If you
were to write a book about yourself, what would you name it? I would call my book “A Day in the Life of a
Pitbull Mom”
Tell
us on of your favorite jokes. What did the janitor say when
he jumped out of the closet? Supplies!
Tell us what subject you teach,
years of teaching, and how far you are in the Teacher Education or MSIT program:
I am not currently a teacher, but
when I graduate in December of 2017 I hope to find a job teaching 2nd
through 4th grade. I am also interested in co-teaching classes that
cater to a mix of general education and special education students. Including
the summer classes I have taken, I am in my fourth semester at NYIT.
How much do you know about teaching
language arts? As I
continue to take classes and observe, along with the work I do as a teacher’s
aide, I learn new ways every day to engage students in ELA instruction. I have
also learned the importance of differentiating instruction to meet the needs of
individual students while still creating lessons that work with the common core
state standards. I am excited to take this course and learn about literacy
disorders and ways to remedy those disorders.
How much do you know about new
literacies? It
is my understanding that new literacies use technology, such as audio books, to
help students learn how to read and comprehend what they are reading. New
literacies take print reading to another level and provide opportunities for
different learning preferences to excel.
What are your concerns about taking
this course? I
have no concerns as this time. The only thing I can think of is being able to
balance work and the other two classes I am taking, and being able to get all
my observation hours done!
Nice to meet you
all! Good luck this semester!
Great picture! And great job setting up blog and roster. :D
