When a student answers a hard question correctly or has a great response, I say "Good job _____" and the students echo what I say by saying "Good job ____". Then I say "we are proud of you" and the students echo and say "we are proud of you" (I say it as a jingle, from a cheer so it has little pep to it). Another thing I do when a student or students do something that makes me proud, I say "pat yourself on your back!". To promote thinking and learning, when I ask a question to the students before we have a think-pair-share or a class discussion, I say "now, let's grind those thinking gears and get that brain working", the students pretend to grind gears by their head. ]]> 2018-10-12 01:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292005631 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292006414 2018-10-12 01:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292006414 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292007809 2018-10-12 02:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292007809 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/292007937 1.

From my observation of the conference, it went very well. Both parents attended the conference and were very hands on and seemed to be involved in their child's learning and education. They asked for resources or tips from the teacher for homework assignments and various things they could work on at home with the student to prepare him for class. The main topic of the conference was the student's behavior. They conversed about how it mainly certain days when his behavior is a concern, and the parents assured my mentor teacher that they were working on correcting the behavior at home. ]]> 2018-11-29 01:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309113226 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309113399 I completed 3 DRA's on multiple children.

Before the completion of our TWS and our full week of teacher, we sat down with the associate teachers from both 1st Grade classrooms and collaborated together to create the pre and post assessments for our TWS. ]]> 2018-11-29 02:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309117682 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309118091 2018-11-29 02:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309118091 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309120578 2018-11-29 02:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309120578 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309125713 *See checklist for proof of completion.*

I used these three transitions throughout my teaching frequently. I used the 'Show Me a Line' transition before lining up for lunch every day. ]]> 2018-11-29 03:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309125713 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309126081 I reinforced the teacher's use of "warm fuzzies" every time the class did something good, or received a compliment from another teacher or ancillary teacher. In addition to her system, I used pencils to reward the students who had 4 or less marks throughout the entire week. I also reward the students who made 100's on their AR test with a bookmark. ]]> 2018-11-29 03:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309126081 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309126470 *See the checklist for proof of completion*

In my honest opinion, I saw that the students were not receiving the praise they deserved, therefore I began to reward them more often during my teaching. As for the pencils for a reward as good behavior or 4 or less marks for the week, I initially planned to give them for no marks during the week but I quickly realized that would not work out so I had to adjust my requirements. As for the bookmarks for the AR test, I did observe that more students were eager to read using the bookmarks I gave them. ]]> 2018-11-29 03:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309126660 thays3 https://padlet.com/thays3/pbvt15keaw2b/wish/309128064 For the math game I created a game including 10 counting cubes, a dry erase marker, and a dry erase board.
