The Teacher Will Divide Class Into Partners

When we want to stimulate the child’s senses we start them with the sensory tables. Each table consists of a tub that stimulates a different sense. When you stimulate the senses you help to stimulate the child cognitively, and emotionally as well. This can be achieved through science experiments such as the one we did over the holiday with a pumpkin and what does it smell like and feel like on the first day what about before it is carved vs after it is carved. We do this with all the kids from ages 3 to school age.

In conclusion, the sensory bin I used was based off of the book, “Ten Little Ladybugs.” I chose this book because I had a lot of ideas for the bin and thought the students would enjoy the sensory element in the actual book. The bin mimicked the outdoors; this was by layering brown paper (dirt), green ribbon (grass) and the animals and insects on top. I incorporated many different textures in the bin, some that were similar to nature and some that were not similar to nature. Overall, I believe the students enjoyed the sensory

Often, we do not realize just how important our taste and smell senses are to every day life. We go about our day and do the normal human thing. We sleep, eat, shower, get dressed, go to school, work, etc. What if our sense of taste and smell were taken away? How would it change these every day routines? If there were a house fire while we were sleeping and we could not smell the smoke, what would happen? What if we could not taste or smell the food we were eating? What if we could not smell if our bodies were clean when we showered? As a nurse, what if I could not smell a foul odor in regards to urine or

In my classroom, I demonstrate collaboration by attending the Kinder PLC meeting every Tuesday. These meetings help the grade level teachers to collaborate. For example, to come up with ideas on how to teach a specific concept, talk about any updates, student assistance team (SAT) , and data analysis. I demonstrate collaboration by working with my colleagues to come up with writing prompts and writing rubrics. By doing this we make sure the expectations in each classroom are the same.

In terms of understanding of the world the children used their senses to investigate objects and materials by used. The children also constructed letters with an object and adapted their work where necessary.

Chapter 5 provided explanation for many methods that I will implement into my classroom to increase desirable behavior from my students. But the biggest take away from Chapter 5 that I have is the fair-pair rule. This rule states that whenever there is a behavior we want to decrease; we need to have a good behavior there to take its place.

If the children work together or side by side, they have the opportunity to learn from each other. The children also learn to share their ideas with others. If one of the children is too small to understand the procedure, have material available for the child to use hand-eye coordination Have them tie shoes or zip zippers to use their fine motor skill or run, throwing a ball to use their gross motor skill. They can also mix, measure, or pour the required material for the experiment.

The image I found for bitter hopefully will be funny for students and they might be able to relate to trying cocoa powder and thinking it would be sweet. The image I will show for salty examples what parts of the tongue. It will relate back to taste buds. The image for spicy is also humorous. Gives a great representation of how spicy tastes. I then want to have different foods that example the tastes and let students try them. They can look at the image I provided for salty for reference and see if they can taste the tastes on those parts of their tongue. The image I provided for smell is little complex for their understanding but I only want them to see that sense of smell involves more than just your nose. There are a lot of internal parts that make sense of smell happen. The video that goes along with the image is a song about your nose and sense of smell. It will back of the image that sense of smell is more than the nose. The image I found to example sense of touch is great! I want to show it and have students describe how they think it feels. Then tell them that is feels a certain way because of our sense of touch. Then play the video about how the sense of touch

Every year, millions of animals are killed for the purpose of classroom dissections. These animals include but are not limited to frogs, fetal pigs, sharks, mudpuppies, pigeons, mice, foxes, turtles, dogs and cats. The majority of animals used in dissections cannot be used again, leading to a demand in more animals for dissection each year. The use of live and preserved specimens has been the preferred method in both high school and college biology classrooms. However, there is growing concern as to the effectiveness and necessity of dissections. If cruelty-free options are available and have been proven to be just as, or more effective than traditional methods, then the basic ethical principle rules that we chose the less harmful method (Balcombe,

“A Class Divided” was an intriguing video that encompasses not only the social aspects of racisms but also psychological factors that contribute to cultural differences. I truly thought that this video was an eye opening experience, which not only served as a simple experiment, but also served as an educational lesson in how simple, not only children, but also grown adults can be consciously or unconsciously taught into discrimination.

Observe the students during discussion and use a class list to write down commentaries each kid makes. Take a picture of each building with the children who created it. Ask them to tell you about their makings. Review the concept word strips and use them when commenting on each child’s building. Print the pictures and create a book for the students to look at with their observations and the pictures they drew.

When I completed high school, I started a tutoring class in which my friend joined me. There are many children from poor background in the slum near where I live who could not afford holiday tutoring offered in other places. As we were just out of high school our memories and knowledge was still fresh. We initially had a class of just five students but the number grew to over twenty in one and a half weeks. We teach them Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. I take Physics and Chemistry. This was a success and it gave me inspiration and motivation. I felt happy knowing I was changing someone’s life directly by helping them improve their grades. It inspired me and made me want to help as much people as I could. It also helped me in gaining confidence

The way(s) this will be accomplished: In the area set up for drawing, the children will be asked to draw what emotion they are feeling. The preschoolers will accurately have to interpret their emotion on paper. In the sensory bin area, the children can search through the colourful bubble water and match the correct emotions to the designated boxes outside the sensory bin.

Observation is something that educators do carefully to gain information about young children. Documentation is the process of collecting evidence that serves as a record. When teachers observe the young children, it provides the information that the teachers need to build relationships with individual children and enable them to be successful learners. The best way the teachers should learn about children by carefully watching them, listening to them and studying their work. When the teachers are watching and listening to children helps us understand what they are feeling, learning and thinking. Observation is an excellent way to track children’s
