EDUC 337 Post # 2


Hello group!
This week's class was mostly about chapters 2 & 3 to ensure we know what steps or wickets we should/need to go through for our students to be successful in language arts.  I really think that an hour for reading and an hour for writing should be put into a lesson plan for a classroom.  Yes, this seems like a long time but if it is broken up into different areas, such as, read aloud, silent reading, writing to a pen pal, phonics, etc.  The students may run out of time wanting to finish what has been set up for that particular day.  Every day would be a different round about of reading and writing so they do not get set into a slump like routine and so they are able to accomplish the assignments during the given time.  I am not sure if that makes sense but it does in my head.

So, I received a Mother's Day card from  my 4 year old daughter today and I wanted to post how well she can write her name.  Well, I think it is awesome!  I traced her name out on writing paper, she practiced it for a couple days and this is what she remembers......
She had to have her picture taken and added
She is a nut!  Lol

    Hi Michelle, love the picture of your daughter and that she provided you with a great example of emergent writing!! My daughter has been working on that too, she can write about 4 of the 6 letters correct. I agree with your post too that we can get writing in without making it seem monotonous to the students, I like the ideas you shared.

    Your daughter is adorable! I love her curly hair. I enjoyed reading your biographical poem, too. You would hate to be at my house if you’re scared of wasps because we have a problem with red wasps swarming around our front door, deck, etc. Those things are mean! I’d love to see the northern lights, too. I bet they’d be so beautiful!

    Aww what a cute little one you have!! She seems to have a lot of personality haha!! I am a huge believer of the rotation style literacy groups! I couldn't agree more with you more that we need to mix it up so kids are not getting bored. I know that even as an adult I do better with rotations! I am definitely a rotations girl when it comes to working out and I know I am more effective when I am mixing things up compared to doing one thing and then moving on to the next! You had a great post, and I loved your poem!!

EDUC 337 Week # 4

Hello group!      I really wish I would have known we were going to use this particular subject for our blog post because I have one heck of a "I did not get my way" story.  I will start in 2012 when I got out of the Marine Corps, I served 13 years, took that summer off to relax and hang out with my son.  I started my college adventure that fall, I loaded up on classes and pushed through to complete my associates degree after four semesters.  I had my daughter in January of 2014 so I was only in one class for that spring semester but was able to push through to more courses that summer and fall.  Spring of 2015, I was almost finished with my education courses I needed but this is when everything fell apart.      I was rocking and rolling toward my bachelors degree and finishing all of my schooling, so excited and could not wait to start teaching.  It all changed that Mother's day with a phone call from my mother in law ...

Class Reflection #1

Hello class! I enjoyed meeting everyone new tonight and those of you that were in previous classes.  I also enjoyed hearing about everyone's favorite teacher.  Most of the class definitely has had some very positive individuals that have helped to guide them into teaching or had a very positive role model.  I think it is awesome to have some of the same experiences as I have had throughout my college courses.  It is fun to hear everyone's adventures!

EDUC 337 Post # 3

Hello group!      As always, I enjoyed class tonight!  By going over word walls and having a quick thought on creating a lesson plan really got my mind going.  I really enjoyed that because it was a quick learning tool that opened my eyes to very different words and how to use them in a classroom.       Creating a mini lesson plan about a writing lesson almost blew my mind though!  I felt like we needed about 15 more minutes but I was able to learn a lot about thinking quickly on my feet about different teaching ideas used during this assignment.       Unfortunately, technology was not our friend last night so the last portion of class was pretty confusing so I plan on going back over the power point to make sure I do not miss out on anything.  I think I have my unit lessons planned in my head, I have started my 100 questions and I hope to start/finish a lot this weekend.  We will see....
