The Book The Carrot Seed
Transition/warm up/introduction:
I read the book The Carrot Seed. I chose this book because I thought it would be a
great book to help the children guess what they thought would happen next and
have great questions to ask. It also went well with my theme I thought. I asked the
children have they ever read the book before, I asked what they thought was going
to happen with the carrot, and would they help. The children were excited and
answered the questions and were into the book.

7.) Then I introduced the game

9.) The children told me what fruit/vegetable they had

the appropriate letter

Accommodations for individuals:

Scaffolding down: I would not use three letters I would use two or maybe
have one, so they see what letter goes with it then add another as we go over it. If
the clothes pins were too much, I could cotton balls for the to place it on the card or
something that size so it would be easier to place.
Scaffolding up: I could use more letters give them more than just one card
at a time to see if that works better

Pictures with captions
(D) was telling me the name of

the vegetable (Broccoli) and that she did not like it. I told her I didn’t either but its
good for you and then I asked her what letter it starts with and she told me B I told
her to put the clothes pin on it.
(D) had a hard time
remembering what vegetable this was she kept telling me it was lettuce and that
the letter was L and I said remember in the beginning of the game I told you what
this was and you guys had to repeat and she said yes I said so what do you think it
is she said Spinach and I said yes so what’s the letter she said S and pinned it
(A) saw the picture and yelled

out Tomato I laughed and said yes and asked if he liked them and he said yes then I
asked what letter it starts with he told me T and pinned it.
(D) saw the grapes and said
Mmm Grapes and said I know this one its G and pinned it
(D) she told me that the

picture was Corn but she wanted to pin and looked at me and when I did not say
anything she pinned the middle and said she did not know and (A) told her corn
starts with a C
(A) told me that the Strawberry
card was easy and that he liked strawberries and pinned the letter S
(A) told me to take a picture of

his card when he pinned the letter C for cucumber
Analysis
I taught this lesson because it was for them to work on their letters more and
matching it up with the appropriate picture and clothes pin the letter. i felt like this
was appropriate because the children needed help with their letters and knowing
how they look and that’s why both activities were based on letters. Having the
picture of the fruit or vegetable and having them tell me what it was I think helped
the children out with figuring out the letter that matched with the picture because
the children could hear and understand what they were saying. I would change
some of the vegetables to some that was more familiar to them because the
children did not know what Spinach and Celery was and I did not think about that
when I made the cards I just saw them as vegetables and I should’ve kept in mind
that they should be vegetables they know and are familiar with.
Reflection
While creating this activity I was not sure how I was going to deliver it, but I
got it done. I did feel bad that M was not interested in any of my lessons I taught.
Even though he had a fever on this he just was not interested in the beginning
either. I wish I had more time to figure out what would get his attention so he could
play along with everyone else. But having him not interested helped me to see that
I should have a lot of backups to keep them engaged and active.
