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.]]> 2019-04-17 13:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352291140 limmel2 https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352291627 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]]> 2019-04-17 13:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352291627 limmel2 https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352292150 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. ]]> 2019-04-17 13:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352292150 limmel2 https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352392855 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.]]> 2019-04-17 18:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352392855 limmel2 https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352393302 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.

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

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. ]]> 2019-04-17 18:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352400070 limmel2 https://padlet.com/limmel2/2o0mo61y71w0/wish/352400363 Use the math game during your teaching

I updated the block center to match the theme of the week, which was animals and habitats.
