In the following sections, you will be able to observe the various tools I used within my classroom to create the fun and educational atmosphere necessary for all students to learn! Being in my second year of teaching, I have used somethings borrowed, somethings new so I have had varied levels of success using the following artifacts. I have found the value in using various strategies to gage the interest and knowledge of the diverse groups of students that inhabit my classroom everyday, and I am always in search of new ways to spark the interest of young scholars, so that the class is not a predictable occurance but rather a place where everyday is one of exploration and application of knowledge. It is extremely important that the students are engaged in a meaningful way so that the content can come alive and connect to their reality.
I have found in my time with my students, that they appreciate the time I have spent to prepare a quality curriculum for them, as well as the growth that I have experienced through professional development, as well as my experience of trial and error as a new teacher. I am grateful to the educational community for giving me feedback as well as ideas that my students benefit from, as I take the lessons I have learned back to the classroom.
