3. Every 2 days I will tell them to write as many letters as they remember in 2 minutes.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

2. Everyday I should be able to see how much more the class remembers from our daily alphabet routines.
 
8. Teacher Reflection-
After the lesson plan is completed, I would like to take the good and leave the bad from the lesson plan. I hope that all my students learn the alphabet in an efficient matter.
