Graded Lesson Plans

-
Tonight I was able to hear a few lesson plan presentations from my peers. This was really good to hear for two reasons. First, it made me feel more at ease about my own lesson plans that I have been working on. Second, I really enjoyed hearing my peers creativity and ideas that they will one day have within their own classroom.
I believe that we all have been stressing a little bit about these presentations and lesson plans, at least I know I have. A lot of us do not have experience with lesson plans yet and this was our first real go at them, how intimidating! I think that we will all learn from this class and our lesson plan experiences as a whole. I already have learned a lot just from our presentations and blog post. I am grateful that everyone can give me feedback on what I have done well and what I could do better.
All of our presenters today did an awesome job presenting their lesson plans. So, shout out to Rebecca, Debbie, Tiffany, Kris, and Samantha, you guys did great and I think you all will make wonderful teachers one day. I really enjoyed everyone's creativeness,  I thought it was actually pretty interesting that none of us ended up doing the same thing, not even close! I was thinking that it would be so cool to keep these lesson plans and be able to look back at them after our first year of teaching and be able to see how much growth we have made!
Great job everyone, I am excited to hear more lesson plans next week!

    Rylee, you did an amazing job! I loved your idea of using Oreo's to show students the different moon phases. Using something they enjoy to teach them something new, really spikes their interest. I like your idea of saving our lesson plans from this class and see how we grow after the first year of teaching. I have taught from lesson plans that I have put together (not anywhere as detailed as what we are doing now) and I was constantly tweaking things as I went based on how students reacted. I agree, we have a pretty great group of future teachers! Good job!

Future Classroom Teaching Reading

Into the Future.... I am so excited to be able to be in my own classroom implementing all these amazing ideas and strategies that I have learned over the years at Columbia College. One thing that I have been super excited about and that I have held near and dear to my heart during this last stretch of my education is reading and how that will look in my future classroom. It is hard to imagine because you really do not know where you will end up especially fresh out of college. I do know that teaching reading is going to be something that I truly will look forward to in my classroom. Which is almost strange to me because I never really cared to read growing up and I really do not read very much now. When I am reading to my students and I watch how excited they are about a book and I get really into it and just watch how much they love it, I know exactly why I choose this career.  Also, teaching reading is not an easy task at all. Teaching reading will be so hard,...

Analytic Rubric vs. Holistic Rubric

-
When it come to rubrics that we use in the classroom there are two different types that we are most familiar with or have been graded on in the past. Those rubrics are called Analytic and Holistic Rubrics. Heard of them? Analytic Rubric: breaks down parts of an assignment into smaller portions in which allows the scorer to itemize and define how and what aspects were provided and which either were missing or need improvement. Holistic Rubric: is a pretty general rubric, it usually have about three to five levels and a description of characteristics to describe each level. What makes this holistic rubric an holistic rubric is the way each description is lumped together. So, you ask which one is better to use for my students? Well the truth is neither one is better than the other. Each of these rubrics place a general assessment of the student but it really just depend who you are assessing and who is assessing. Example:  - There are less details in a holistic rubric which m...

5 Books For My Unit Plan!

The Fabulous Five:  In my unit plan this semester I have obtained some fun books that help me teach my students how to recognize characters and settings, character traits, comparing and contrast characters, cause and effect, and recognizing begging, middle, and end. Here is a list and how I will use it in the lesson.  1. The Rainbow Fish - Students will be able to describe the character and setting in this story by creating a character and setting Pyramid.  2. Where The Wild Things Are -  students will be able to describe the characters and setting, by writing and illustrating what they read. They will be doing this by listing the different characters, writing a sentence about their  traits and then drawing a picture.  3.  Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs -  Students will be able to describe the character traits of the main characters and compare and contrast them using a Venn diagram. 4.  A Bad Case of Str...
