The other day in class we learned about the importance of educational data! It’s hard to imagine teachers having to use data in their classrooms, but teachers can’t be successful without it!
This semester we had a book study with our PLC’s. We read “Making Thinking Visible.” We learned so much about how students think and different strategies to encourage deeper thinking!
Throughout the year, we wrote letters back and forth to second grade students in Birmingham! We got to see how their writing developed over the course of the school year. We even got to meet our pen pals on STEAM day!
My PLC has been the biggest blessing of junior year! I have learned so much from each of these girls, and I am so thankful to the Education program for being us together! I am so proud of how we have grown as a group!
STEAM day was a blast! My PLC taught students about rockets! We used a stomp rocket as a demonstration, and then talked about why rockets are sent into space! We taught them about gravity and force!
I made all of my students at Trace Crossings personalized bookmarks! Spending time in the classroom with these students was my favorite part of Junior Year!
Dr. Wood gave us some great resources for teaching gifted learners! We need to be intentional with the types of assignments we give our students, and choice boards are a great way to do that!
Watching the movie Paperclips has been an eye opening experience. School should be a place where students are encouraged to change the world, and this documentary is living proof of that statement!

Reading this book with my PLC led to some really great and challenging conversations. It is important to remember that we will always continue to learn ways to best serve our students.
