I have created this blog to share all of my teaching moments with you! This space will contain my "ah-ha" moments, lesson plans, as well as my ideas and goals about my future contributions to the education field.
When I grow up
Ever since I was in Elementary school, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. My Kindergarten and 2nd grade teacher both had amazing teaching abilities and I strive to be as positive and influential as they were with me with the children that I work with each day.
One goal that I have as future teacher is to incorporate a variety of multicultural learning and communication methods into the classroom while emphasizing individuality and uniqueness. In addition to teaching, I would one day like to work in the area of educational reform or politics.
My Important teaching methods
-Multicultural education
-Differentiated instruction
-Collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity
-Focusing on individual strengths of each child
Student input and real life experiences incorporated into activities
-Every moment is a ‘teachable moment’
-Hands on learning to promote and facilitate student directed discovery
-Encompassing the family, child, community, and professionals
Today we started making our pet rocks. As a fun and creative way to introduce rocks, the children painted their rocks that they collected over the weekend. Tomorrow we will add details (googly eyes, hair, and the children will have the opportunity to create a habitat for their rock. The children will also answer observational and descriptive questions about their pet rock.
