Multiplication Monster

Within google docs, I created a math worksheet specifically for students in 3rd grade. The math worksheet I created is entitled Multiplication Monsters and allows students to practice their multiplication facts while having fun as well. While using google docs, I was able to learn many new techniques about formatting and tools. In my future classroom, I will use google docs in creating assignments, newsletters, projects, instructions, etc. I will be able to teach the students in my class how to use google docs so they can write essays, create brochures, and complete projects in my classroom as well as future classes.

Newsletter

I decided to create a newsletter for the month of January, specifically for a third grade class in Elementary School. Within the newsletter, I included a letter directed towards the students and parents, the upcoming events, spelling words, contact info, book of the month, and so much more! While creating my newsletter, I was able to find more information on what types of events go on in an elementary school and what types of activities I can do within my own classroom. 

I enjoyed creating this newsletter and I know that this will be something that I will use and recreate when I am teaching my own class in the future. I can use the newsletter to keep track of everything that is going on throughout the month and to inform parents and students of the upcoming events and what is new for the month. A newsletter can also encourage and uplift each one of my students by doing star student, announcing birthdays, and writing motivating words and quotes. I am glad I was able to learn more about creating a newsletter and am excited to be using a newsletter in my future class.

Social Studies: Elementary Education

I decided to create a Pinterest account specifically designed for Elementary Education. The board that I created is Social Studies within Elementary Education. I have always loved learning about social studies and I was able to find many new ideas and activities that I can use in my future classroom. I have learned that each and every student learns differently and in order to be an effective teacher you need to use different types of learning methods throughout the year. 

Many of the activities that I found were hands-on activities which will be great for the kinesthetic learners in my class. I also found multiple videos and songs about the states and capitals and the preamble that will be useful for the musical learners. By using this Pinterest account within my classroom, I will be able to learn what type of learning style works best for each student and they will be able to use their creativity in deciding how to complete projects.

Ed-Tech Standard 6: Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests.
