Integrated Learning for 1st Graders

Traditional tools like books, basic white boards and counting blocks combined with cutting -edge technology can create varied learning environment that can meet the needs of all students. Having an interactive white board and incorporating videos and virtual field trips, which allows students to interact will engage students. As well as tablets and computers which can be used for individualized learning apps, educational games and research projects.  To evaluate the students are benefiting from technology in the classroom I'll be observing their interaction during lessons. To see signs of engagement or interest. Also testing for the comprehension and retention of information. Using feedback to from students and parents and maybe colleagues for insights. Lastly, data analysis to track progression and identifying strengths and weaknesses in lessons.  Listed below is a video that explains why digital technology should be used in classrooms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKsv4DT...

My Teaching Philosophy

Image
The most important thing in my classroom will be love. To feel seen and heard so they're comfortable enough to tell me they are struggling or not. Creating a nurturing environment will help grow their love for learning. Promoting a positive atmosphere can help ensure the students are valued.  I will try to focus on child centered learning, which will help individual needs. Everyone learns differently and if I'm able to accommodate your child to learn I will. I'll also be having hands on learning activities like play-based learning and interactive lessons.  We'll also be focusing on fundamental skills like math, reading and writing everyday to become stronger. Incorporating real world example to have a better understanding. Adapting lesson plans to be inclusive to all including English Language Learners and Exceptional Student Education.   

Welcome to my class!
