My Professional Goals• My goal is to help my students become
well-rounded, responsible, and caring students who have a strong desire to explore the world, challenge themselves, and learn.
My Educational Philosophy
• All children should be empowered to learn and feel confident about their curiosity and engagement with the world around them
• Incorporate a variety of learning styles allowing students to excel in areas that come naturally and challenge them to expand their comfort zones
• Use authentic assessments including student-chosen projects
• Incorporate technology into my lessons often
My Management
Style• Keeping students engaged can ward off
undesired behavior problems• Praise positive behaviors often• High expectations with the support to help
each student achieve and feel successful• Community Atmosphere--students helping
each other to make good choices and caring about their classroom and school
Parental Involvement• Invite parents into the classroom often and
keep all lines of communication open• Learn about and celebrate the culture of
each family--everyone has something they can share with our class!
• Encourage parents to read with their children at home, take them to community events, and expose them to the world around us!

Lesson Plan Launching the Lesson
We will start with a class discussion in which the rules are clearly stated by me, the teacher. If I see abuse or misuse of the computers you will lose a falcon and the computer will be immediately taken away. There is no warnings, this is the warning. What do I mean by misuse or abuse. What should we NOT do to the computers---allow students to give examples such as write on them with crayons, touch the screens, drop them, etc. then answer a follow up question WHY?

Lesson Plan Launching the Lesson 1. TLW gather on the carpet – Tomorrow we are going to have our math test so today I set up some
centers for you to review the hour, half hour, amount of time, calendar, and schedules. You will spend 5 minutes at each center.
Middle of the Lesson A – Telling time on the hour – pick a number from the basket, make your clock say that time (pick 8 – make 8 o’clock) B – Telling time on the half hour – Use the paperclips to have a partner make the half hour time
remember your long paperclip should be on the 6 and your short paperclip should be inbetween 2 numbers
C – How long would it take you: Estimate time using the white board to do various activites D – Put the months in the correct order practice the song if you are done E – Mixed up schedule, what is wrong with our schedule? Fix it… Closure Tomorrow is our test. You don’t need to stress about it because I can see from today’s games that you all are SO SMART and know SO MUCH about time! Great job and I can’t wait to see what you do tomorrow! I think we’re going to have a lot of math superstars

Modified Objective(s): K J and A will simply observe and draw pictures and complete any sentence they are able with help from a teacher or independently but must still remain on task and treat the animals with care and respect
Lesson Plan - Guppies Launching the Lesson Last week we observed plants. This week we are going to observe our class pets. We are going to use our scientific eyes to observe the guppies and write about them using all the descriptive words we wrote earlier today. I will give each of you a coloring book and you can find the guppy picture and begin to color it correctly – its not like our rainbow fish we are coloring what we actually see. Then you and draw your own picture in this square here under the word Guppy. This sentence says “The guppies are…” and you can finish it by using descriptive words. What kind of descriptive words could you use for guppies?
