During this exercise, we analyzed checks and created a story based on what information we were able to obtain from the checks. It was very interesting to hear the stories that people came up with, they were all so unique and creative. No answer is was considered wrong or right. The directions were student directed and allowed us to come up with our own strategies for solving the mystery.

This is great. Glad you included this in your reflection!

Great that you went back in and did a second reflection! (here you show a growing educator who knows how to adapt and adjust!)

THOUGHT STARTERS

1. What is the class's daily routine for learning the word of the day?

2. Why does Ms. Noonan have students "sit like a scholar" and wait before she says the word of the day?

3. How does the "Grab Bag Quiz" help with classroom management as students move back to their desks?

One day after Dr. King’s assassination, Elliot conducted an experiment with her third grade students to show them how it felt to be discriminated against. Brown eyed students were treated superior to blue eyed students. Elliot talked down to the blue eyed students and told them that the brown eyed people were better because they were cleaner and smarter. By the end of the day, blue eyed students felt inferior and not as confident as they were before.
Elliot was criticized by some of her colleagues and members of the community for her bold experiment. Despite such negative criticism and backlash, Elliot was invited on television and got the attention of many educators. I agree with educational psychologist, Michele Borda, who stated, “This experiment teaches our children to counter stereotypes before they become full-fledged, lasting prejudices and to recognize that every human being has the right to be treated with respect.”

This showed how we unknowingly stereotype those we don’t know based on perceptions we’ve witnessed in the past. We all had an idea of what we thought each neighbor should be like based on our own perception. It was very interesting to hear everyone’s explanations for choosing their neighbor.

Thank you. The students are enjoying reading the book. We have found many ways to connect with the characters. The book has inspired them to write great narratives using figurative and descriptive language.

I have noticed that a couple of the class rules are not specific enough so I have decided to make them more specific. However, I do believe that I have done a good job modeling classroom procedures for my students and following my created lesson plans. Now I just think I may need to specify a couple of rules and model exactly what they look like for my students.

1. Students will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery through a variety of channels such as assessments, class activities, homework, quizzes, essays,labs, projects, and portfolios.
2. Behavior, effort, and attendance are evaluated and reported separately from the academic grade.
3. Grades are based on impartial, consistent observation of the quality of student work and mastery of
the South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards and the South Carolina Academic
Standards.
4. Grades will reflect student achievement toward mastery of course contentstandards.
5. Grades are based on students’ demonstration of proficiency of course content standards at grade
level rigor.
6. Students will receive assessment feedback that is timely, specific, understandable to the receiver,
and formed to allow for self-adjustment on the student’s part.

Your lesson including students talking and sharing about a time they felt lonely and needed a friend (Because of Winn Dixie)...therefore...you are doing critical thinking :) Critically thinking about something means formulating your own opinions and drawing your own conclusions. This happens regardless of outside influence. It’s about the discipline of analysis, and seeing the connections between ideas. However, it’s also about being wide open to other viewpoints and opinions. I think you did a good job with planning for the opening of Winn Dixie..

Around this time of year, teachers start to notice things they need to do differently or change about rules/procedure..have you experienced anything you need to change at this point? Is everything going well in your class?

You sure have a great mentor! She is fantastic.

I have met my mentor. Her name is Laura Odom. We meet at least three times a week. Sometimes we talk about my workload and sometimes we just talk generally. She is very nice and helps me in any way she can.

Some of my takeaways came from the session with Dr. Williams, the STEM session, and the session about mastery connect. I am still learning how to use mastery connect. I do have a few questions about mastery connect. It was very helpful to have that inservice right before school started. As a new teacher, it was good to get some pointers before the big day.

The sessions at orientation were very beneficial. My favorite part was the giveaways and recognition of new teachers. It was very welcoming.
I attended The 3 Big Ideas About Instruction, ADEPT 4.0, Opportunities for Behavior Support, Curriculum & Technology Anyone?, Tiers Prevent Tears, and Teach Like a Champion sessions. I have used many tips given from this orientation in my classroom. I constantly maintain my organization just to keep down my stress. I have also focused on building relationships with my students. Rita Pierson motivates me to enter my classroom every day because the idea that my students need me as champion is my mantra.  I have used Kahoot, Nearpod, Class Dojo, Remind, and Pearson Realize to connect with my students and parents.
