1. Student 2 is a five-year old English language learner.  Her family moved two years ago from Mexico and she loves Princesses. She did not go to preschool and this is her first year in Kindergarten. She seems to love learning but struggles with speaking English.

1.1. This student will benefit from the use of visual aids and posters with both English and Spanish shape words.  She will also benefit from using language to gain understanding and so activities that included partner talk to describe shapes would be perfect.  Activities on Scootpad would be useful.  (Scootpad assignments are adaptive and fully automated. The concepts are auto-selected from the student’s learning path. Activities are differentiated.)  Also, if she does not understand, then she can replay to listen again.

2. Student 1 is a five year old boy who loves baseball.  The Giants are his favorite team.  He has ADHD and has a difficult time staying in his seat, although he seems to enjoy math. He is twice exceptional and is also a GATE student.

2.1. This student will do better with activities that include movement and that are challenging.  Having the students move around for the shape hunt as well as challenging him to look for real world objects that have more than one shape would be good.  Another strategy is using Kahoot it for assessment.  It has music and designed like a game show which is very engaging.  Plan on activities that are shorter in duration so he will be engaged.  This student will also benefit from the use of a timer in the classroom for the right amount of pressure to stay on task.  Having a list of activities for this student (like a schedule) will also help.
