I wanted perspective principals to be able to look at some of my lessons (without having to view too much personal stuff!) But, that doesn't matter now....because I have a job!! That will be my next post! <br />
<br />
We had a graduation reception at school that I planned along with some of my classmates. It turned out wonderful! <br />
<br />
I made some awesome centerpieces out of pencil vases. I know you can't tell from the pic, but I also used Dr. Seuss ribbon. So cute!! <br />

I wanted to do something for my kids as a gift for the end of the year. I worked for a few weeks on a slideshow for them. I gave it to them on their last day of school during our class awards. I used happy songs so the parents wouldn't cry (and maybe me too). I think it turned out super cute!</div>

I was planning a surprise for the kids for the last day of school, but I wanted to give them something on my last day. My solution to that problem: I wrote them a poem! It was so fun reading it to them.</div>

Words can not describe my experience Student Teaching this year. My Mentor Teacher was amazing in so many different ways. I am so thankful for the lessons I have learned from her, and I know they will last my entire career. Being placed with this class was truly a gift from God. I learned something every day from the students in my classroom. I will always remember my first class!</div>

I was so happy to get this last observation done!!! We reserved the library and were able to explore four different kinds of reference sources. I taught a mini-lesson and then we got to work at the four stations! This concept was challenging for these third graders, but the hands on experience they were able to gain was beneficial in helping them master this standard. My last observation is over and I did great!!! <br />

We discussed all different kids of technology, and at the end of the unit the students created their own piece of technology. They had to solve a real world problem with their technology, but their solution could be a little far-fetched. They came up with some GREAT inventions! After designing their invention, the students had to present their inventions to the "patent office" (their classmates).<br />

I could choose to do ELA or Math. Obviously...I chose math! (Don't get me wrong....I love literacy too!)<div>

We worked on using models to add and subtract fractions.<div>

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
This lesson on magnets was so engaging for the students! The school where I am student teaching has so many resources to use! I went to the library and was able to check out several different magnet kits and different types of magnets. It is so cool having these resources!<br />
<br />
Before the lesson I had the students make predictions on whether or not an item was magnetic. I put some tricky items on the list! After the lesson the students went back to their desk to revise their predictions based on what they had learned. Most students predicted that the coins were going to be magnetic so they all had to change those predictions. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After we revised our predictions we performed the experiment to determine if these items were magnetic or not. </div>

We used our magnets for our Fun Friday magnet station. We used different kind of magnets to see which would hold the most paper clips. We used our magnets around the room to find things in our classroom that were magnetic. Then we made our own magnet to hang on our refrigerator at home! </div>

During the day we had some people scheduled to come in and read to our class. First up....the P.E. teachers. They were so fun! They read the Dr. Seuss book <i>Great Day for Up. </i>But, being the P.E. teachers they are, they made the kids jump up every time they read the word up. FUN!!</div>

The last reader for the day was none other than....Mr. Kyle! My better half!! He did such a great job and the kids loved him. He read <i>Maybe you should fly a jet? Maybe you should be a vet? </i>He asked the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up after he finished reading. The mos popular answers? A diamond miner. A spy. A lion tamer. Crazy kids! Love that imagination!</div>

I love teaching Science and Social Studies and having the opportunity for hands-on learning! I found this super cool timeline on <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/" target="_blank">TeachersPayTeachers</a> for FREE!!!! I can't imagine teaching without all these super cool resources....they are awesome! They were formatted to be printed to use as a timeline on the wall. I shrunk them down to flash card size and printed them on color paper. They went all the way from Christopher Columbus to Obama. <br />
<br />
(I also figured out how to link a picture on blogger. Click on the picture below to go to this listing on TPT.)<br />

<br />
<br />
I put the students in their groups and had them put the timeline cards in order. This was tricky as there were a lot of them! The students had to really work together to complete their line. I think they did a great job!<br />

Once they completed their timeline I asked them several questions that required them to use their assembled timeline to answer. The enjoyed competing to see who could get the answer the quickest. I loved the teamwork during this activity. I then asked them some questions that they had to answer on their own. Such a fun learning activity that kept the students engaged!<br />
<br />
At the end of the unit the students made their own timeline with important events from their life. They all looked great!!<br />

