My Future Classroom My future Kindergarten classroom will be safe, welcoming, inspiring, and encouraging place for students to flourish. As you walk in the door there will be a calendar on the wall where we go over the date every morning. It will also have a place to record the weather. It will have cubbies. On top of the cubbies there will be a place for folders from home. There will be 2 bins on top of the cubbies. One will be for returning folders, the other will be for take-home folders. There will be a basket for notes from home, and another basket for notes to go home. On the other side of the cubbies there will be a closet. The students will come in, take their backpacks off, take their folders out and put them in the bin. Then they …show more content…
They will have various reading literature stations, and various math stations that they will alternate. Their pictures will be next to the station they are supposed to go to, so that they may check themselves. There will also be 2 to 3 students in each group. They will get to know their group members, and help each other make sure they go to the right group. These students will be collaborating on various mathematical and literary/reading tasks. While they are at these stations, the teacher will be conducting guided reading with them. There will be 4 or 5 students from beginning, middle, advanced, and advanced high levels, that will take turns reading with the teacher. She will write down letters and sounds that they each need to work on. She will also check for understanding, frequently stopping and asking questions about the book. The students will each get a new book, once they finish their books and show they are able to understand. They will move to the next level when they have reached the goals of the current level. One group will be at computers, there will be 3 or 4 in the classroom for students to work at. There they will do various reading and math activities. There will be no teasing,
Within my school literacy lesson will be planed by the teachers, the teacher will go over the
| They are in filing cabinets in the area that is always in view of a staff member.
After I place the students in their groups I will then explain the rules and safety precautions at this time. I will explain that everyone would get the chance to be the leader and a follower.
The students will listen and fill-in questions while the teacher goes over as a whole-class.
Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and
-Students are working in groups with different levels of understanding. Their peers will mentor them and hold them accountable to their work.
The teacher passed around a microphone to each child, it symbolized who was speaking and this made everyone special. The students then had to write two sentences and draw a picture of what they remembered best about their holiday break. Eventually, they shared their two sentences with the teacher or me. Second, I noticed that once everyone read their journals, the teacher quickly called on students based on their bin color, which meant it was time for reading to begin. Each student had their own colored reading bin which included: three reading level books, a word list of the week, and a worksheet using the given word list. The colored bins symbolized what the student was to complete during reading time. For example; students with yellow bins read with the teacher at a table, students with green bins worked on the worksheet, students with blue bins read the three books quietly, and students with pink bins worked on writing on a small whiteboard the word list for the week. This strategy was beneficial because it developed independence. Thirdly, I noticed enthusiasm during the math lesson at the end of the day. The teacher had the students sit on the purple rug for a math lesson. The teacher used her laptop and the video clip to provide the students with visual instruction. Once the video clip was over, the teacher pulled up the worksheet to preview together with the class. Then the students went back to their desk to work on the worksheet
Some of the students have a low level of English in this group however so I make sure that concepts are fully explained and groups are mixed so as the low level English speaking students do not group together.
When I was in university, there were 2 roommates in my residence that had the same problem of not being able to find things. Their solution was to put everything in the one place. However, the only place in their dorm room big enough to hold everything was the middle of the floor. So, they emptied their closets, drawers and bookshelves into a big pile on the floor.
Ask how well your student’s group is working together, and guide them in thinking through any difficulties.
The files could be in that cabinet on the shelf or in one of those boxes.
* Try to create a sense of community where the students feel more comfortable in front of each other. One suggestion made was to have the students sit in a circle.
5) After a minute has passed, ask the students to pair up and share their ideas with their partner. (Think-pair-share)
The Magnetic Organizer will appeal to a young-older audience. Both boys and girls can be unorganized, and therefore the Magnetic Organizer is for both genders. The Magnetic Organizer can appeal to many students who have trouble being organized in school. Leaving folders, papers, or homework somewhere are constant struggles of students. Magnetic Organizers can be used by both amateurs and professionals as both need to be organized in order to either become a professional, or stay one. The disabled could probably not use this design, as the main function needed to operate my design is to pull up the bin from the magnetic lock, and be able to grab whatever is placed inside of the magnetic binder. This is not a very complex design, so it can be used without much previous knowledge on how it functions. The concept of the design can be learned fairly quick.
I will have literature circles, guided reading, and independent reading. We will have discussions as a class,
