I am a preschool teacher who incorporates basic technology to assist learning within my classroom. Technology should be able to enhance the learning that is happening at school and can be used in simple ways with young students.
Some ways I use technology are music/movement videos, learning songs, educational games, and communicating with parents. I find technology helps with student engagement, fun learning experiences, and classroom management daily.
I like to use technology to supplement hands-on learning, creativity, and skills young children are learning. I strive to provide a positive environment for my students where they can learn through play, exploration, and technology. I am always looking for new ways to use technology to engage students but keep learning appropriately to their development.

DownloadLanguage Objective
Literacy Objective 15a: Notices and discriminates rhyme
Literacy Objective 15b: Notices and discriminates alliteration
Domain: Language and Literacy
Standard: LLT 2: Emergent Reading
Objective: LLT 2b: Phonological Awareness
Lesson Activity:
Students participated in the “Big Red Barn” rhyming lesson using anchor chart paper. Children were introduced to a focus letter and corresponding letter sound, then listened to a rhyming clue to identify the hidden farm animal. For example, when presented with the letter P and the rhyming word big, students used phonological awareness skills to determine the animal was pig.
Observation:
During whole group instruction, the student actively engaged in the rhyming activity by identifying letter names and corresponding sounds. The student listened to spoken word patterns, recognized rhyming relationships, and successfully associated beginning sounds with farm animal names. When prompted with the letter P and the word “big,” the student correctly identified “pig,” demonstrating emerging phonological awareness and an understanding of sound-symbol relationships.
Assessment:
The student is developing the ability to recognize rhyming words, identify beginning sounds, and connect spoken language to letter-sound knowledge. Continued exposure to rhyming games, alliteration activities, and interactive literacy experiences will further strengthen phonological awareness skills.
