Active Character Building

This presentation will display how I assessed 3 students in a character building unit about 12 core virtues. Each student was asked to do a self assessment of how they felt personally about the 12 virtues. After assessing the pre tests I took into account as to how students personally felt about his or her attitude towards character building. After a 15 lessons, students took a post test to determine if he or she has improved in 12 virtues of character we worked on. ( ex. Kindness, Self- Control, Diligence.. etc. )

About Time

A fifth grade class has been learning about time. They have been working on using text to support their answers. The goal was to be able to comprehend what they read. The fifth graders had to think of why people need to find ways to tell time. After reading “About Time” by Bruce Koscielniak and spending four days discussing time, they were asked to write a response to the essential question. The essential question was, “Why do people need to find ways to tell time?” They students were able to improve their writing and use the text to support their answers.

Under the Sea Picture Book

This is about a 5th grade class that I taught this year. The students had to research a sea creature of their choice and write a realistic fiction story based on their creature. They were given a pre-assessment before the unit and then a post-assessment once the unit was taught. They were graded on the same rubric both times. The students’ growth from the pre and post assessment is noticable.

Planting and Growing Flowers

My objective for this unit was “What steps can someone follow to plant and grow flowers?” I taught this unit to 26 kindergarteners. I asked students this question before I taught the unit and after I taught it to see if they understood the unit. Students knew the steps in planting and growing flowers by the end of the week.

Are You Smarter than a 6th Grader?

An assessment of materials taught this year. Focus on the evaluation of 3 students’ progress in the span of one chapter, eleven lessons, & four learning targets. These 6th grade students learn how to calculate a part of another part, a.k.a. fraction-sense; discover how to multiply fractions, mixed numbers, & decimals; find the area of shapes, including rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, & trapezoids; & break complex shapes into smaller pieces to find area. Let’s see if you can do any better…

Writing in Kindergarten

My Work Sample this year focused on Writing at the Kindergarten level. This subject interested me because students at this age are just beginning the process of writing. It was just that, a process. It was thrilling to see these students start with no skills & knowledge & develop their minds to forming sentences & producing words. Each student wrote a short story with all of the elements. The creativity involved with students five or six years was astounding. This unit was not a pre-planned curriculum.

Setting the Perfect Classroom Climate

This poster presentation will be a display of my work sample. All teachers know that the first day of the school year is the most important. The way that you portray yourself & your classroom will set a standard for the rest of the year. It is very vital that on the first day the teacher sets a particular climate. This poster will give information about the importance of the first impression as well as give tips & activities a teacher could do to immediately start creating a positive relationship with their students.

Kindergarten Concept Words

These words are based on a test called the Boehm Concept Language Test. Within the test students must mark pictures that describe the statement connected to the pictures. I took this test & broke apart the words into different lessons so that the students could get practice on the words that they may not know. To teach these words the unit will incorporate Language Art standards as well as Speaking & Listening standards. There are more content areas covered, however, the majority of the Unit focuses on these content areas. The main goal of this unit is to not only to further their understanding of the words but to also help them succeed on the Boehm Concept Lang.

Literature Novel Study

My work sample was a literature novel study as a whole class reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. This is a fun book in which the students are practiced their decoding skills with nonsense words, sequence of events, vocabulary, making inferences, comprehension through context clues, and much more. As a final book report project for the novel The BFG, each student created a diorama.

Whatever the Weather

Many adults understand but are often confused by the plethora of weather conditions that affect our beautiful planet Earth. How do older children and adults come to know the science behind weather conditions such as tornadoes, blizzards, hurricanes, tsunamis, and thunderstorms? They begin by learning about weather through their senses when they are young children. Kindergarten teachers should teach children the most basic information about weather so they may have concrete experiences that help build knowledge. This can happen through hands-on lessons that allow young children to learn about weather conditions by seeing, touching, smelling, feeling, hearing, tasting and experiencing.
