Built for Learning

As an intern I have watched students get so frustrated, that they break down. I know how we can fix that. As teachers we should be able to adapt each year to the learning abilities of our students. By this I mean rearrange the classroom according to their abilities. If I had my own classroom I would want my desk in groups by the students education level but I would only have four or five in the group. I would want to have lamps or Christmas lights of some sort to have a little light and turn off the big lights I think the little kids will enjoy that better . Also I would have a couple of single desk to be able to help the kids individually. Considering the length of school hours I believe about four-five minutes would be the perfect amount of time in each period. Why? Well because you would still be able to teach a lesson without your students acting a fool because they've been sitting in one place for to long.

My first day as an intern

My First Day as an Inter: 



I was placed at North Ridge Elementary in a kindergarten class with Mrs. Briggs. She has been teaching for about fifteen years I believe. While I was there we worked on math, counting and we read and sang songs about the color green. This year I am looking forward to learning different teaching styles and how each kid learns differently.

What Would I Do?

A girl missed the bus due to leaving campus for lunch and her boyfriend to took her to the site school and when the girl got on the bus to go back to her school she asked other students not to tell the teacher because it wasn't a big deal.



If I was her I wouldn't have gone off campus to eat because I could have brought my lunch or eaten in the lunch room at school. But if I did miss the bus I would have gone to the library and did the work my teacher left for me and texted and or called my field site teacher and my teacher that I missed the bus.

Spelling Does Matter 

I believe spelling matters in everything you do. In every subject you do, every text you send, and every word you write. Spelling and proper english is an essential part of life.  One reason spelling matter is because it will help with the brain growth and ability to learn, spelling also helps with word pronunciation. Making your reading level more advanced than your grade level.
