of not meeting them in and out of the classroom. The students’ ability to demonstrate proper mastery in the understanding of orderliness and quality attention span allows them greater capacity to receive a complete education
