Above is the link to my prezi presentation, enjoy.

After thinking about all that we learned this semester I realized that we really accomplished a lot over the past three months! The most important tool that I think that I gained was learning how to assess students. After speaking with ELA teachers I realized that knowing where each child is holding academically is crucial in directing them in the right direction. Also learning how to develop a reading program into our classrooms was very helpful. The information taught was extremely practical. Thank you Dr. Hsu for teaching us how to be great teachers!

Week 14-Assignment 1

In the classroom where I observed the teacher used reading as a way of teaching social skills. These five year old students were not developmentally holding at a place where they can read books on their own. The teacher chose interesting books for to read aloud to the class and to discuss the emotions that went on in the story. Many of the students in the class have PDD (pervasive developmental disorder) and the teacher takes every opportunity to teach her students proper social skills and ways to understand their feelings.