Permission slips went home today for me to start posting pictures of some of my awesome 3rd graders on my blog. I am so excited to start sharing what I am teaching and show you the joy I get to see on the students' faces. It is priceless! As soon as I get these permissions slips back I will start sharing some of my lessons with you. My mentor teacher is AH-MAZING and I am learning so much from her every day. It was no surprise to me that she got Teacher of the Year for our school. It was also no surprise to me that she got Teacher of the Year for the county!! Let's just say I'm learning from the best!!<br />

She never lets ANY opportunity for learning pass by. Ever. She has students doing flash cards on the bus on a field trip. If there is an assembly at school, the students are quizzing each other during the time before the assembly starts. She is ALL about the learning...and I love it!! <br />
<br />
She asked me to create a craft the students could make for Grandparent's Lunch at school. It could not just be your typical "I'm Thankful for You" craft. It had to have a learning theme! I thought about it all weekend and searched Pinterest. I found NOTHING that showed what the students were learning in school. What to do? What to do? I wrote a poem!!<br />

We printed those out and stuck them inside this cute little turkey. I did find the inspiration for this turkey on Pinterest. I love the different sized googly eyes! The students signed their name on the inside. Done!! Super fast and easy. I would love to know if any of the Grandparents did quiz the kids on their multiplication facts during lunch!<br />

I'm so thankful for such an awesome mentor teacher this year. I had actually requested another school but God knew what I needed!!! I'm thankful that I will be graduating in less than 175 days. Lots to learn between now and then.

Well, I did it! I taught my first unit!! I am so glad that is behind me!!! I had heard through the grapevine that the University Supervisor that was observing my lesson was pretty tough. It's very nerve-wracking to be teaching your first lesson and being critiqued the very first time you teach. I think I spent 10 hours prepping for that 60 minute lesson. I had to pick an interdisciplinary topic . I started with the students' reading story and went from there so my topic ended up being on Corn and Harvest. It was perfect for the fall!<br />
<br />
The first day we focused on Inference. I made my first anchor chart with the students. For those of you that don't know me I am very crafty....with a computer! I am not crafty with anything I have to free hand!! So, let's just say I need a little practice on making anchor charts quickly and making them look nice. Please don't judge me on my not-so-teacherish handwriting! I'm working on it! I could have made it look much nicer if I had done it in advance, but I love making an anchor chart WITH THE STUDENTS so they can contribute!<br />

The second day I did a close read on a passage that I found on <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/" target="_blank">Teachers Pay Teachers</a> on Corn. I found this bundle of Close Reading Passages that were on sale so I got all 20 of these passages for half price. <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/October-Close-Reading-Passages-w-Common-Core-Text-Dependent-Questions-905636" target="_blank">Go check it out here!</a> During my lesson the students read the same passage four times. They did awesome at annotating the text and using the text as evidence for their answers!<br />
<br />
The third day I did a read-aloud lesson on the book <i>Corn </i>by <a href="http://www.gailgibbons.com/" target="_blank">Gail Gibbons</a>. This lesson was also my science lesson. Gail Gibbons is a wonderful author and illustrator. Her books are very informative and appealing. Anyone that wants to buy me any of her books for my classroom, feel free! <br />

<br />
After we did the read-aloud I had an ear of corn for each group of students to examine. They looked at the corn and created their own word bank about the ear of corn and then wrote a descriptive paragraph about that ear of corn. I wanted to do an experiment with popping corn on the cob in the microwave but I could not find popcorn on the cob anywhere!! I bought this <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Corn-by-G-Gibbons-Comp-Questions-and-Project-Sheets-321893" target="_blank">Corn by Gail Gibbons Unit</a> on Teachers pay Teachers to use as my reference for this lesson. <br />

