I spent more time trying to understand the curriculum, while adding elements that were most useful for my diverse class.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been challenged with teaching and how sometimes you have things that do not go as planned. I have began to realize that if I do everything I can for my students then I am never failing.

# data[].attributes.body
I experienced the most growth at using technology in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I allow more time for my students to process information by having them partner share with their elbow partner. Students repeat instructions to each other or motivate each other before a spelling test. This has been positive this semester because students are able to process the information.

# data[].attributes.body
I have created rotating stations this year, so students are all able to work in a small group every week.

My biggest challenge has been centers. I feel I loose control of my classroom and I can not monitor my kids work.

One thing that I have struggled with this semester, is time management. Specifically when creating a lesson and having to determine what is going to be the most beneficial for students to fit into the time. I found myself hurrying through lessons at the beginning of the semester to teach the content. However, I am realizing that it is the quality of the lesson that matters rather than the time of the lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned to communicate more with colleagues and support staff such as academic coaches and our clinical supervisor. I have learned to ask for help when needed.

# data[].attributes.body

This year, my time management has improved just a bit. I am able to make myself make more time for me and not just spend it on work.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are beginning to read words and it is so so exciting!! I am really proud of them.

Balancing time between lesson length, unit momentum, and extracurriculars

# data[].attributes.body
I had to establish new procedures and routines in the middle of the semester and I feel this was done more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

# data[].attributes.body
Lesson planning was really bad at the beginning but after talking to my mentor and seeing examples I feel much more confident. Also during centers time I would stress out about how chaotic it would get and now I have a system down.

# data[].attributes.body
This semester I found myself overwhelmed and lacking in confidence due to it. that reflected on my teaching, my students behavior, and our overall classroom environment. I am working on using the tools provided to me to benefit my students learning, ask for help when needed, take the necessary breaks to be the best I can for those kids everyday, and remind myself these years are meant for leaning and growth. I am leading by example to my kids that if we don't give up we will find success.

I was nominated as teacher of the month at my school.

I learned how to set more clear expectations for students to follow, routines, and setting appropriate times for questions and answers.

One thing that I have experienced a lot of success in this semester, is my classroom environment. Not only do my students let me know they feel safe in my classroom, but fellow staff members also make comments on the environment of my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a student who gets the whole class off topic. Very sweet student but a lot of time is taken away because he likes to share a lot of information for the class. Steps I took were reaching out for help to figure out why he calls out. Instead of seeing it as a negative I reached out to see how I can help him and myself to stay on task.

# data[].attributes.body
Working very closely with my kiddos, as a class they have improved their behaviors. They have learned the difference between flight and fight which in turned has taught them how to react in certain situations.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly just finishing my TPA was the biggest accomplishment this semester because it helped me improve my lesson planning.

# data[].attributes.body
I have struggled with time management this semester. This year has been overwhelming and felt like I didn't have time for all the things. I have learned to prioritize tasks and taking appropriate time to finish work outside the classroom and meet appropriate deadlines. I hope to improve through the remainder of the year.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been overwhelmed at times due to students behavior. It seems like everything I have tried to implement is not working. I feel like I am failing at managing my class at times.

# data[].attributes.body
My students are in very different levels. When doing a whole group lesson, some students finish much sooner than others. I want to make sure I have adequate challenges in place for them so they continue to grow.

# data[].attributes.body
I need to learn how to implement them!

# data[].attributes.body
For my ELA class I have about 27 students which is difficult to have everyone work at the same pace. I have created ELA groups in order to specifically group students with others at their level. It will also let me work with smaller amounts of students.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been able to see reading growth from assessments, silent reading, and individual student to teacher reading.

Finally finishing school work. Looking forward to giving more time to my class and helping my students grow.

# data[].attributes.body
I have had major break throughs with a student. Hes one who pushes authority figures away, hates school and work, and is very discouraging to himself. We have found a system that works to keep him engaged and encouraged in the classroom settings. His behavior has grown and he is eager to participate and work hard with me in class.

# data[].attributes.body
This area has always been challenging for me. I try to plan out obtainable goals to accomplish daily.

With looking at test score from the beginning of the school year to the end of Quarter 1 I was able to see the progress and growth of my students writing! The bond that I have grown with my students warms my heart.

# data[].attributes.body
My students come from a really small community so they are incredibly comfortable with each other and I came in as the outsider. Now I’m pretty comfortable in their small community even though I don’t live there.

This semester was challenging and full of unexpected changes for me. Switching grade levels and campuses mid year was draining. I felt that I handled the transition well and was flexible. I continued to move forward and do what was needed to be successful for my students.

# data[].attributes.body
I experienced most growth in assessing student learning throughout all academic areas. I felt that I was constantly using the same form of informal assessing, but now I can confidently initiate informal assessment with ease.

# data[].attributes.body
I've struggled to stay within designated times for subject areas. I plan to refine this after Winter break and be more strict with managing time.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a newcomer student who did not speak or understand any English, but now recognizes all alphabet uppercase and lowercase letters as well as recognizing 20 fry words! I am sad that my student will be leaving our district for another district, but I had a great opportunity to see my students growth in a short amount of time.
