Future Classroom

PART 1: Classroom Layout
The classroom that I made would be a 1st-grade classroom. I have placed tables and groups of 4 students at each table. I have a semi-circle roundtable for teacher time group work. I have my desk on the opposite side of the room. My classroom has a rug for the morning meeting and group lessons. It has many different options for the students to use during reading such as the bean bag chairs and the corner meeting area. It has a bathroom in the classroom and has multiple places for storage of the children belonging (jacket, bookbag, etc. and another cubie for there works to go into once complete. My classroom will have a smart board and whiteboard in the room. No computers, the students will have laptops to use if they need to. :

    Hi Danielle, I found it interesting that you said you would have a desk and a semi-circle table for group...only because in the classrooms I have been in lately the teacher desk is the small group table, but this made me remember that the previous school I worked with in Okinawa had both teacher desk and group tables. I think that I would like that idea better than having it all at one location.
    The procedures are good, I am using a symbols with the fingers instead of raising the hand, that way I know exactly what the student needs :)

    I love your floor plan! I am one that needs a lot of space to move around, and I like to be able to have plenty of open space, so this plan is perfect for that. Your set of rules was really good too, and including your procedures was very informative. Looks like you are prepared and ready to roll! (:

    I also said I would have a desk and a U table. I like having my own personal space where I know I can put things. I also like the idea of using a teachers desk as a reward token.

Lost Teeth Video Many people don't usually lose a lot of teeth before the age of 5 (kindergarten) most of the time but the older they get the more teeth they have probably lost. They are realizing this so the teacher wants her students to make predictions on what they think their data will tell them about each grade.  Do you remember losing your first tooth?  The insight I get about the children's thinking about why the ranges would be different is the students thought that the range would be lower in the lower grades but the higher grades actually had the lower range of number of teeth lost. This is because some peoples teeth like to stay longer than others but once they get to a certain age they will have lost multiple teeth because we need to grow our adult teeth.  I think it is important that the students are able to state the highest and lowest numbers in their data. I also think its important that they are taking into account the students who don't kn...

Module Twelve

Coordinate Grids The websites that I explored were:  Gregs Grid Graphs- I thought this site was a good one. It has the student first figure out the coordinates by matching the letters to the coordinates. The it shows the points with letters and the students need to write out the coordinate. One thing I notices though is that it states that the coordinates are written with parentheses but when the site has you write out the coordinates it doesn't allow enough typing to do so. This could confuse students in the long run and not use parentheses.  Stock the Shelves- I think students would think this is a fun game to play. It makes you be completely accurate on clicking your points, if you are even a little bit in the box and not on the center of the 2 lines it counts it wrong. This is something that students could do to practice to make sure they are understanding where coordinates are. This also includes negative coordinates so it would probably be better for students wh...

Pentomino Activities Before going on the website to do this activities I thought they were going to be super easy. Boy was I wrong. It took me multiple tries to figure out 1 way to get them to work on the easy level. I tried multiple times for a good 10 minutes on the medium level. I even asked my boyfriend to come try and he also had a hard time and ending up giving up after a couple tries. This made me feel a little better about not being able to figure it out. haha One thing I did notice doing this activity was that if i was able to use certain pentominos more then once it would be a lot easier to do. But that isn't the case. I tried the hard one once just to see what it looked like and as you can guess I was unable to figure it out. I became very frustrated with the petomino spatial activities as I tried several times and just couldn't figure it out. I feel like if it is hard for me how can I expect my elementary students to be able to do it. If I had them do activities ...