I found it challenging to pick a topic and teach the topic. I wish I could have picked a skill and taught the same skill all week, like Inference. It was a challenge to have my lessons build off of each other based on a topic and not a skill. The students were not learning about corn in science so it was just a random lesson for them. But, they loved it and did well! I wish I could post some pics of the students during these lessons...oh well. Just picture a bunch of super cute third graders. I'm loving these kids!Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12123643289457182495noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936754492840919286.post-83256670287196277092013-09-06T12:57:00.000-07:002014-01-29T10:32:56.617-08:00Peace, Love, Third Grade<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After a long summer of waiting to find out where I was going to be placed, I got my placement. I am super excited to be in the third grade! I am in a different system than my kids so I'm a little stressed about that, but I'm sure it will be fine. My Mentor Teacher is amazing! She just completed the Ironman Competition in Louisville a few weeks ago. (Say What?????) She is a workhorse...which I LOVE!! That is the kind of teacher that I want to be so I'm pumped to learn from her. I've met the class and they are super awesome!! Here I am the day I met the class.

The first thing she asked me to do was to write a "Meet the Student Teacher" letter. I had fun writing it! I downloaded a few new fonts for it. I love new fonts!</div>

One of the first dates she asked me to write down was Parent/Teacher conference night. I loved going and meeting so many of the parents. They were all wonderful! When I got there that night she had set me up a desk. Her room is decorated with a Rock Star theme so the front of my desk says "Our ROCKIN' Student Teacher". LOVE IT!!! </div>

I am transitioning into her classroom over the next month. I am going to my college classroom for the first part of the semester. We are knee-deep in the Common Core right now. My college classes will transition online and then I will be in my student teaching classroom for two days a week until Christmas. After Christmas I will be student teaching full-time. I love my classmates, but am ready to be in my elementary school full-time!</div>

I have been in the corporate world since 2001. At times this life change is easy, and there are times when this is super hard! I have been with the same employer since 2003 (10 years..wow!) and she thinks I hung the moon. It is very nerve-wracking to start at the bottom again. I pray that God will put me where I am needed (which he did with my student teaching position). Please pray for me this year. Pray that I will do a good job and that a principal will see me as an asset to their team next year.</div>

I think my favorite class this past semester was my Children's Literature class. I love to read, I love to see my children read, and I love to read with my children so this was the perfect class! We did a lot of weekly projects in this class.<br />

Back in the old days kids went to school with a HornBook. A HornBook had information on it that students would use as a reference point during their school day. It looked something like this:

One of our first projects was to make our own 21st century HornBook. I bought a cutting board from WalMart, used some Modge Podge and went to town. One one side I put the food pyramid and how to read a food label and on the other side I put a keyboard, common shortcuts, fonts, and favorite websites. </div>

We also made our own Children's Book Award. Mine was called the "Sharon Garner Young Mother Award." The criteria for my award was that it must be written by a mother who has young children and the book must contain a moral from which the children could learn. <br />

We also had to give our award to a book that met our criteria. I selected a book that my parents gave to my daughter. This book was written by a friend of theirs. I do not personally know her, but I do know of her. The book I chose was <i>Penny Sue:The Pure Hearted. Penny Sue </i>is about a young girl who befriends a new girl in her class at school. The new girl takes a long time to warm up to her and Penny Sue gets discouraged. Eventually Penny Sue learns the reason the new girl is distant. Penny Sue became a friend to someone that desperately needed a friend. Although I did not make the illustrations part of my award, the illustrations in this book are phenomenal! Penny Sue was written by Serena DeGarmo and illustrated by Arielle De Marco. <br />

Our big project in this class was a Book Review Portfolio. We had to review 40 books in our portfolio. We had to review ten Caldecott medal winners, ten Coretta Scott King book award winners, and ten Newbery medal winners. The remaining ten could be medal winners of our choice. We could also choose honor books as well. <br />

Caldecott Medal-<i>Noah's Ark</i>. This book is a picture book. I loved the illustrations in this book and seeing how it told the story of Noah and the Ark through pictures. </div>

Newbery Honor- <i>Hatchet. </i>I read this book in honor of my brother-in-law who is an Eagle Scout and my sister said he loved these books growing up. It was a quick and easy read. I could see young boys really getting into this book.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our final project in this class was to plan a week of lessons based around a book. Since I hope to teach older students I chose a novel, <i>Bud, Not Buddy </i>by Christopher Paul Curtis. This book is a Newbery Medal winner and a Coretta Scott King Award winner. I really enjoyed this book and would love to use my unit in class one day. <br />

