I don't remember how many posts ago I talked about the amazing growth I feel I've made this year as a teacher. It's been so inspiring to learn from the teachers around me and join a book club to gain some really challenging and motivating tips and lessons. I even hosted my first student teacher this semester. These are some pictures I took documenting this year's journey...
My book shelf, leveled by student lexile scores.
Pictures posted outside my room of our reader's theater experiences...
Our measurement unit, documented with student drawings filled with exact measurements and three-dimensional shapes as well as pictures of students exploring the measurements in the room and below the charts of the teachers' heights in the building after a height scavenger hunt one morning.
Our "FRQ" chart - Facts, Responses and Questions students had after reading a picture book about government as a class.
Our Six Traits of Writing charts - student made including their own checklists to help them become better writers -
Learning about geometric transformations...
The writing process wall - students move their little star along the writing process as they write...
This is the sun Chris painted this summer on my wall, now it hosts our vocabulary wall that we add to during our book clubs...
I am so blessed to be in this profession. Although there are mornings where I don't want to roll out of bed, and it's hard not to count the days until I'm spending afternoons at the pool with my little bikini-clad almost-toddler princess, I love being a teacher.
