I want to always remember what the difference between differentiation and scaffolding. Each build upon another, yet take the child into consideration. I have always fought for completely inclusive classrooms. I know that is something that could be logistically a struggle. But the best way for children to learn is through peers. All kinds of developing peers. Children that experience education typically as well as atypically can benefit from each other. This is where learning how to effectively differentiate and scaffold will come into play. This as well as teaching equal and equatable. Teaching children that not everything is fair or equal, just different.

I love having the ability to have children work together. In my ideal and perfect world creating the groups of children where everyone is supported. The drench that are strong academically can mentor children that experience education differently. While the teacher can also foster those children that they have something to contribute to the project. While doing this creating a project that is just more on paper. Taking time to create the projects with the class that they can produce something.

I found an article from the NEA that outlines how to make the most of the time a teacher has in a day. there is so much that is required and I want to make sure that not only what I do aligns with best practice and the standards, but will make the most of my time and their effort.

Under my ideas I talked about looking into an app web site. I have not been a person that embraces the over use of technology in classrooms. So I need to learn how to begin to change my ideas to embrace the idea that technology is not all bad. That they can be used in an appropriate way that will assist in learning rather than placing children on a tablet as the only form of learning.

Working on my technology bias. There have been some great apps to aid children in their learning. Kidspiration is the first one that I have looked into. It seems interesting. I am still on the fence with using so much technology. I understand that all the assessments as well as the standardized tests are on computers, but I still understand the defect that to much screen time can cause for children when not used in moderation. Some of the classrooms I have subed in that was not the case.

I can not remember where I heard it. Pretty sure it was in lecture. Helping create a list of to do for writing for children. Give children a check off so they know what order to do their work so they have the ability to catch the details beofre they need to turn in a final for the teacher.

Looking through notes, as well as some of the resources I have been using for all the other columns, I have found that common thread is that allowing children the time and encouragement to learn where they are. Teachers use what they know to help them assist in scaffolding and differentiation. Continued training and research to keep up on new ideas to help children is key. I do not want to be a teacher that will only do what I know.

The different organizers used in writing to assist children in organizing their thoughts. But I again on Edutopia found an article that informs teachers how to use them correctly with children. I had the opportunity to find so many more different applications for all the different subjects that are taught.

This was an eye opener for me. Having the children have a copy that they can either use their copy or post it notes to help make sense of the text that they are reading. I believe that this could also go in the best practice for readers. Helping children give themselves the power to write what they think the text means to them. Children experience the world so differently, why would they not experience words the same way? By having the ability to make their own note this would give me as a teacher the ability to see what they are thinking, as well as give me an idea of how they interpret words.

These are just a few web sites that provide activities, worksheets and ideas to time pressed teachers. Most of them also tout that their lessons are or can be tied to the Common Core standards. But who makes sure that is true? The lesson I have been learning

One of the best ideas that were presented to us in lecture was the child learning how to tell/write a story using the site words he know and using pictures. None of it had to make sense, but it had the child trying something with writing that otherwise would not have happened. This was because a teacher understood his needs as well as understanding how to think outside of the box to give him confidence in trying.

I really believe in the practice of teaching children phonetics. How could someone believe that teaching it to children is not an important idea to teach children as a pre-emergent reader?

I have found so much on Edutopia while looking for other resources during this term. I attended an inservice with the Dallas school district a few years ago. It was about the new state standards to start testing children in kindergarten for dyslexia. This is something I was excited about because I had to learn how to manage my education with it. I am always looking for ways to support children in my classrooms that expierence life the similar to me. Back in my day there was nobody in the education system to help children that expierenced life with dyslexia or ADD/ADHD. So this article gives me hope as well as insight into children in my class as well as myself.

While in class I was surprised to be told to allow children to see our mistakes as a teacher. I have always told my own children as well as my class that making mistakes is how we learn.  I found a great article on edutopia that goes over why this is so good. The information in the class as well as the article have given me more of a foundation to change my thoughts and practice.

What I found as I was thinking and reading about the strategies I have choose for this column is that they all use repetition. Reviewing the information in different formats, as well as allowing children to play with the materials that promote each goal. Finding different way to engage all levels of learners to keep the information engaging for the children to maintain interested.

I had the opportunity to teach this to some of my preschool classes. What I have enjoyed about ZooPhonics was having the children see an animal in the shape of a letter, learning a motion to go with the sound of a letter. Then as children remember and connect the 2 adding the letter with the animal shape, then removing the animal shape leaving just the letter. Engaging different strategies of learning for children that when I was teaching it kept them engages all the time repeating the same thing over and over all year.

As I was looking more into the article that was provided in class i was intrigued. What I liked about it was reviewing the text multiple times for the children in different way to keep them interested. Giving children time to master the text. Well the beautiful thing is that I have been doing it just not knowing it. In my preschool class we use the creative curriculum. There are cards for all of the activities we do with the children. As I was getting ready for my next week of class and pulling out a book discussion card I noticed that I do something similar for preschoolers. Our book discussion cards review a book many times in a week asking the children to experience the book differently each time.

I love using these examples for children that are pre readers/writers. Children learn by example. I encourage parents to write lists with children for errands, as well as shopping trips. When I show this example to parents I feel like they get what I am trying to encourage. The connection between reading and writing.

I was really intrigued by the process of the close reading. What stuck with me is how the text was reviewed multiple times, and the children did not loose interest in it. The best part is that the teacher can use a subject that the children are interested in. I watched a teacher use PokemonGo as a way to

I have been working in a Head Start classroom. On 12/3/18 we had a training day where they brought in David Matteson. He has a literacy theory that the school I work in uses. It is pushing the limits of how and what I think. I have some fundamental issues with his theory and practice. I believe that this is a good thing though. I need to be faced with different ideas, theories, and curriculum. This is going to force me to examine what I believe is best practice for the children in my class, as well as what will influence me in the future.
