Schools Reopening Fall 2020 and COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

    There's so much going on in 2020, it's crazy. COVID -19 and protests and prayer rallies at the forefront of things and that's just to name a few things that's been going on. Well, all though the protests and the prayer rallies aren't over, the biggest concentration at the moment is getting students the best education possible whilst in the mist of COVID-19. How do you do this with the numbers still climbing? I would think that the best way to go about this is to continue eLearning but of course make it better than the rush job that we had to do when everything happened so fast. There's been many training to improve our google classrooms for our students. But there are people all over that think students should go back to school, what's even crazier is that some of the people who want students to go back to school, won't allow their own student(s) / children to go back to school. So then my question would be, if you wouldn't do it, why have a child do it? If you won't go to an in seat class, why make children the guinea pigs along with the teachers? There's also those that think, well there's not much we can do about this disease, so if we get it, we get it.

I don't know what the answer is. Yes this is new territory for us in 2020 but the US going through a pandemic isn't knew. The we've had the flu pandemic, Small Pox, Yellow Fever, 2 measles outbreaks and more. What did the country do then? What did they do then, that we can do now with our improvements of medicine and technology? What happened with education during that time? With our technology that we have now, eLearning is possible. No it is not the best, but in my opinion, I think it is best until numbers of deaths go down.

What do you think?

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.