During class we also had to construct our own class library. We did this with our table and I think we did a fabulous job on our library! Thanks to my friend Stephanie who always made sure we had tons of craft supplies on hand! Thank goodness she had an old box in her car or I'm not sure what we would have done. We enjoyed having a little fun during this class and not working too hard. </div>

That about sums up my Children's Literature class. One of the main reasons I am doing this blog is to be able to look back at my school and remember my classes and what I learned! I know my Children's Literature class is one that I will remember. </div>

My first lesson I taught in the classroom was a read-aloud. I've been subbing so this wasn't the first lesson I've actually taught, but it was the first lesson that I wrote and taught myself. I have been in a 4th grade classroom so I picked the book <i>Crickwing</i> by Janell Cannon<i>. </i>She is the author of <i>Stellaluna. </i><i>Crickwing </i>is really cute book where the character changes drastically from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. </div>

I first taught this lesson in my college classroom as practice and then taught it in my 4th grade classroom. I decided to make the main goal of my lesson about character traits. The first thing I did was to have the students tell me about their teacher. They came up with some great character traits for her. I listed those on the board and reminded them that they were character traits. <br />

I found this super cool Character Map by Colleen at <a href="http://totallyterrificintexas.blogspot.com/search/label/characters" target="_blank">Totally Terrific In Texas</a>. It was PERFECT for this lesson. Thanks Colleen!<br />

I was blessed with a wonderful class this semester. I never saw one of them misbehave. I almost thought I was dreaming. They were wonderful while I taught this lesson. My instructor came and watched me teach it so it was a little nerve-wracking with her there. It went great and both teachers gave me great reviews. They both said they could tell I was very comfortable in the classroom. I enjoyed seeing some of the completed Character Maps. </div>

If you are looking for a great read-aloud for 4th grade I would highly suggest <i>Crickwing. </i>I could have done an entire unit on this book. Maybe I will one day! </div>

All we did in this class was craft projects. I was glad that this class was easy!! I thought I would do a post highlighting some of the projects that we did in this class. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Rock Sculpture</span></b>-I'm not sure when we would ever make rock sculptures in our classrooms? Those kids would start beating each other with the rocks. And, let's not even talk about the hot glue. Mine is the one that is done with the decorative rocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo 20130207_133648_zpsfd0bcba3.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130207_133648_zpsfd0bcba3.jpg?t=1366915645" height="240" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Valentine's Day Box-</b> </span>We had class on Valentine's Day and convinced our professor to let us make this craft instead of whatever random thing he had planned. Maybe I will use this one day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt=" photo 20130214_130344_zpse9860fcb.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130214_130344_zpse9860fcb.jpg?t=1366915475" height="240" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Puppet Show-</b> </span>We had to write our own puppet show and perform it in front of our class. Our characters had to be named after our grandparents. I used a puppet that I made with Callie in girl scouts to save a little time. My horse was named "Dale Horse." One of the girls took a video of our puppet shows. I'll post the actual show if I can get the video from her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Big Book-</b> He assigned us a title and we were to come up with our own big book. I took pictures of the neighbor kids for my book. I'd say most, if not all, of the books my classmates did were much better quality than mine. By this point we knew that our grades were pass/fail so we didn't see the need in going the extra mile. I skipped a class this week and spent time with my family!<br />
<br />
<img alt=" photo 20130425_185738_zpsf9a1f962.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130425_185738_zpsf9a1f962.jpg?t=1366934541" height="320" width="240" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">April Weather Calendar-</b> I'm pretty sure that if I get a job in a classroom where I will be doing calendar time, I will just buy one instead of making one. But, if I ever need to make one I can! Maybe I will put that on my resume?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130425_185711_zps396ce00c.jpg?t=1366934453" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt=" photo 20130425_185711_zps396ce00c.jpg" border="0" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130425_185711_zps396ce00c.jpg?t=1366934453" height="240" width="320" /></a><img alt=" photo 20130425_133805_zps19c869bb.jpg" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20130425_133805_zps19c869bb.jpg?t=1366915264" height="320" width="240" /> <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Not Pictured- </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Watercolor marker</b>s-We actually drew on paper with markers and then took a paintbrush with water to them. I was too embarrassed to take a picture of this project.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Clay Modeling</b>- I hate clay/play dough. I think I pawned this project off on Stephanie! Thanks Friend!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Folk Songs</b>- I taught the class "Hi, My name is Joe." I thought everyone would know that song, but they didn't. Kinda fun. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the last time this class was being offered through my program. I don't think a creative arts class is necessary in this age of technology. I mean, who needs a Creative Arts class when you have Pinterest?? </div>

