First Week of School

There is nothing more exiting to me than the first week of school with students. Just walking around campus when students arrive fills me with the energy I hear and see. Smiles are copious, and laughter waves through the air. In my classroom, each student starts the year with the drive and determination to do well in school. You can see it through the small tasks they complete or the raised hands that are anxiously waiting to participate. These small moments with my new students motivate me to keep their energy and excitement levels elevated throughout the remainder of the school year.  This is what fuels me to overcome challenges and take risks in my classroom.  Each minute I spend focused on my classroom is for them: my students.  So of course it is fitting that I dedicate this next school year to them!  I promise to do my best each day so that their learning needs are met, their enthusiasm to learn is high, and that they leave me better prepared for their futures!
Highlights of the Week in Room 15:
1) Team-building exercises, including my favorite "Move the Water!"
2) The newly installed "Find Inspiration" window with a new inspirational quote each week.
3) Student Acceptable Use Policy presentations: they demonstrated the importance of being safe while utilizing technology.

Growth

My one word intention for 2015 is growth.  As an educator it is essential that I provide the best instruction and experiences for my students.  In order to achieve this, I know that I need to continually grow both professionally and personally.  Keeping my focus on the word “growth” will help me improve my lessons, progress on the SAMR model, and continue to meaningfully connect with my students on daily basis. When I reflect back on writing my teaching philosophy as a new teacher several years ago, I remember pondering growth and stagnation.  I knew that I never wanted to become complacent with my teaching style, curriculum, or role as an educator.  I made a promise to myself to always focus on moving forward and becoming a better educator throughout my journey.  I want to keep up that goal by consciously focusing on growth each day in my classroom as a teacher and outside of my classroom as a I prepare and create for my students.

Learning in a 100 Words or a Little More

Photo Credit: Alan Levine One of my requirements for my students is that they bring their enthusiasm to learn each day.  I realize that I can't expect them to be enthusiastic about memorizing information and reiterating it later down the line. I think that meaningful learning occurs when students are engaged and immersed in an experience.  For example, when I teach  A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley  my students create an original character to portray at a Victorian-inspired event where they share their research and learning as they portray their original Victorian character.  I still get letters from past students explaining how much fun they had and how much they learned during that unit. I know that it is essential for our students to know particular things and have certain skills, but I also know that I can help my students learn these things through collaborative experiences with some fun purposefully incorporated.  My goal is for my students...

Students Utilizing Google Sites as Digital Portfolios

As a Google Apps For Education district our students have the ability to create Google Sites with limited sharing permissions. This is great news for teachers who want to have their students build a website, but don’t want their students’ work to be public on the web. Over the past few weeks in 7th grade English/Language Arts classes at my school site, students have created digital reflective portfolios via Google Sites.  For some students, and teachers, Google Sites can be a complicated and daunting task, so I decided to put together a series of instructional videos for my students to watch as they build their Google Sites.  I housed all videos on my YouTube account, so my students would always have access to them.   Please feel free to use my videos in your classroom or to help you make your own Google Site. You can access all fifteen video here . Note: Sometimes when watching the YouTube videos at school, some of the videos would be blocked due to safety mo...
