Assessment Analysis:

Summary: Overall, the first grade students made good strides in their performance of this unit. 100% of students were able to correctly complete the Animal Alphabet handout. I give a lot credit to the fact that 2 teachers were able to meet the needs of students who might have struggled to complete this correctly. Having 2 teachers collaborating on this project helped the success of the students because working in 2 smaller groups allowed us to scaffold more for students who need it. 16 out of 17 students were able to put words in alphabetical order. We now see that this particular student will need extra practice with this. Andrew found a great website called Learning Planet which he and I let some members of our groups practice when they were struggling to remember how to put words in ABC order. Only 2 out of the 17 struggled to express what they learned during the reflection piece. These 2 particular students have learning disabilities and have had difficulty in the past with oral expression. The rest of the students were able to explain why its important to search on kid friendly sites and described what they worked on for their assigned letter and page of the book. Only 2 of the 17 students struggled to demonstrate how to safely search for pictures. One student struggled because of the previously mentioned disability causing her to not be focused and needed a lot of adult guidance. This showed her inability to do this independently. The other student did not follow directions and went to other sites without permission. This resulted in a private discussion where I pulled him aside and we discussed

how important it is to follow instructions. Even though he did not go to any inappropriate sites, he was still on a site without my permission. Otherwise, the rest of the students followed the step-by-step directions and correctly and safely searched for their animal pictures on Photographic Dictionary. All in all, this was a fun and interesting way to have early learners understand and practice basic digital citizenship practices and this exposure will help them be responsible internet users in the future. It was fun to tie it into literacy as well.
