Week 8

Week 8 was fun! This week at Washington, Caroline, Megan, and I got to teach an Arts integration lesson to our classroom and it was fun! It was Dr. Seuss week so we chose to read “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” then followed up with a math worksheet for them to complete. Then, we talked about the kind of habitat that fish live in and it was interesting to hear what all the children said. One child said “a dentist office” so that was funny. Then we created a fish bowl out of a paper plate to integrate the arts. I think the class really enjoyed doing this lesson! Our Social Studies class was online this week and we had breakout groups to make a visual for SAMR, I think this helped a lot for me continuing writing my unit plan in this class because I learned what Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition is and how to implement these areas into my unit plan. I have been researching some things for my PDP conference on Monday and finishing up what I want to have done before the meeting. I have learned a lot and found some great resources through doing this. Me researching things and finding resources is a direct correlation to standard four D of the NCPTS which is facilitate learning by using technology in your classroom. Week 8 seemed a little less busy than the other weeks for some reason, I know that week 9 is very important and will be a busy week but I look forward to conquering it with my classmates!