I made it through my first semester in the teaching program. I turned in a pretty awesome portfolio if I do say so myself! I wanted to do a post linking to some of the technology I included in my portfolio.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20121204_151434.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20121204_151434.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20121204_125814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l190/sgarner2005/Mobile%20Uploads/20121204_125814.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I made so many different things for this portfolio. I had to turn in a week of lesson plans for one unit. I did my unit on habitats. So.....if you are a student doing a unit on habitats, this is the post for you!<br />
<br />
I had to make a Prezi. If you have never heard of Prezi......it is the "new" PowerPoint. Very cool!<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="400" src="http://prezi.com/embed/8-h7ftzcgyvr/?bgcolor=ffffff&lock_to_path=0&autoplay=no&autohide_ctrls=0" width="550"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also made a Glogster. I've never heard of Glogster before. It's pretty cool too. Not sure if I would use it in my classroom, but it would be a really cool tool if you taught older grades I think. <br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="758" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://edu.glogster.com/glog.php?glog_id=32035566&scale=58" style="overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I made some cool PowerPoints and an interactive power point game, but I won't bore you with those. I don't know exactly how well I did on my finals, but all I know is that I did well! YAY!! Straight A's for me!

I'm not blogging as much as I would like. One of the main purposes of this blog for me is to use it as sort of a journal to remember my journey to the classroom. I've been subbing a lot lately and I'm excited to tell you about that. I'm really enjoying that time in the classroom and how much I am learning. </div>

I think it paid off the other day. I purchased the first thing for my classroom. I got this pencil sharpener for $39.00!!! I was quite excited. I have hesitated to buy anything for my classroom because I have no grade preference (yet) for what I want to teach so it's very hard to start buying. I hope this was a good purchase!<br />

I have been trying to get my name out there in the blogging world. I have been commenting and following blogs as much as I can. I've entered a few give-a-ways and I actually won one!!! Holly over at <a href="http://fourthgradeflipper.blogspot.com/2012/10/giveaway-winners.html" target="_blank">Fourth Grade Flipper</a> had an awesome give-a-away for reaching 200 followers and I was winner number 2. I won some awesome TPT products!! YAY ME!! Thanks Holly! I hope I can reach 200 followers and do a give-a-way!<br />
<br />

<br />
I took three mid-terms. I made 3 A's. Scratch that. I made 3 100's!! I was a little excited!!!!!<br />

I've got some more stuff going on that I'd like to tell you about, but this post is already long enough! Stay tuned!Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12123643289457182495noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936754492840919286.post-20478804972943409432012-10-06T07:05:00.002-07:002012-10-06T07:05:55.731-07:00CurrentlyI just found this cool blog (<a href="http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2012/10/currently-october-for-classroom-and-you.html" target="_blank">Oh' Boy 4th Grade</a>). Apparently, I am a little behind because she is hosting a linky party and everybody's doing it. She does this cool thing called "Currently." So, here is mine...<br />

I absolutely love the Berenstain Bears. My kids love them and I love the lessons they teach. If you invite me to your child's birthday party....they will be getting Berenstain Bears books. Here is the one I chose for my favorite fall book:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0310712513/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link"><img alt="The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks" border="0" height="300" id="prodImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/6101LSR6qBL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I am sure my list of favorites will grow as I begin teaching and have more exposure to some really cool books! I love books!! <br />
<br />
I am sure I could find time to start running again if someone would buy me these:<br />

Oh, and in case you are wondering, here is the awesome love note I got this week. My husband would probably kill me for posting this, but I'm about 99% sure he does not read my blog. He's such a guy!<br />

