All About Me

In class tonight we talked about poems. Poems are not my strong suit but I do like them in song form or spoken word. Below is my poem from class. I thought is was cute and fun. A classmate had the idea that this would be a fun for students to introduce themselves to the class on the first day of school. I like that idea. What do you think?

Short, coffee skin, kinky hair, glasses
Sibling of Glenda, Tiara, Frankie, Frank, Ashley, Donje, Joshua, and Gabriel
Lover of coffee, books, live theater, family
Who fears being far up off the ground
Who needs God, Pepsi, and hugs
Who gives kisses to my boys throughout the day
Who would like to see the latest scary movie

    I think this would make a great first day activity! I think it could also be fun to let the kids make their poem into an all about me poster. They could decorate it with things that have to do with them, pictures, etc.

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.
