Day Nine

Planning, Planning, and More Planning.   Teachers are always planning. We continued our lesson about Understanding by Design. After completing the lesson, we were tasked with creating a sample lesson plan of our own based on our subject area. Beverlee and I created a lesson plan on how to understand Word Processing Skills.  We discovered that our essential question was related to our desired results.  I learned that my ICT lesson plans have been way off track, and I will be better prepared for the upcoming school year.

Day Eighteen

Today began with a synopsis of how the rest of the week would go, and then we began working on setting up our OWN business.  Our team decided to develop an Afterschool Tutoring program named Full Circle Learning. After lunch, Dr. Straughter came in to discuss how we as educator should take care of ourselves.  We took an assessment on our overall wellness.  It determined that my compassion satisfaction is high and that my burnout and secondary trauma level were low. We ended the day with a global perspective talk with a native of Brazil.

Day Seven

Today began with us creating a geological timeline.  I thought this was rather interesting to see how much of Earth's history has just been developed in the last 65 million years, and that the history from 65 million years ago to 4,600,000,000 billion years is so sparse.  I believe that can be incorporated in the Science classroom when we do the history of the atom as well as the cell. Then we began discussing the weather, and then actually creating our own weather PowerPoint.  I enjoyed this; however, I think that we did it in reverse order. If had created our own PPT prior to yesterday's visit we could have presented our own weather report while in the green room. After lunch, we worked on our Art Projects.  We laid down the foundation pieces by doing the watercolors.  We also printed our images in preparation for drawing and cutting out the template on tomorrow. Finally, we had a presentation by Nick about Native Americans, and how they have been portrayed in history.
