Week Reflection
This week I would rate the week a 3! It was a difficult week just for getting everything done. I taught my reengagement lesson for edTPA as well as finishing lesson plans and trying to work on edTPA! Besides still not having enough time in the day, I had a good week besides that. I have a lot of students absent because of sickness, so make sure that you are taking Vitamin C and getting the correct medicine that you need! During this week I will build upon my "signal" for getting my students attention! I got a remote control doorbell off amazon that hopefully will get my students attention when they are going to be too loud or I need to say something. I hope this will help my long term of being a leader in my classroom and making sure that I am always keeping my classroom attention and focusing on the students and keeping a safe and orderly classroom. I need to spend more time with edTPA and really focusing on getting that done this weekend and into next week! That is definitely my focus and the logical steps that I need to focus on. Some data that I analyzed is that my students were not really understanding comparing fractions on a number line and they were not doing well with placing each mixed number on a number line. This is something we ended up breaking down and really taking it to step by step the next day in order to fully break it down and really understand the information by going through each step and how they can break it down and go slowly.
My advice is that WE CAN DO EDTPA!!! WE GOT THIS!!!
NC Standards
- Standard 1
- This week with my remote control doorbell being introduced on Friday, I will be trying to complete standard 1A which creating a safe and orderly classroom.
- Standard 2
- This week I completed 2D when I talked to the nurse in depth and other specials teachers when one student had to be sent to the office for a medical issue and he stayed there the rest of the day. During this time the nurse talked to parents about how to help the student and I was able to take a roll in that and really have help in the situation which was a great feeling!
- Standard 3
- This week I have completed 3C which discusses global awareness. Students have learned about China and how they have polluted the environment and they are going to be comparing this during the Google slide presentation!
- Standard 4
- This week I have completed 4F and the students have to create a google slide presentation for NC Natural Resources. The students are working in groups and each student has their own specific roles.
- Standard 5
- This week I have been able to complete standard 5B because I was able to sit in on a professional growth seminar that discussed behavior so it was really interesting to see and hear ideas on how to decrease behavior issues within the classroom!
WOW....You have indeed had a busy and productive week. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear how the use of the doorbell works for managing transitions.
Take care!!
Bailey,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the doorbell and would love to hear if it works for you! It might be something I need to try to better my management process as well. I agree that it has been difficult trying to get everything done in the short amount of time it feels we have in a day. I find myself working nonstop from the time I get up till I lay my head down at night. We can do this though just push through we are at the halfway mark!
Bailey,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of using a doorbell for classroom management! I think having a signal for the students that is consistently used will help them know what is expected of them. It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job! Student teaching is tough, but keep your head up and keep pushing through!