This weekend I went to the STEA conference in Nashville. I thought STEA stood for Student Teacher Education Association. Nope! It's stands for Student Tennessee Education Association. I guess 3 out of 4 words in the acronym is pretty good!<br />
<br />
One of the perks of going to any event is the free t-shirt. Come on, I mean that's the only reason I run races or go to conferences, right? Imagine my surprise when we saw that the tshirt was bright yellow!!! Pretty sure I won't be wearing this shirt anywhere other than Walmart. <br />
<br />

<br />
Friday night was opening night. I really enjoyed chatting with and getting to know my classmates. They had karaoke right after the dinner, but I quickly left before I made a fool of myself. The theme of the conference was "The SuperPower of Teaching." Very true. Several members from other schools dressed up like superheroes. I'm not that brave!<br />
<br />
Saturday morning started the breakout sessions. First I went to:<br />
<br />
-10 Fun Hands on Math Activities to Teach Common Core Standards<br />
<br />
Drs. Jeremy and Stephanie Wendt did this session and they were great! He gave us the link to his handouts, which were awesome! I love math so I was right at home. You can find it <a href="http://jeremywendt.com/docs/WendtCCSSI.pdf" target="_blank">here</a> if you are interested. <br />
<br />
Next I went to:<br />
<br />
-How to Get a Job, Administrators' Perspectives<br />
<br />
That was very informative, but a lot of common sense. I mean, do people really talk on their cell phones while waiting in the lobby for a interview? Come on people! Actually, go right ahead and do that people.....makes my chances of getting the job you want much better!<br />
<br />
Finally, I went to:<br />
<br />
-Ag Can be Fun<br />
<br />
It was awesome! Carole Willis from MTSU did this session and she was wonderful. She told us about so many resources that are available to use. The <a href="http://www.tnfarmbureau.org/education-resources" target="_blank">Tennessee Farm Bureau</a> is FULL of resources for teachers, many of which are free! She gave us a ton of resources too.<br />
<br />

During lunch someone came around and gave us this book. Party Favor, I guess.<br />

After our sessions we ate lunch, nominated our friends for officers, and ended the conference. <br />

I have one class that should be called "Classroom Observation". I'm not sure what it is called. Anyway, it requires 30 hours of observation time. I got assigned a Kindergarten class. I was kinda bummed about getting Kindergarten since Callie just finished Kinder and I spent so much time in her classroom. I wanted to get a grade that I was a little less familiar with. Oh well! I was so nervous to meet the teacher. I REALLY want her to like me. So what did I do? I baked! Yes, I baked her a pie. Am I kissing up? Maybe....hopefully it will work! I tried to find a cute saying to go with the pie, but this was the best I could come up with. Yes, I'm a dork! I also took the opportunity to bake for Callie's teacher as well.<br />

I had a good day in the classroom. She only has 17 students. I was so shocked. I expected to see at least 23. Her actual classroom is HUGE! I'm sure it would be nice to have that much space but whew, not sure I would want that much space to decorate. She was really awesome and I think I will be able to learn a lot from her. This is her first year in Kinder. </div>

If any teachers actually read my blog (which I doubt considering I have 2 followers...lol), <span style="background-color: yellow;">What</span><span style="background-color: yellow;"> advice do you have for me about my first few experiences in the classroom?</span> I want to just jump in there, but I also want to follow the direction of my teacher. I don't want her to think I'm being too timid, but I also don't want to get in her way. I feel like any teacher having a student could be a nuisance so I want to know my place as much as possible. </div>

From Left to Right:<br />
Stephanie is our kindergarten teacher.<br />
Tiffany is our third grade teacher.<br />
I am the second grade teacher.<br />
Brandi is our first grade teacher.<br />
<br />
<br />
Stephanie and I have been friends for a year now. We took a class together last fall, spring, and summer. She is the bomb!!! She is married with a sweet little girl named Scarlett. I am so glad that we are doing this program together. Did I say she was the bomb?<br />
<br />
Tiffany is from Hendersonville and is in super love with her boyfriend! I think they have been together since the third grade or something crazy like that. She loves going to football games and she works at Panera. She's waiting for a ring!! <br />
<br />
Brandi is a fellow White House girl. She loves horses and has a few. She's in super love with her boyfriend too!! Brandi is our resident over-achiever and we love her for it!!<br />
