It starts the whole process of letter learning and gives life to the rest of the letters. Acceptance is something I chose here to make it clear what my classroom will be about, Acceptance. Everyone will be accepted for all of what they are worth.]]> 2020-11-05 15:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894514723 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894668847 Balance. Something every person in the world has to understand. This letter brings Balance to the world around us. Seeing the world in turmoil but being able to go go and relax, thats balance. Seeing how you can manage having two kids while still working full time and going to school that's balance.]]> 2020-11-05 16:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894668847 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894689804 Culture. This is the defining moment in the Alphabet. Seeing all the world and seeing how they may differ from my day to day life is something I will always cherish. Being an educator of younger generations will give me the advantage over older generations because they know how their homes are and see them for the beauty they are and I get to experience with them. ]]> 2020-11-05 16:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894689804 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894763753 Diversity. In the modern classroom diversity is crucial to the advancement of each student. Being able to see each student from all backgrounds really helps grow their mindset and feel more comfortable in the classroom, seeing those other students. Some similar but some very different and that all is great for classroom growth.]]> 2020-11-05 16:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894763753 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894811752 Equality. Being able to share everyones thoughts and emotions without anyone putting anyone down for whatever reason. Equality is always the focus in my classroom. Everyone has the right to be treat as the person sitting next to them.Equality fits in this Remix because it to me is the foreground to a great conversation and a great learning opportunity in the classroom.]]> 2020-11-05 16:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894811752 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894866033 Future. The children future is a very important part of education. This fits here because without a knowledge of where they can go the students may not ever get there. The future is to some people hard to imagine but if you don't look forward you may not be able to see what is around you. Stuck in the same place forever isn't something I would promote, trust me been there done that but showing our students how we can look forward and see a brighter future is great for their minds.]]> 2020-11-05 16:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894866033 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894888259 Guidance. This is crucial part of education. Giving the students the Guidance they need to get through some hard times but also support they may need or thrive on. Student need to be guided through education. we aren't fact givers we need to guide them to find the answer they need.]]> 2020-11-05 17:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894888259 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894947738 Humility. This is part of the alphabet is where we get into the middle of the letters. The meat of the sandwich. Humility is putting someone else above you. Using their needs as a means to push the conversation. Humility gives the sense of love and nurture to the classroom setting. Making every student feel the same sense care and compassion.]]> 2020-11-05 17:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/894947738 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895085127 Inequality. This word has a lot of background to it. From history to now inequality is something minorities deal with daily. It is important here because we all need to understand the wrongful treatment of those minorities. It is a very important topic to talk about with students even in Kindergarten. Telling them the stories shown in history but doing it in a way they can understand.]]> 2020-11-05 17:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895085127 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895126054 Justice. This letter means a lot for certain groups around the world. But here in the U.S.A. it is something preached for centuries. Justice is not only how the courts decide their verdicts but something we can teach our students Justice can be taught to students by history. Not just the wrongful outcomes the past years have shown us but the History of our country. ]]> 2020-11-05 17:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895126054 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895201481 Kindness. Being kind to other has been taught in schools for decades. The golden rule taught in my elementary classrooms was based around this idea of kindness. This letter K has been good and bad throughout history. But through the years Kindness has always overcame the bad we see and feel through the world. Teaching Kindness isn't a hard thing to do while still giving the lessons needed for the children to succeed.]]> 2020-11-05 18:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895201481 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895226858 Love. Love can be a complicated word to most people. But to some people it is very simple. Love can tie a lot of these words I have used here together pretty well. Kindness, Equal, Acceptance. All words that can be described with Love. Treating others with respect and loving nature they deserve. Love in the classroom wo all students who either need it or simply because they deserve it as basic Human beings.]]> 2020-11-05 18:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895226858 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895308104 Matter. A bit of a different word placed here but can mean so much to a younger student. Being taught they matter is a fundamental part of a child's education. matter to some can just be a word they learn about in science class but in my classroom it will be a way students can feel they truly exist in the realm of my classroom. ]]> 2020-11-05 18:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895308104 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895372143 Normal. This also is a crucial part of a child's education because being 'normal' is so throw around like everyone has to be the same. No one person is a the same as the other thats what makes us all Abnormal. Yes we may share things that are the same but not exactly the same. So the word normal isn't and won't be used in my classroom. We are now in the middle of the Alphabet.]]