  1. I like the lesson plan you have because I am not experienced with preschoolers and it is interesting to see how the goals and objectives differ. I like how you used the UDL principles and added the challenge of knocking down more blocks to help increase the skill level. I noticed that you also added explaining the game and the rules, it is so important that students understand the rules and expectations set out by the teacher. This lesson would be interesting to see in action, it sounds as though it would be extremely engaging for preschoolers.
