Nursery Rhymes and Fables: Supplemental Guide 3B | Jack Be Nimble & Little Jack Hornere 67
End-of-Lesson Check-In
Jack Be Nimble and Little Jack Horner
Choose four students to focus on and record their scores on the Tens
Recording Chart. For this type of informal observation, you should
give a score of zero, five, or ten based on your evaluation of students’
understanding and language use.
0 Emergent understanding and language use
5 Developing understanding and language use
10 Proficient understanding and language use- Have students place Response Cards 3 through 6 on their lap. (You
may wish to focus on two nursery rhymes at a time.) Say a few key
words from any of the nursery rhymes from the past two lessons (e.g.,
Johnny, snoring, raining, pouring, Jack, candlestick, Christmas, etc.)
and ask students to hold up the Response Card that relates to the
words you say. - Say the poem together.
- Then say the poem again but leave out a few key words for students
to fill in. Playful repetition will help students learn the poem.
➶ Above and Beyond: If they are ready, have partners try to recite the
poems to each other.
Note: At this point some students may have a nursery rhyme
memorized. Use the Recording Sheet for Recitation of Nursery
Rhymes Assessment (Instructional Master 3B-2) to begin assessing
students’ ability to recite a nursery rhyme. There will be several
opportunities at the beginning of some lessons and during the Check-
In for students to be assessed.
