Lesson Plan Implementation Evaluation

Student Evaluation (3 points)

1. Did you fulfill your objective(s)? Yes No

Explain:
Yes I did fulfill my objective. The children followed the rules by waiting until I
told them when to go. I counted down “3, 2, 1,” and the kids ran to find their
eggs.
The kids were given Easter baskets to use for their Easter egg hunt.
2. What went well during the activity?

Everything actually went really well. The children loved running around and
looking for the Easter eggs.

3. In what way could you improve the activity?

I could’ve improved this activity by buying a few more eggs. For the three year
old, three eggs was enough. Maybe the five year olds could have gotten a few
more eggs.
