Week 11

This week was a very busy work week for me and my classmates! This week at Washington in the morning, I was having one on one with a child who has a very small attention span and it was very difficult to make him focus, I tried my best to make the math games we played meaningful to real life in order to grasp his attention. After lunch, I was with three students playing a board game that built upon their spelling skills and word recognition. One student was clearly more advanced than the others and was trying to help the other kids playing the game. For my outside research, I have been finding technology resources every week for my resource kit that I can take with me to my future classroom. I have been doing a lot of work for ssed307 this week on perfecting my flipped lesson plan! I also have been doing work for my fine arts integration clinical lesson plan and that has been a great learning experience for me to learn to integrate multiple subjects into one lesson for my students. Being able to connect lessons and integrate multiple subjects into one lesson is important for me as a teacher. This connects standard 4 of the NCPTS which is facilitating learning to your students and I believe that integration is definitely one way to facilitate learning in my classroom. I will use integration in my future classroom with every lesson that I teach. It allows for the students to expand on their knowledge of multiple subjects.

  1. Hannah,
    It certainly has been a busy week! I, too, have been working on my Fine Arts lesson, and taught it on Thursday. The students loved the arts activity that they participated in, but I feel like I could have executed that lesson way better than I did. I want to facilitate learning for these students, but it's quite clear that I am still learning and have SO much room to grow. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Hannah,
    I will be teaching my fine arts lesson this week as well. I also am looking forward to this experience. We are almost at the home stretch and the time seems to be getting away from me. The students I am working with this semester are incredibly smart and a lot of fun to work with. Chris

  3. Hannah, I understand the difficulties of working one on one with students with very little focus! I too have a student I work with at WES that fit that bill. Integrating other subjects into our lessons is very important. It truly does help students see the bigger picture and understand the importance of what they are learning!

  4. Hannah,
    What did having students at very different levels teach you about differentiation?
