EDUC 337 Blog #2 - Two truths and one lie

How fun is this!?

One of my hobbies is decorating cakes.
I am a very talkative person.
One of my favorite vegetables are brussel sprouts.

    Since I love brussels sprouts, I am going to choose the cake decorating one!

    I think that the lie is # 3. Since I don't like brussel sprouts, I am guessing you don't either. Since I don't know you, it could be that you aren't a very talkative person. I am. LOL

    Just judging by previous classes I am going to go with number two (hopefully that doesn't offend you in any way!). You're pretty quiet unless you need to do talking!

    LOL, Claire, that's exactly what I was thinking. Niki, I don't remember you being very talkative in previous classes, so I'm picking the second one.

Week 2 - Literacy Center

From our vocabulary lists, I chose to explore literacy centers.   I had a general idea of what they might be, but I did not expect the center to be so similar to the Daily 5 we explored for our discussion post for this week.   The first sentence of the paragraph on literacy centers was to be sure to create and maintain the centers regularly.   This is designed to keep the students engaged in a variety of literacy components.   I really liked how some of the centers were cross-curriculum by incorporating social studies and science into the centers.   During an earlier field experience I really liked how my cooperating teacher had her room organized and it included literacy centers.   At the time, she had a writing table where the students sat on milk crates with padded seats.   Under the seats were writing supplies and writing ideas.   In the class library, there was a futon where the kids could lounge and read to themselves.   In anoth...

Lesson Plan Relfection

So, in my first year of classes, I was pretty intimidated by writing a lesson plan, let alone an entire unit!  I find that each time it gets easier and my lessons seem to me more engaging.  Sometimes when I waiver if they are 'cool' enough I bring one of my kids over and I ask, "Do you think you would enjoy doing this?"  They are my best and honest critics.  They have helped me tweak a few that they weren't too excited about what I had planned.  I have one that really likes to draw, so she reminds me to include art in reading and writing.  In this unit plan, I really wanted to incorporate a writer's workshop for third graders.  The book I chose to read as a class and complete the workshop is "The One and Only Ivan".  Although I have a tendency to moan and groan starting out, I am able to incorporate a new strategy I want to use sometime in my future classroom.  I really stri...
