Requirement 1: Record the January 2020 transactions by updating the balances in the given table so that the ending month totals reflect the financial statements. Requirement 2: Explain the main characteristics of the balance sheet and the income statement and the relationship between those two statements.

For this assignment, select one English language arts standard appropriate for a field experience class based on collaboration with the mentor teacher. Create two assessments that incorporate different forms of creative arts (art, music, theater, or dance), including: A) One formative assessment tool to assess young children's reading skills and possible misconceptions. B) One formative assessment to promote phonics as a part of the reading process. The standard is for 3rd grade English Language Arts in the State of Tennessee.

Paper For Above Instructions

Accounting case: January 2020 transactions for Toys, Inc.

Starting balances (as of 12/31/19): Cash 5,000; Receivables 0; Inventory 6,000; Land 0; Property, Plant & Equipment 15,000; Total Assets 26,000. Liabilities and equity: Accounts Payable 6,000; Note Payable 0; Common Stock 20,000; Retained Earnings 0; Total L&E 26,000.

January 2020 transactions and journal entries (summarized):

  • 1) Sold inventory for cash: Cash +3,000; Inventory −2,000; Sales +3,000; COGS +2,000. End result: net income +1,000; AR unaffected.
  • 2) Purchased inventory for cash: Inventory +2,500; Cash −2,500.
  • 3) Sold inventory on account: AR +5,500; Inventory −3,500; Sales +5,500; COGS +3,500.
  • 4) Collected cash from customers: Cash +3,500; AR −3,500.
  • 5) Financing and land purchase:

    - Borrowed cash from bank: Cash +20,000; Note Payable +20,000.

    - Issued stock for cash: Cash +5,000; Common Stock +5,000.

    - Purchased land: Land +25,000; Cash −25,000.

  • 6) Payroll paid: Cash −2,000; Payroll expense +2,000 (reduces net income and retained earnings).

Ending balances after all January 2020 transactions (calculated):

  • Assets: Cash 7,000; Receivables 2,000; Inventory 3,000; Land 25,000; PP&E 15,000; Total Assets 52,000.
  • Liabilities and Equity: Accounts Payable 6,000; Note Payable 20,000; Common Stock 25,000; Retained Earnings 1,000; Total Liabilities and Equity 52,000.

Income statement for January 2020 (summarized): Revenue from sales = 8,500 (3,000 + 5,500); Cost of goods sold = 5,500 (2,000 + 3,500); Expenses = 2,000 payroll; Net income = 1,000. The net income increases Retained Earnings by 1,000, consistent with the ending Retained Earnings balance.

Relationship between the balance sheet and income statement: The income statement reports performance over a period (revenues minus expenses yielding net income), and the net income updates retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. Cash, receivables, inventory, land, and PP&E appear on the balance sheet and are affected by the operating, investing, and financing activities shown in the January transactions. When revenues exceed expenses, net income increases equity; when expenses exceed revenues, equity decreases. This dynamic links the two statements (Kieso, Weygandt, & Warfield, 2019; Warren, Reeve, & Duchac, 2019).

Educational portion: ELA standard selection and two arts-integrated formative assessments

Selected standard: 3rd grade English Language Arts foundational reading standard focusing on phonics and word analysis, including the ability to Know and Apply grade-level phonics and word- analysis skills to decode words (RF.3.3). This standard aligns with the Tennessee ELA standards for 3rd grade and supports explicit phonics instruction through integrated arts-based activities (Tennessee Department of Education, 2021).

Assessment A — Formative assessment to identify reading skill misconceptions through drama and music (phoneme awareness and decoding).

Activity: Students listen to a short decodable text and dramatize a scene using gestures and sounds that emphasize specific phonemes (e.g., digraphs like sh, th, ch; vowel teams like ai, ea). The teacher notes which phonics patterns cause hesitation or mispronunciation. Students perform short excerpted lines, focusing on correct decoding of target phonics patterns. After the performance, students complete a quick exit ticket identifying one phoneme pattern that they found challenging and one word example. This supports RF.3.3 by providing a multi-sensory approach to phonics practice and helps diagnose misconceptions through performance (National Reading Panel, 2000; Black & Wiliam, 1998).

Assessment B — Formative assessment to promote phonics as part of the reading process through visual arts and movement.

Activity: In small groups, students create a “phonics collage” for a set of target phonemes (for example, /k/ with ck, k, c; /d/ with -dge, -ed). Each group selects a phoneme pattern, finds or draws images representing words containing the pattern, and builds a visual reminder (poster) with the target spelling patterns. Groups then present their collage and explain the phonics pattern and a decoding rule. The teacher asks guiding questions (What sound does this pattern make? In which words can you find this pattern? How does it help you decode unfamiliar words?). This activity reinforces phoneme-grapheme correspondences and supports the RF.3.3 standard through a creative, collaborative, and reflective process (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000; Winner, Goldstein, & Vincent-Lanier, 2012).

Rationale and alignment: The chosen standard emphasizes phonics and word analysis; integrating arts—drama, music, and visual arts—supports multiple intelligences, engagement, and retention, and aligns with evidence about arts integration improving reading outcomes (Selma, 2017; Winner et al., 2012). Formative assessment throughout these activities informs instruction and provides actionable feedback, in line with Black & Wiliam’s formative assessment framework (1998).

References to standards and evidence-based practice are drawn from established educational research and state standards to ensure alignment with Tennessee’s ELA expectations and current best practices in reading instruction (TDOE, 2021; National Reading Panel, 2000; Black & Wiliam, 1998; Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000; Winner et al., 2012).