> 2020-11-05 18:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895372143 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895418427 Oath. Taking an Oath is something people of power take to hold their non-judgements against others. As teachers we take a silent oath to treat all our students with the same respect they all deserve. An Oath to a child may not mean much but can come in different forms. Always being fair to all students and giving each student Equal opportunities.]]> 2020-11-05 18:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895418427 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895481455 Power. Having power comes from the voice you have. Students can learn to use their voice without being disrespectful to everyone. Saying anything has power and coming from an educator the student will think one think even if that teacher meant something different. As educators we need to watch how we say things but also promote their voice and not silence.]]> 2020-11-05 19:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895481455 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895512011 Quality. People seem to think that Quality and Quantity can be interchanged. Quality is so much more important. All students deserve the same Quality education that some students either from a wealthy community or a private school gives their students. Not run down materials or supplies they need to survive as a student in their communities.]]> 2020-11-05 19:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895512011 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895537906 Respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T Aretha Franklin said it best. Students need this to give it. Teachers are great models of everything for students and tend to take what they do from their teacher and parents. If you give respect to them they will learn to give it back. Respect is like a road going two ways. It's just as much about taking as it is giving.]]> 2020-11-05 19:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895537906 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895569266 Safe. Safety is key to a student. Giving them a safe place to think and work and just be who they are. Feeling comfortable is crucial for all students and giving them a creative space where they can have their thoughts. Safety not just building an environment but building trust between the students and teacher.]]> 2020-11-05 19:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895569266 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895650872 Thoughtful. Being thoughtful is another word that can build trust between teachers and students. Being thoughtful to the students can easily help their self esteem. Thoughtfulness fit here because it is another way to build a safe environment for the students as they continue their education.]]> 2020-11-05 19:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/895650872 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900208992 Unconditional. This word means a lot coming from a teacher to their students. This word fit perfect here in a culturally relevant classroom. Unconditional can be a great way we make our students feel when in our classroom. Having this Uncontested and Unconditional love for them as genuine human beings.]]> 2020-11-07 16:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900208992 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900227855 Voice. Everyone has a voice and for students they seem to think they don't have a Voice. I have included this into my Remix because it is important for students to have the voice they want and need. Having a voice is a very important thing for students to know they have. They do not have to sit by the sidelines and wait for things they have a voice to make change.]]> 2020-11-07 17:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900227855 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900258623 Wholesome. I used this word because it can mean so much. From a students eyes being wholesome and genuine to the students about topics they could be sensitive to. Giving those students a sense of comfortability in the classroom and with that teacher. As educators we NEED to be wholesome to all of our students. Wholesome can be done in many ways; having an open heart for all students, giving all students equal opportunities, having an open classroom where students feel safe and can talk without being closed off.]]> 2020-11-07 17:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900258623 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900309533 Xenophobe. This to me is one of the most important words I have chosen on this remix. This is the fear of people different from yourself, and in school this is something we can not have is fear. People who are different are what shape children's minds to see what can be different. But it's not about being different because in my classroom being different is celebrated. Cultures are all welcome and races and ethnicities are celebrated but most of the the child is celebrated.]]> 2020-11-07 18:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900309533 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900310314 Youth. Youth is a great word to add here because children think they need to move past this so quickly. We need to promote youth with our students while giving them the keys to their future. They can't rush past the fact they are children first and need to be children. Have fun but also learn to think first.]]> 2020-11-07 18:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900310314 ChristianWeinke https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900310398 Zoom. Zoom for the meetings can still make school possible. School is a very important thing in students lives and during a pandemic Zoom schooling is a great way to make sure the students of our future can still get their education. Yes it is a huge adjustment for not only the students but the teachers and parents as well. ]]> 2020-11-07 18:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ChristianWeinke/b9isx1gzpon9wf56/wish/900310398
