Tina's Talk: Student's Writing (2-14-08)
http://tinastalk-tina.blogspot.com/2008/02/student.html
Thursday, February 14, 2008. Over the past two weeks I have learned many new techniques on how to look at children's writing. Not only the convention aspect of writing, but the ideas of organization, word and sentence variety, and fluency. I found that looking into student's work with more detail allows us as teachers to accomdate everyone's needs. Great connection to what we learned in class and let me know how applying what you have learned in class works for your experience at your school on tuesday.

Thursday, March 13, 2008. Tuesday was quite a day! Most of this went well. Except for the fact that my one hour time slot was slashed down to thirty minutes! How do you squeeze anything into thirty minutes? Especially everything I just described! I panicked and immediately became stressed out! First I have to say that I loved your lesson as a whole, and I can tell that you must have spent a lot of time planning and preparing your lesson. I especially loved your initiation, what a great idea! I absolutely...

Saturday, March 8, 2008. Tonight was a very interesting night for me! We were able to share some great ideas with one another - such as classroom management, seating arrangements, and classroom libraries. For student teaching and when I have my future classroom, I will certainly collaborate with friends that are already teaching! Have you had the opportunity to talk with others that are already in the field? Have you had the opportunity to talk with others that are already in the field? Not being an expe...

One Blog, Two Blog, Red Blog, Blue Blog: Science Lesson
http://taylorsliteracycorner.blogspot.com/2008/04/science-lesson.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Today, I did a science lesson with the fourth-graders about the reflection and absorption of light. This lesson was the first of the light unit and I don't think the lesson have could have much better! For the lesson, I divided the class into five groups and assigned each group member a role (recorder, reporter, scientist, and group leader). When creating the groups ahead of time, I decided to mix up the students a bit more than normal. It sounds like the lesson went really well!

http://taylorsliteracycorner.blogspot.com/2008/03/progress-of-my-literature-circle.html
Thursday, March 6, 2008. The Progress of My Literature Circle. As I had mentioned previously, I started my literature circle with my group of fourth graders. I was given the option by the teacher to decide which book to use and I selected Sounder by William H. Armstrong. I selected this book because I have never read the book and also because I could tell how interesting the story would be by skimming the pages and looking at the illustrations. I think that it is great that you are able to try out the di...
