Share what you learned with someone from cohort or placement school

I shared what I learned at the professional development I attended at LSU with Hannah Hebert, my classmate and fellow student teacher at my placement

# data[].attributes.body
Attend professional development activities (offered by the school, professional organizations, etc)

I attended a professional development activity put on by LSU where speakers talked about how to create a resume.

# data[].attributes.body
Write a reflection about what you learned from the reading

I read the book "Letters to a Young Teacher" over the break and wrote the following paper about it:

# data[].attributes.body
Participate in a book club related to professional readings (join one or start one with others)

Me and a friend in the Holmes program at LSU read the book "Letters to a Young Teacher" and met at a coffee shop each week to discuss it chapter by chapter

Collect data for a research project or develop your own teacher-research project

Hannah Hebert and I did our advocacy project on parental involvement and collected baseline data on the involvement of the parents.

Take one lesson and figure out how it can be modified for small group or individual instruction

For my last lesson in my TWS, we tested skittles and intended to do it as a whole group; however, my mentor teacher had a surprise observation on this day, so I was forced to pull the kids as small groups to do the experiment.

Create a new learning center

I created a STEM center during Dr. Seuss week where the students were encouraged to build Cat in the Hat's hat and make it as tall as they can. The students were also questioned during this center in order to promote higher order thinking.

Update an existing center in a meaningful way, based on contextual factors or learning objectives

I updated the block center to match the theme of the week, which was animals and habitats. The students were to build habitats for the animals that were added to the center, using the blocks as the structure for the animals to live in, and using different sheets of paper to create grass, water, and dirt according to the type of habitat the animal needs.

Use the activities during your teaching

The camera pictured in standard 39, as well as a microphone was used in calendar that was taught by me every day.

# data[].attributes.body
Create activities for morning routines (problem of the day, daily questions, check-in boards, etc)

The following photo is a camera that I made to incorporate into the classroom morning meeting. The students pretend to be "meteorologists" where they pick a camera person, tell the weather and place it on our "weekly weather forecast chart"

# data[].attributes.body
Use the math game during your teaching

The day's calendar helper counted boys, girls, and total students during every calendar lesson, just as they did in the following lesson:

Create a math game based on a specific skill

Math games were incorporated into other areas of instruction being that in Pre-K, the students do not have actual math instruction. One of these games was where the calendar helper would count all of the boys in class that day, all of the girls, and the students all together.

Reflect on the reward system, discussing effectiveness, changes, and alignment with your management philosophy

The following is a reflection of incorporating random rewards for kindness in the classroom:

Use the system during your teaching

I used the system discussed in Standard 3-24 during my full week teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Create a positive reward system in addition to what the mentor teacher is doing

During my full teaching week, I would randomly reward students who were on task, showing kindness to others, etc. I would do so by giving them random prizes, such as stickers, for their behavior without warning or threatening using them.

Develop an assessment partnership with another professional to inform your instruction

Through partnership and observation of my mentor teacher, I was able to develop an assessment method for my TWS that was age-appropriate and that determines the students' ability accurately.

# data[].attributes.body
Work with your mentor teacher to develop an authentic measurement

Through observing my mentor teacher and her means of assessment, I was able to develop a form of assessment for my TWS to measure students' success.

# data[].attributes.body
Develop a rubric to discuss content in science or social studies

For my TWS, I created a rubric in order to judge the students' ability as well as the success of my unit.

Go to an ancillary class and take notes on two children

Practice using a math checklist/anecdotal notes

I took anecdotal notes on two students' abilities over all subject areas, including math in the completion of my two assessment portfolios.

Do a lesson that incorporates 3 developmental domains

During my TWS, I did a series of integrated science/reading/math lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Implement lesson plan, documenting/assessing child's progress and offering implications

I implemented 5 lesson plans during my full week. During this time, I was also tracking the progress of all students as well as offering implications for two students on my assessment portfolios.

Use observations to generate a lesson plan for differentiation/instruction

In order to get students more engaged in the morning meeting lesson, I created a more engaging morning routine where students act out the part of meteorologist and cameraman or camerawoman. I also started allowing the calendar helper to pick classmates to answer questions, which has resulted in a larger number of involved students as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Establish a system or method to create a community of learners, and encourage friendship and teamwork

During our daily calendar, I integrated a portion where the "calendar helper" would choose classmates to assist them when they needed a refresher on how to write numbers/letters. I also incorporated a portion where the "calendar helper" would choose friends to help come up with words that begin with the letters of the week. This allowed students to have teacher-guided conversations with each other about their letters, which allowed room for teamwork as well as friendship.

Write a reflection after creating the newsletter about what you learned/will do to engage families regularly

Prior to creating and sending out this newsletter, I wrote a family engagement plan that states how I plan to engage families in my own classroom

# data[].attributes.body
Develop and introduce new ways to involve families in the classroom community

For our advocacy project, my partner and I created several ways for the parents to get involved. One of these was through sending out flyers (such as the color run flyer). We also created a community resource guide that gave parents ideas of how they could get involved in their child's education.

Communicate with families using  a technology app like Remind 101

The following note was sent via remind:
