Reflection 3

We had a full day in class yesterday. We finished up the bag of me presentations, which was fun because I got to share a little about myself with the class. We listened to the story Saturdays and Teacakes. We made a connection chart and got to share how we connected to the story. I think this is a great idea, and I don't remember any of my teachers letting us do that, so this was new to me. Words from the day went on the word wall. We had a partner activity about Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. My partner Charli and I had Reading. We made a chart about the five keys of reading as well as other important parts of Reading. We also, as a class, discussed things we would like to see in an emergent reading classroom. We said things such as a classroom library and a word wall with the students names on it. We also learned about lesson plans and how to construct objectives. I feel like this exercise helped me a lot. I will be more confident when writing out my objectives for my lesson plan. We went over things to do as teachers during the writing workshop like making a checklist for students we have helped.
