Lesson Outline
At the onset of our session, Santino enjoyed looking at pictures in a Spanish book as different objects and features were pointed out to him as he turned the pages. I then had him stand in front of me and afforded him hand-over-hand instruction as we worked on identifying and sorting shapes and colors using wooden puzzles. Recognizing that learning can come from careful observation (Florida State Standard SC.K.N.1.5), Santino was shown a few basic shapes and encouraged to examine them, using his preferred senses. He placed the shapes vertically at eye level, passed them from one hand to the other, rubbed them against his cheek,and smelled them - all ways by which to obtain information about their shape, size, weight and physical characteristics. He was afforded guided instruction as the shape was verbally identified by this teacher and placed on the board. It is hoped that after successive trials and experience, Santino will be able to apply tactile discrimination skills, such as identifying differences in characteristics of three-dimensional objects regarding size, shape, texture, and weight, with prompting methods gradually faded. (Florida State Standard SP.PK12.VI.1.1). Santino was able to find the corresponding shape of an octogon in a bin containing environmental signs by picking up a stop sign. This indicates an ability to assimilate and transfer knowledge and recognize/locate geometric shapes in varying formats and settings (Florida State Standard SP.PK12.VI.5.4).
