November Extra Blog Post

At my mentorship this month, I didn't really have the chance to help out in the classroom since I'm not 18 yet. So, I've been preparing the activities in the office.
Early in the month, I have to make the parts for the toolbox for the kids to decorate and put together.

To make these, I just folded red construction paper three times, traced a trapezoid on yellow paper for the kids to cut out, then cut out the handle. Miss Jenny and Miss Florez already cut out the tools, so I didn't need to prepare those.

On the 25th, I prepared the pilgrim hats and native american headbands for the kids to decorate. I also prepared their tracing work. Instead of tracing their name, they traced random shapes and the shape of the week, the circle. 

 We used the realistic feathers.

Blog 10: EQ

1.   I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

• Provide a framework for studies (It calls for breadth and depth of research, Is not a yes/no question)
• Take a stance (It allows you to argue some point, Cannot be a recitation of facts or a list)
• Format (It is specific, The wording makes sense)

2.  Review the following EQs and

• Tell us if each meets the rule of three.
• Tell why they do or don't.

a.  What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

Meets rule of three.

b.  What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

Meets rule of three.

c.  What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer?

I feel this does not meet the rule of three because the answer depends on the customer. It does not meet the Take a stance rule because it could be a list of answers.

d.  How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

Meets rule of three.

3.  How can a preschool teacher help her students develop their social-emotional skill?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

 1. Positive Statement: What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?

I’m most proud of my information because I knew what I presented, I referenced my mentorship and my sources.

2. Questions to Consider

1. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)? P-      
2. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.

          I think I deserve a P- because the time was suppose to be between 8 to 10 minutes and I only got about 7 minutes. But I did know all my information and presented all I know about how to answer my working EQ.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?

What worked for me was my whole presentation was explaining what social-emotional skill was and why it is important. Also talking about how to help children develop that skill.

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

I would like to improve on my time. Maybe I could’ve talked more because I know I forgot to mention a few things I was planning on saying in my presentation.
