Fitness Activity Lesson Plan

Encouraging physical fitness in very young children should be a priority for educators because of the health and cognitive benefits associated with it. To do this, teachers need to know how to promote healthy physical development in ways that are appropriate for each child’s age and ability-level. In addition, it is critical for teachers to track progress using checklists, charts, graphs, and other technological forms of data collection.

Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” create a fitness activity lesson that is developmentally appropriate for a young child (birth to age 3). Choose an age range, birth-8 months, 9-12 months, 13-24 months, or 25-36 months. The time limit for this activity should be based on the age of the child.

In your lesson:

  1. Specify the early learning standards for the specified age range.
  2. Identify the gross motor milestones a child should possess and which milestones the activity will be working toward.
  3. Provide an example of a child who may require adaptive equipment and a technological device.
  4. Include ways to enhance the lesson with music or technology.
  5. Identify how each child’s progress toward meeting the lesson objectives will be monitored.
  6. Identify how technology can be used to observe, document, and collect data on student progress.
    In a 250-500 word reflection, discuss how your lesson addresses young children’s physical and emotional health, including strengths, interests, and needs. Add your reflection to the lesson plan document.

While APA style format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3 sentences and the information should inform the differentiation components of the lesson. National/State Learning Standards: Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment. Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments. © 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. GCU College of Education LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety. Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives: Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following: • Who is the audience • What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment • What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are. For example: Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will accurately label all state names. Academic Language In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach. In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those terms in the lesson. © 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. GCU College of Education LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology: List all resources, materials, equipment, and technology you and the students will use during the lesson. As required by your instructor, add or attach copies of ALL printed and online materials at the end of this template. Include links needed for online resources. Section 2: Instructional Planning Anticipatory Set Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating students’ prior knowledge, linking previous learning with what they will be learning in this lesson and gaining student interest for the lesson. Consider various learning preferences (movement, music, visuals) as a tool to engage interest and motivate learners for the lesson. In a bulleted list, describe the materials and activities you will use to open the lesson. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson. For example: • I will use a visual of the planet Earth and ask students to describe what Earth looks like. • I will record their ideas on the white board and ask more questions about the amount of water they think is on planet Earth and where the water is located. © 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Time Needed GCU College of Education LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Multiple Means of Representation Learners perceive and comprehend information differently. Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners. For example, you may present the material using guided notes, graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive technologies, etc. In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning. Bold any materials you will need to prepare for the lesson. For example: • I will use a Venn diagram graphic organizer to teach students how to compare and contrast the two main characters in the read-aloud story. • I will model one example on the white board before allowing students to work on the Venn diagram graphic organizer with their elbow partner. Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the following groups: • English language learners (ELL): • Students with special needs: • Students with gifted abilities: • Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): © 2019. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Time Needed GCU College of Education LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Multiple Means of Engagement Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage students in interacting with the content and academic language. How will students explore, practice, and apply the content? For example, you may engage students through collaborative group work, Kagan cooperative learning structures, hands-on activities, structured discussions, reading and writing activities, experiments, problem solving, etc. In a bulleted list, describe the activities you will engage students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the content and academic language. Bold any activities you will use in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and higher order thinking questions you might pose. For example: • I will use a matching card activity where students will need to find a partner with a card that has an answer that matches their number sentence. • I will model one example of solving a number sentence on the white board before having students search for the matching card. • I will then have the partner who has the number sentence explain to their partner how they got the answer.

Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved. Time Needed GCU College of Education LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Multiple Means of Expression Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment and express what they know. Your goal in this section is to explain the various ways in which your students will demonstrate what they have learned. Explain how you will provide alternative means for response, selection, and composition to accommodate all learners. Will you tier any of these products? Will you offer students choices to demonstrate mastery? This section is essentially differentiated assessment. In a bulleted list, explain the options you will provide for your students to express their knowledge about the topic. For example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more summative ways through a short answer or multiple-choice test, multimedia presentation, video, speech to text, website, written sentence, paragraph, essay, poster, portfolio, hands-on project, experiment, reflection, blog post, or skit. Bold the names of any summative assessments. Students may also demonstrate their knowledge in ways that are more formative. For example, students may take part in thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down, a short essay or drawing, an entrance slip or exit ticket, mini-whiteboard answers, fist to five, electronic quiz games, running records, four corners, or hand raising. Underline the names of any formative assessments. For example: Students will complete a one-paragraph reflection on the in-class simulation they experienced. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding. Students will also take part in formative assessments throughout the lesson, such as thumbs upthumbs middle-thumbs down and pair-share discussions, where you will determine if you need to re-teach or re-direct learning. Explain how you will differentiate assessments for each of the following groups: • English language learners (ELL): • Students with special needs: • Students with gifted abilities: • Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need additional resources/support): © 2019.

Focus:

Throughout this lesson, learners will undergo various gross and fine
physical and cognitive activities to help them in their development
process. Children will learn various skills including, but not limited to
speaking names, numbering, naming states, identifying weather
conditions, and naming animals. They will also be subjected into learning
how to speak common words like their names and things around them.

Classroom and
Student
Factors/Grouping:

The lighting and the ventilation of the class will affect learner’s ability to
concentrate. Learning with special needs will be provided with the help
they need. The classroom setting will also be based on the student’s
native tongue with support equipment for 504s.

National/State
Learning Standards:

The national and state standards have minimum set standards that children
should meet at any grade level. The lesson plan shall be reviewed to
ensure that such standards are met to avoid any legal conflicts.
This lesson will focus on ELA/literacy in History/Social Studies, Science,
and Technical Subjects. Children will be subjected to reading and
learning stories then asked questions to ensure they understand
everything.
