Seating Charts
At the entry of my classroom, I maintain seating charts for each class. This definitely helps with contact tracing for COVID-19 and minimizing unwanted behaviors.

2nd Grade Assignment
Students were given this sort activity to demonstrate their understanding of the three states of matter. During the assignment I noticed several students were having difficulty recognizing the words. This barrier made it difficult for me to assess their knowledge of the science content. Next, I had students complete sorting activity that had pictures as examples instead.

Observation Reflection
For my 5th grade science lesson, there were several learning outcomes I was trying to achieve. First, I wanted students to make cross curricular connections and apply new knowledge to the real world. Then I wanted students to gain an understanding of CERs (claim, evidence, and reasoning). And lastly, I wanted students to utilize writing effectively in another discipline. I believe all the above were achieved during my lesson. I have noticed the lack of participation of female students in comparison to their male counterparts. I am currently seeking ways to mitigate this.

Although I did not meet my SLO goal that was set, 97% of my students made growth between the pre and post test, demonstrating their understanding of thermal energy. I think that alone shows my effectiveness as an educator and student success should be celebrated.
