This place been allowed me to learn a lot about students and how they come into the classroom with different knowledge. I want to learn more about teaching high frequency words and letters to young learners. ]]> 2020-06-04 22:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612018577 Interest venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612018656 This became of interest to me because of how important emotional development and emotional learning is for students. This is somewhat of new research for many educators and is very important to ensure that our students are emotionally available and emotionally reflective. I have learned in my Practicum's to encourage my students to build deep connections and be in tune with their emotions on how they are doing/feeling.]]> 2020-06-04 22:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612018656 Interest venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612018706 Students confidence is a key factor in their motivation towards Learning. I have seen my practicum in a grade 3 for class that I had one student who was unavailable in terms of motivating himself. He was very bright and one on one was able to do the work provided, but always needed constant redirection to do the work as he felt he did not fit in, in our class. He became very important to me as an educator to ensure that I rewarded the student and praised him at any chance I had. This was to help his confidence in addition to him being more able to take risks in our classroom as it became a safe space for them. ]]> 2020-06-04 22:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612018706 Affected my practice.. how? venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019129 Learning more in depth about how to teach the alphabet and early words to students will be something I want to focus on in the future. Can a garden this past year allowed me to understand the students come into the classroom with a plethora of experiences. Some students are ready new site words while some students were not able to identify any letters. The research has taught me that all students learn at their own pace and what is important is consistency for their development. The quote from the resource shows me that ELLs may benefit from increased exposure to letter sounds and the separation of difficult unknown sounds and taught me not to focus on rote memorization. Students need to see the letters in their daily lives.]]> 2020-06-04 22:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019129 Affected my practice.. how? venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019265 Being socially and emotionally available and in tune is important in teaching. In regard to teaching ELL, these students need to be able to not only learn english, but learn and practice treating people with respect and have empathy. This is important because ELL students may face barriers in terms of not fully understanding the language right way, so we need to teach these students that they have to learn about feelings and how what they do can affect others. The quote from the resource shows educators that SEL is not just for benefiting the students in the classroom, it has lasting effects especially for those who are ELL.]]> 2020-06-04 22:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019265 Affected my practice.. how? venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019300 Low self-esteem can lessen a student's desire to learn, their ability to focus, and her willingness to take risks. Positive self-esteem, on the other hand, is one of the building blocks of school success; it provides a firm foundation for learning. After learning the importance of building a students self-esteem and confidence I want to hold myself accountable for always placing my students in the centre of their learning and encouraging them to be positive with regards to their self image. This relates to ELLs because they have to feel they are welcomed, accepted, and not made fun of. I have heard many students say that they are made fun of when they do not say something correctly. This pertains mostly to ELLs. As educators, we have to remain vigilant in ensuring that our students are always feeling confident, positive, and successful.
The quote I used from the academic article shows us that students have to be successful in non-academic ways as well. These ELL students in the study spoke more when it was not about academics. This is something teachers need to be aware of and to provide these students with time to do this socialization to increase their BICS. ]]> 2020-06-04 22:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612019300 Social and Emotional Learning venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612020655 2020-06-04 22:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612020655 Learning Letters and Their Sounds venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612024200 2020-06-04 22:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612024200 Building Confidence venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612025159 2020-06-04 22:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612025159 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612029373 2020-06-04 22:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612029373 Settlement.org venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612029643 2020-06-04 22:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612029643 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612030299 2020-06-04 22:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612030299 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612030621 2020-06-04 22:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612030621 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612031055 2020-06-04 22:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612031055 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612031310 2020-06-04 22:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612031310 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612036551 2020-06-04 22:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612036551 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612036765 2020-06-04 22:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612036765 venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612037214 2020-06-04 22:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612037214 Universal Design For Learning venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612043075 2020-06-04 23:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612043075 Quotes from the Literature venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612044834 "ELLs often face challenges when learning to read and speak in English. English letter sounds may also be harder to acquire for ELLs with native sound systems highly discrepant from English. Through IR, ELLs may benefit from increased exposure to letter sounds and the separation of difficult unknown sounds across sets. This approach reduces demands placed on working memory facilitating the acquisition of the letter sounds in an emergent language"]]> 2020-06-04 23:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612044834 Quotes from the Literature venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612045778 "The more SEL is integrated into the natural,
normal ways of being together in the classroom, the more students’ social and emotional skills
will improve. When SEL is given ample time to develop and is robustly integrated into the
curriculum, over time ELLs are likely to show meaningful improvements in classroom behavior,
attendance, and overall achievement. Social emotional learning in the elementary mainstream
classroom might well be the missing key for ELLs to achieve long-term success inside of and
beyond the classroom"]]> 2020-06-04 23:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612045778 Quotes from the literature venneri3 https://padlet.com/venneri3/ELL/wish/612047000 "children were more linguistically engaged and their language
use was heavier during non-academic (vs academic) activities. The activities that most engaged
bilingual children (and encouraged them to speak) were pretend play, monkey bars, and dramatic
play; these were closely followed by peer-book reading, dance party, and singing. All of these activities
are considered free-play, non-academic activities. Higher engagement levels during free-play
may be due to the fact that children could select what (and with whom) they wanted to play."
