My first couple weeks have been very exciting, I love how much I am involved in the classroom. I have been given the opportunity to run morning meetings, I already did one of my read alouds, I have had my own stations to run, I gave a verbal math test, corrected papers, and the engagement continues! My CT is an inspiration for me! She is the kind of teacher I want to be! She creates a safe experience for students, maintains classroom management, distinguishes methods to help certain students succeed, and make sure that students are equal in learning the same information. I am so excited to see what else these next few weeks bring me!
Questions:
1) Does your school use the "Wonders" program? If so, what have you learned from it that could make you a better teacher?
2) What kind of classroom management skills does your CT use in their class?
The school that I am in uses the "Wonders" program. I actually just learned about the program a couple of days ago. I think it is a great program and my co-teacher has showed me that you cannot only take lessons from a program you really need to fix it to your students and technology. According to my co-teacher the program comes with a lot of flash cards, and her and her team made lessons on the interactive white board so that the students can become part of the lesson. My co-teacher also taught me that the program comes with books of the same title so all of the student can be reading the "same" book, just at different reading levels.
ReplyDeleteFYI: We do have a couple of levels of the Wonders curriculum in the Curriculum and Technology Center.
