ABCD's of Writing

Thursday in class I learned about the ABCD's of writing in writing lesson plans. From my understanding it's a way of writing a well thought out, very measurable lesson plan, the instructor knows what she/he wants for her/his students to learn, how to do it, and how much the students/pupil will retain and how many of those students will retain it as well as what behaviors are triggered from what students. I think this is a good outlook on how much teaching an instructor will get done and allows the instructor to really look and think about the lesson being taught. I think that C:Condition will be a challenge for me to understand but I think as time goes on and the more I do it the easier it'll be for me to understand. Below is my example of how I understand it using a chore for my oldest son around the house.

Ex. Damien will be able to wash the dinner dishes with the dish scrubber, dish towel, and dish soap in no more than 1 hour before I get home from work by 5 pm with 85% of a well done job.

A= Damien
B= Wash dinner dishes
C= given the dish scrubber, dish towel, and dish soap
D= 85% of a job well done in no more than an hour

      Thank you. I'm a visual person, so without a visual aid, I feel like I'm either not explaining well or learning well. Plus with little man only being 10 I didn't want anyone to think that objective would be a full sink of dishes. Just trying to get him in the habit. It's a real chore of his, lol.

    Condition is still a bit confusing to me as well, but after reading my groups members blog's I'm starting to understand it more.

    I love that you included a picture. I feel like going back to my post and including one. Though my bathroom is a mess and just has drywall up. :) You did a great job of making the "ABCD" approach example easy and clear to understand. I think that breaking it down by letters makes it way easier to understand and connects the pieces that are there or missing from the objective. I feel that written objectives are important for not only the teacher but also the students. It allows for everyone to be on the same page. Great Post!

Teaching 6th Grade Science

Well hello everyone, Long time no hear. Having a blog is not something I'm the greatest at, lol. Well it hasn't been a full year since my last blog, so that's good. This school year has been intense and busy. I'm at a different school this year, hopefully, I won't have to move to a different school next year. I plan on staying with 6th grade and the team that I have. It's so much work to move to a different school. I've been moved to different schools a lot without being asked, only 1 move in the past 10 years in education has been my choice. This year I'm trying to make another choice and stay with 6th grade. Teaching 6th grade is TOUGH and definitely not for the faint of heart, but it's also been very rewarding. It's allowing me to be more reflective on how I am as a teacher and the areas that I need to grow in. It's also been WAY less of a headache to teach one subject. I feel like Elementary education isn't integrated enough in order ...

Word Walls

I've always liked the idea of Word Walls but from my experience in the classrooms that I have the privilege of working in and observing in, it's hard to utilize word walls the way they need to be used, due to the lack of space in the classrooms. With district and state policies saying that there needs to be so many things on the walls already from quick step by step instructions of units that need to be up, like the fact families in Multiplication, etc., the different ways to multiply and so much more. There's not enough space to have a nice word wall without it being partially or almost completely covered. The idea of Word Walls to me is also not a concept that I'm completely on board with because I often wonder, if students are still having a hard time remembering how to spell words properly or remember what the words mean, how does a word wall serve them properly?  Well after a long talk over many weeks with a 6th grade teacher and looking at the creativity of a 4t...

Excited About Blogging

Image
Excitement Ozzing From My Mind!! I am so excited to start this blogging thing. It's something I've never done before but have been interested in in the past but didn't know how to get started so I just let go of the idea. I am excited to be doing this now for my Teaching Techniques education class. What makes this even more exciting is that I know this class, past classes, and future classes will help me on my journey in becoming a classroom teacher as well as helping me with the current space I have decorated and furnished below that was assigned to me by my building principal to do small group LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention). I'm excited to see how this class will help me better teach my groups this year and better prepare me for substituting throughout the school and for my future of teaching a classroom of more than 6 students. Hope you all are just as excited to read these blogs as I am to post them.
