The song



So I love when we have this course in Beaver Creek and in one of the conferences they taught us about a classroom management, it was so simple, just choose a song for one activity for your kids, for example:
When they have to show to the teacher their journals, one teacher chose a song for that time.

So, I had a hard time when my kids have to line up....and I choose a song. "Share" by Jack Johnson. It works perfect, they hear the beginning and they move so quick that it is amazing, when they get all together in a perfect line, they start moving their heads and when in the song they start to clap they clap with the music. IT JUST AWESOME! I wish I could record it.

P.S: My kids rock!

Reflection



1. What are some strategies you are going to implement in your classroom?


Ask three before me, and interactive notebook.

questions

1. What are some changes or enhancement that you might make to your lesson plans?
Write Measurement topic and assessment methods.

2. How will you clearly communicate learning objectives and performance outcomes to students?

Writing the objectives on the board. They have to read them with me, and again to their partner and at the end of the lesson they will have to give feedback to their partner thinking in the objective if they accomplish the objective.

RED TOOL KIT STRATEGY



So, today all my kids were awesome, we finished one activity, we went to the carpet to close the lesson and Peter Pan start to make strange movements and suddenly comes to my mind and I said:
_ Peter, I need your help with something. I need you to go to Mr.R and ask him to give you the RED TOOL KIT, ok? Do you understand? Yes, perfect, go!

AND IT WORKED!!!!! He came so much relaxed and ready to start a next lesson. It was awesome.

Thank you so much for teaching me this strategy.

Peter Pan me vacila



So, como ya bien sabeis, me amado Peter Pan es un niño de mi clase que requiere más atención de lo debido, los resultados de los tests del año pasado dicen que está en nivel 0 y que necesita más atención de la maestra. Pues hoy en un examen de LBD va y me saca la puntuación más alta de la clase 13 puntos!!!!
Os pensareis que se ha copiado, yo también lo pensé, pero esque resulta que lo ha hecho conmigo solo, sin ningún compañero al lado. Por lo que concluyo claramente en que Peter Pan me vacila.

Mickey Mouse



Mickey Mouse es otro de mis niños, Mickey Mouse es uno de los mas pequeños de mi clase, y hoy no tenía el dia muy inspirado, estaba un poco llorón, Mickey ha decidido hoy que no quería hacer nada él solo. ¿y qué haces cuando tienes un niño que no quiere hacer nada por su cuenta y a la vez tienes otros 14 niños que piden atención? Volverte loca.
Entonces Mickey Mouse se ha puesto a patalear, a llorar y a tirar lápices por la clase. Así que dejo una pregunta abierta.

¿Qué haces cuando tienes un niño así en medio de la clase?

Agradezco cualquier posible solución al problema...

Peter Pan



This is the story of a kid named Peter Pan. Peter Pan was a happy kid, he went everyday to the school, and everyday had some wonderful ideas to make his teacher crazy. For example today:
Peter Pan decided that was an awesome idea if we hit each other, but was even better if first he hit one kid, of course. then he decided that though the teacher told him: " Peter Pan llevas un warning" was even better idea, push each other on the line so the first fell down. So he got one day without recess, but he wanted more, so he push another kid and hit him, and later told the teacher was the other kid who hit first, so the other kid, will get one day without recess also.
Amazing kid Peter Pan. This week he can not play. No more days of recess for Peter Pan.
