Activities in the Classroom

Any activity that happens in my classroom will promote learning and equality. All activities will promote individual learning styles of each of the students.

Extras in the Classroom

In the classroom, I hope to have our own personal classroom library. Our books will only be on a fourth or fifth grade reading level to promote the students to read at their level. If their is a child that reads well below or well above the reading level I will be sure to stock our library with books they will enjoy. We will also have separate corners in the class for our different subjects. This will promote students to learn more about their favorite subject and will also serve as extra learning time for a student struggling in a subject.

Other Places of Learning

In my class I hope that we will take many educational trips throughout the school year. There are many place just in our county and in Mobile County where children can learn. A few of these places include Jackson's Oak Park in Daphne and the U.S.S Alabama on Mobile Bay. By doing this, I hope to teach the students that any place they go in their life, there will always be something to learn.

Strategies I Wish to use as a Teacher

In the classroom I will use a variety of teaching strategies. I will not only use the usual worksheets that are traditionally passed out, but I hope to make the process of learning fun. How I will do this is that I will turn worksheets and lessons into different games that the students can play in groups. This will promote group cooperation and group learning. I will also use any type of visual learning tool that is offered with every lesson. Not every student learns the same so I will try and teach lessons in way that every student can understand and comprehend what they need to know.

Tools I Hope to use as a Teacher...

In my classroom I hope to use blogs to keep parents up to date on what is going on and what important dates are approaching. I also think this will be good for students because they can ask me questions and get responses quickly. I will also include links to homework help websites and even the worksheets that were passed out for lessons. This way no one has an excuse not be ready for a lesson because you can just print it off the website. I will also include the reading list so that each student can have suggestions on what to read on their reading level.
