CHCECE037 - Assessment Item 3 - Project

[En_chantress]

Hi, Everyone.

I'm struggling with answering Unit 37 Assessment Item 3 and could really use some guidance on writing a proper lesson plan. I've put together a draft, but I'm confused about how to correctly write the observations related to the experience. I also need to include photos of the activity as part of the assessment. Is there anyone who can help?

It sounds like you're navigating some challenging assignments. Let's break it down to help you write a proper lesson plan and correctly document your observations.

1. Writing the Lesson Plan:
A well-structured lesson plan typically includes the following sections:

A. Learning Objectives:

Clearly define what you want the children to learn.

Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

B. Materials Needed:

List all the materials you will need for the activity.

Ensure you have everything prepared in advance.

C. Procedure:

Provide a step-by-step guide on how the activity will be carried out.

Include instructions for both the children and the educators.

D. Assessment:

Explain how you will assess whether the children have met the learning objectives.

This could include observations, checklists, or specific tasks.

E. Reflection:

Reflect on what went well and what could be improved.

Consider the children’s engagement and learning outcomes.

2. Documenting Observations:
When writing observations related to the experience, you want to focus on specific, objective notes. Here’s how to do it:

A. Objective Descriptions:

Describe what you see and hear without interpreting the behavior.

Example: "Sam used the red crayon to draw circles on the paper."

B. Context:

Provide context for the observation. Where did it take place? What were the conditions?

Example: "During the art activity, at the drawing table."

C. Behavior:

Note the specific behavior, interaction, or skill demonstrated.

Example: "Sam displayed fine motor skills by holding the crayon with a pincer grip."

D. Follow-Up:

Plan what you will do next based on the observation.

Example: "Introduce different colored crayons to expand Sam’s color recognition."

3. Including Photos:
Take clear, focused photos that capture the activity and the children’s engagement.

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to take and share photos of the children.

Label the photos with descriptions that relate to your observations and learning objectives.

Example Observation:
Observation:

During the art activity, at the drawing table, Sam used the red crayon to draw circles on the paper. Sam displayed fine motor skills by holding the crayon with a pincer grip.

Follow-Up:

Introduce different colored crayons to expand Sam’s color recognition and encourage more detailed drawings.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to create a comprehensive and effective lesson plan that meets the requirements of your assessment.

Hey all,
I'm new to this website and highly confused on where and how to post so i'm hoping this reaches someone.
I'm currently studying CHC30121- Certificate 3 in early childhood education and care.

I'm currently doing unit CHCE037- Support children to connect with the natural environment. I am doing the project Assessment.
I am stuck on Question 1, scenario 2.

The scenario is:
Jay has just stared working at Little.ly Learning Centre. He will be working with the three-year-olds, and he is very keen to incorporate ways to encourage the children to respect the natural environment. Jay has discovered that the centre has a vegetable garden and compost area. Jay wants to embed learning about respect for the natural environment into practical routines to reduce the footprint of the service.

The question is as follows:
Consider the scenario and read each question carefully. Each response should be a minimum of 45 words but no longer than 80 words


2.1 List at least three suggestions for implementing learning about respect into the practical routine of the room to reduce the footprint of the service.

I was thinking, water saving, Composting, Energy conservation. But I am honestly so confused on what I'm meant to be doing or where the hell I start.
Thank you. Any help would be great.

Great ideas! Let's build on them to create practical and concise suggestions for Jay. Here are three suggestions for incorporating respect for the natural environment into the daily routines:

Water-Saving Practices:

Teach children to water the vegetable garden using recycled rainwater collected in a water barrel. Use a designated watering can to avoid water wastage and explain the importance of conserving water.

Composting:

Involve children in the composting process by having them collect food scraps after meals and add them to the compost bin. Explain how composting reduces waste and enriches the soil for the vegetable garden.

Energy Conservation:

Introduce energy-saving habits, such as turning off lights when not in use and using natural sunlight for indoor activities. Use visual cues like stickers near light switches to remind children to save energy.

These practical activities can help children develop a deeper respect for the environment while reducing the service's ecological footprint.

Hope this helps!
