Universal Design for Learning (UDL): For students with physical impairments, I would have an activity gym
with shapes on the string to practice gross-motor skills ready for use. iPad will be available when children
need more step-by-step guidance, looking at videos, and utilizing apps to practice their shapes recognition.
Headphones and closed cation will be available to student with hearing impairments.
Engagement: To introduce the subject, shapes are placed on the floor. The children will roll a shape dice and
step on the shape. The children will use shapes to build and create.
Representation: Books about shapes and videos will be used to familiarize themselves. A spatial shape game
will be introduced to the students. The children have shape puzzles at their disposal.
Action and Expression: The children will play shape twister. Dry eraser boards will be available for children to
practice and show their knowledge. The children will find shapes in their environment (homes) and post their
findings on our class blog.
Lesson idea implementation: The lesson will be introduced with shapes by placing them on the floor for an
activity. The children will roll a shape dice and step on the shape. At each table, the children will identify the
shapes. This will be a pre-assessment of their knowledge about shapes. On day 2, the students will listen to
books and videos, solve shape puzzles, and play a shape spatial game. A box will be placed on the table. The
shapes will be placed using spatial language. The children will identify the shape based the placement. On the

third and final day, the students will use shapes to make pictures, practice drawing shapes by looking at index
cards with different shapes, and make a shape video for the new two days in class in groups of 4 using imovie.
Importance of technology: The visual and auditory aspects of video appeals to students and allows each
individual to process information differently. Videos allows for more processing and recalling memory. The
students learn through demonstration and illustrations, which is also great for memory.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: First and foremost, I will follow the school district’s policies on posting
student’s work and pictures. I will help the children to understand that they should never post a personal
information or personal photos/video on the internet, email, or any online communication device.
Reflective Practice: I feel the activity I created help children to see beyond the flash card, videos, and books,
but find shapes in their environment. To extend the activity further, we can look how shapes are used for
baking. To enhance the project, I would use the internet and ipads to look at how shapes create yummy food
or desserts.
