When designing the book bag, I made sure that the activities I included were activities that the children would know how to complete. They were activities that the students had completed in their class with other stories or in another context. When reading stories in class, the students would create a story sequence to summarize what happened through the story. So, I knew that they would know what to do to complete the story sequence activity. To personalize it and make it fit with the story, I made it into a caterpillar that they attached the clips to with images. For the students’ letter of the week, they discuss words/images that begin with the sound for that week. For example: Letter of the week is Pp, so each student would have an

Explain how the activities in your bag are connected to state standards. (5c)
Based off of the OAS Early Learning Standards (Ages 3-5) the Sequencing Caterpillar correlates to: LITERACY: STANDARD 8: Comprehension – The child will associate meaning and understanding with reading. C. Remembers and articulates some sequences of events.
The Image sort correlates to: LITERACY: STANDARD 6: Letter Knowledge and Early Word Recognition (Phonics)- the child will demonstrate the ability to apply sound-symbol relationships. C. Beings to recognize the sound associated for some letters. Listening to the stories being read correlates to: ORAL LANGUAGE: STANDARD 1: Listening- The child will listen for information and for pleasure. A. Listen with interest to stories read …show more content…
How did the children react when the book bag was presented to them by you? Give specific examples.
On the day that I presented the book bag, only ten of the students were present, seven were out with the flu. As soon as the students seen the bag they were asking, “What is that?” “Is it for us?” “Can we look in it?” “It has a butterfly and caterpillar.” “What is that for?” etc.. I showed the students the bag and explained that they each would be able to take it home on the day they were leader so that they wouldn't be upset or angry. I showed the students each book in the bag and then showed them how to complete the activities that were in it as well. Once I was finished showing them everything, I showed them the Material List on the bag so that they would remind their parents to make sure everything was placed back in the bag to return to school. During the childrens’ center time, I had the bag sitting out for them to look through. 2. Did the children do the activities in the bag? How did you know? Did they complete them?
It is hard to say if every student completed the activities in the bag because I was not in the class everyday that the bag was brought back. On the days I was there, I would ask the students what they learned and if they enjoyed them. I would see if they could tell me what the stories were about and who read the stories to
