 To create an integrated activity plan for preschoolers, and to evaluate your plan. Please make sure to include the reflection 

Scenario:
You are a preschool teacher and are  beginning a new unit on butterflies at the beginning of the school year.  You have a group of nine preschoolers including Brian and Marisol  enrolled in your class. Brian and Marisol are both 4 years old but have  different levels of experience with preschool skills. Brian has limited  experience with preschool skills such as using writing utensils and  scissors, and he does not know the alphabet yet. In contrast, Marisol is  very confident using pencils, markers, crayons, scissors, and glue  sticks, and she already knows the entire alphabet. You will keep their  levels in mind as you plan for the whole class, while also  differentiating and individualizing to meet the specific needs of  Brian  and Marisol.

Create an activity plan on butterflies for your students, keeping in  mind their developmental stage as 4-year-olds and Vygotsky's theory of  the zone of proximal development in order to maximize the learning  potential for Brian and Marisol. In addition to the activity, you will  integrate the topic into learning centers throughout the classroom to  give all students including Brian and Marisol more opportunities to  explore and engage as they show interest.
