When a teacher is passionate about math, their students are more likely to fall in love with math instead of resenting it. It is my job as a future educator to believe in my students so they will soon believe in themselves ]]> 2021-01-29 21:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1142580516 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1142583980 This week I learned about the different components of google doc and all the different ways I can use that to communicate with students, staff, and parents. Using google classroom would be able to provide me with many benefits like providing students with updated content and content can be more engaging. ]]> 2021-01-29 21:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1142583980 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1160938918 Today I learned about the many misconceptions that people have regarding the Common Core. However, it is important to understand that the Common core actually teaches students to use multiple methods to solve problems instead of just relying on one. It also includes tests because of the No Child Left Behind Act. The Common Core is just in place to make sure every student no matter where they live is learning the same things. It is not something that keep teachers unable to be creative in the classroom. ]]> 2021-02-03 20:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1160938918 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1160947994 This week I learned about the importance of keeping myself organized as a teacher. One way I can learn to organize all of my events and plans is through google calendar, which allows me to map out every month what I have going on so I never forget or miss anything. ]]> 2021-02-03 20:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1160947994 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1169681679 Something that I took away from today's class was the importance of the teacher's role. Teachers need to ask questions to support students while also making connections. They are there to guide the discussion, not take it over. It is also their job to bring the class together at the end of a lesson and expand on student explanations, highlighting the similarities and differences. ]]> 2021-02-05 18:30:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1169681679 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1189379525 Something that I took away from today's class was the importance of mistakes. It is time that students are applauded for the mistakes they make and use these mistakes to learn from them and to grow as students. It is also important that teachers show students that they make mistakes too, this ways students will become more comfortable making mistakes. ]]> 2021-02-10 19:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1189379525 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1189401501 Since I finished my google educator certification I will no longer be talking about that. However, I really enjoyed the introduction to number talks today because I liked how we were able to see all the different ways that people think about problems and that it shows us there is no right way to think about or solve a problem and I love that idea.]]> 2021-02-10 19:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1189401501 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1197429047 Something that I took away from today's class was the importance of number talks. Number talks are great at teaching students to interact with numbers flexibly and allows students to build their confidence when it comes to sharing their solutions and doing math mentally. ]]> 2021-02-12 17:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1197429047 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1212164536 Something that I took away from today's class was teachers need to stop ranking students by perceived ability and to stop making excuses for students because every child is capable of doing math regardless of race. I also found it upsetting that women have a low sense of belonging in math and I want this to change. ]]> 2021-02-17 17:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1212164536 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1212183177 During today's class the question about what from this pandemic do we want to bring with us was shocking to me. I always think about the things I hate about it but there are in fact some things I want to keep. I want to keep the organizing and the use of google classroom. I also want to keep the process of when you are out sick you do not have to worry about missing all of your work]]> 2021-02-17 17:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1212183177 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1220389897 Today is class we went over our Content Overview papers and I am excited to develop my own lesson plan and number talk based off of the standards I have chosen]]> 2021-02-19 20:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1220389897 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1238123461 Something that I took away from today's class is that teachers should be assigning tasks to students that will promote productive struggle and tasks that will allow students to make connections to the real world. ]]> 2021-02-24 19:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1238123461 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1238219947 This week we are working on creating lesson plans and my lesson plan is based on a first grade standard of finding unknown whole numbers using addition and subtraction. I am making sure kids use many different strategies to solve this problem and then compare and contrast the strategies. ]]> 2021-02-24 19:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1238219947 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1246090066 Asking students to compare or to do another strategy within a problem is what differentiates a task from a low level to high demanding task.

We need to stop grouping students by ability because when we do this they are going to have an even harder time catching up. All students should be told that they are smart and can do anything they put their mind to, which is why all students should be given high level content]]> 2021-03-03 17:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1265113770 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1265123172 This week I passed my google educator level 1 test, which means I can proudly and confidently navigate around google drive, docs, slides, calendar, etc. This will definitely help me when I begin teaching. ]]> 2021-03-03 17:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1265123172 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1274713691 Something that I took away from today's class is that an effective math class is where students are able to use multiple solutions to solve the problem. Also problems are made flexible for students and connect to real world situations. When a child can relate math to their life they become more engaged and motivated to do math]]> 2021-03-05 17:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1274713691 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1303770541 Today I gave my number talk to the class and although I was not able to record it it went a lot better than I was expecting. I have found through this experience that I enjoy number talks and now plan to use them as a daily routine in my math lessons]]> 2021-03-12 18:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1303770541 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1303777616 This week I spent a lot of my time prepping for my number talk so that when it came time to give it to my classmates I would feel confident and it would run as smoothly as possible. ]]> 2021-03-12 18:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1303777616 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1321595632 Something that I took away from today was how important it is for teachers to provide feedback for students and not just provide them with a grade. A grade with no feedback can add unneeded stress to a student. When giving feedback to students I need to give examples of exactly what they could do better to improve for next time]]> 2021-03-17 16:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1321595632 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1321604479 When giving instruction it is so important that teachers build on prior knowledge and to also introduce a simpler problem first and the begin to maker things more challenging. I also feel it is important for teachers to find a balance with their instruction making sure to challenge students but not over challenge them. ]]> 2021-03-17 16:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1321604479 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1330476971 Something that I took away from today's class is that teaching math is challenging but rewarding when done right. Teachers should use productive struggle and teach students that mistakes are okay. Also, it is important to teach students many different strategies to use when doing different problems ]]> 2021-03-19 16:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1330476971 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1357798312 In science it is important that students get to investigate things they are interested in.

No one is always going to agree; therefore, it is important to teach students how healthy agreements can help them further understand an idea or topic ]]> 2021-03-26 16:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1357925967 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372693811 Something that I took away from today's class is that it is important that student's learn how to have healthy discussions in science. The way to help them achieve this is for teachers to model what these healthy discussions would look like, for we cannot assume students know how to engage in these types of discussions. ]]> 2021-03-31 17:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372693811 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372701935 This week I started working on my content overview and I have decided to go with a second grade standard about plants and animals]]> 2021-03-31 17:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372701935 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372704709 we did not have class this day]]> 2021-03-31 17:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1372704709 ovella https://padlet.com/ovella/7ksj4qej0p1o9dd2/wish/1392547407 Something that I took away from today's class was how rewarding evidence gradients are for students.
