I love science notebooks and technical drawings!!! This drawing from class today makes me smile - this friend is not a huge science fan but LOVES art and I love giving her the opportunity to connect what she loves with what I need her to learn!
A6: from Alike it showed middle schools should be empowering and engaging. The student was not empowered therefore that makes him not want to be very engaged in the activities. #tchedbirds#tch296
A5: From watching Alike you can take away students need socialization and movement during their activities to ensure they are engaged in the content. This is easy to incorporate in a science class by having lab groups. #TCHEDbirds#tch296
A4: Some risks you will need to take in a classroom will be implementing things your students will find interesting and applicable to their lives. When students feel interested in the content they are more engaged in class. #TCHEDbirds#tch296
A3: Watching Alike confirmed my feelings about what the classroom activities should look like. In my TCH 351 course we discuss that students should be involved in play to get the most of their education. Not just lectures and notes all the time. #TCHEDbirds#tch296
A2: Alike really resonated with me because in middle school a lot of my homework in classes involved taking notes or doing repetitive tasks. That’s carried into the classroom and it didn’t allow for any student creativity or input to further their learning #TCHEDbirds#tch296
A1: I’m ingrid and I’m a middle level Ed major with math and science endorsements. I’m a junior and from Downers Grove, Illinois and will graduate in spring 2023. #tch296#TCHEdbirds the gif was my week
A5: A couple goals I have for these next weeks are: getting to know my students, and getting to know the content. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a 5/6th grade science classroom so I want to know what they like and what they’re learning. #TCH296
A4: I discovered a note taking strategy in my 6th grade science classroom. It at first was required for us to use on our “notes quizzes” but after that year it really stuck with me. It helped me stay organized in college when I needed to take quizzes at home. #TCH296
@GracePerryed I’m doing the same!! I love working in small groups and when we finish a portion I’ll ask some questions about their outside-of-school life. This way I can see how passionate they are about the topic through conversation 😄😄 #TCH296
A3: I remember when I was in middle school and I hated social studies because all we did was read articles. I believe more creative projects or group work would’ve made a better impact on my learning. I really liked science because it was hands-on #TCH296
A2: I plan on making connections with my students by connecting on our similar interests. This last week my students loved the fact that I shared I worked at Starbucks. With a group of boys we talked about sports. It was super fun! #TCH296
A1: I am unlearning the “teacher hero narrative” by allowing myself to make mistakes and understanding I will not always know the answer. As teachers we can get wrapped up in making sure we always have an answer. #TCH296
