Last Thursday, I went to see the art exhibition of Abbott Miller at Kean University. The exhibition is titled "SideShow" and reflects on the changed political and social climate in the United States. <br />
This is a colorful exhibition that forces you to think and look closely to the paintings in front of you. If you are around the area, I suggest you go and see this short but thought provoking exhibition.<br />

Happy New Year everyone! I hope this year is filled with many blessings and love. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know that everyone is writing about their New Year's resolution but I thought I keep it simple and in a monthly base, because it's just easier that way. So, Here is my list of goals that I hope I get to accomplish for this month. Some of the goals are more long-term and will take a while but its good to start earlier than later.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have always loved doing volunteering work and used to do it while I was in high school, but not so much anymore. I think that giving back to the community is always a great way to help out, get experiences, and grow. You get to meet so many people, all from a different path in life and it helps you see the world differently and from multiple perspectives.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As embarrassing as this might sound, I have never had a real job and this have had its disadvantage and advantage. <u>The advantage</u>, I have had the opportunity of focusing on my studies without worrying about financial duties and for this, I have been blessed with a family that has supported me in everything that I need it. <u>The disadvantage </u>is that I haven't had experience in a professional environment and its demands, and this I believe has only hurt me professionally and personally. Also, I need to become financially independent from my parents and begin to pay for my own necessities. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a constant battle for me and something that I need to urgently work on. It's not about been skinny but about been healthy and happy with myself and body. I believe that the way I look has affected me one way or another, as much as I dislike to admit but that's how it is. And by setting goals every month about my weight and eating habits, I will become a much happier and comfortable in my own body.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I mean by this to find who am I and to be comfortable with myself. 2016 was in one way or another a challenging year for me and a learning one as well. I want to get closer to God and learn how to love myself more, in order for me to love others because you can't do both at the same time. Life sometimes is hard and(at least me) always want to do everything myself and stress myself out when there is not need for it. How am I going to do this? By talking more to God, having a conversation with Him and just letting go of ways of thinking and doing, and by being a little selfish and taking care of myself.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will graduate from college soon and my next stop is Grad school. As stressful and hard as Grad school can be with the GRE, personal essays, letter of recommendation, and choosing the universities you want to go to, it is something that I want to do. I want to expand my knowledge in other areas and hopefully be able to help others by taking this hard journey.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I live 20 minutes away from New York City and I don't explore it as much as I would like to, and mostly because I don't have as much motivation to do things outside of my comfort circle and that is why I want to change that one step at a time. I'm already making a list of places I want to visit and once I have visited them, I will share it with all of you (maybe it will be of helped).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to create more content and with better quality. 2016 was a get-used-to phase and I hope that for this year, I can share better things here as well as, making videos of the journeys I hope to take during this month. Hopefully, a lot of you will be interested enough to come along with me on this journey.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used to have amazing friends but as I have moved, I lost contact and the older I get the harder it has been for me to make new friends. As lame as it sounds, I don't have friends, and that is the sad truth. I have classmates but not friends whom you can call at night and talk about things that don't make sense, friends who you can be yourself with and not act as if you were someone else. This is going to be a long-term goal and I hope that by the end of 2017 I get to meet great individuals and call them friends.</div>

<b style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Self-Portraits with Leaves</b><br />
<br />
For the final activity, the children created self-portraits of themselves using leaves. I decided to use <u>Leaf Man </u>by Lois Ehlert again for this activity and focused on the part of creating a self-portrait. An anchor chart describing what "self-portrait" meant was created and photographs of painters who have created portraits of themselves such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Frida Kahlo were shown to the children and we discuss how they were alike and how they were different. This was part of a lesson, I created for the children during the week with the purpose of using as an extension to the final activity of this project. And, so the journey of creating their self-portrait began, the only catch was that instead of using paint, they were going to use leaves!<br />

I really enjoyed doing this project with the children. I was able to have more one-on-one time with them and learned lots about them. Although its a lot of work and sometimes it was a let down because I had to change things, it was a learning experience and like I have said before it is always great to learn how to let go. This project is something that I will encourage all teachers out there to do with your class, it will be a lot of work but it will end up been the most rewarding thing for both you and the students.<br />

I hope you have enjoyed these series and learn something from it!</div>

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Creating Our Own Leaves</span></b><br />
<br />
For our fourth activity, I wanted the children to learn the names of the leaves we used from our "<i>creating with leaves" </i>activity. We discussed some of the names of the different leaves shown on the book, <u>Leaf Man, </u>but didn't get into detail due to the time restriction. I thought that the children wouldn't be too interested in knowing the names but some of the children noticed the difference between some of the leaves provided for the activity and were referencing back to the book. Thus, I decided to expand this knowledge for our fourth activity by creating our own leaves using playdough as our main material.<br />
<br />
For this activity, I used <u>Why Do Leaves Change Color? </u>as a reference book. I placed different leaves on the table and ask the children to tell me the differences they see on the leaves.<br />
"This one has pointing things, like fingers! Let me count them... yeah, it has five fingers just like me."-R<br />
"Yes, it does have five <i>blades </i>and they look like fingers. This leaf is a maple leaf"- Me<br />
"Some are yellow and red but this one is kind of brown"- L<br />
"That us an Elm leaf"-Me<br />
<br />
The children continue to compare the different leaves we had and their responses were added to our web map. I added a small poster with pictures of some of the leaves we had and their names for the children to have as a reference. This led us to our activity, the children choose the leaf that they liked the most and made a 3-dimensional version of it using playdough.<br />

2016 is coming to an end... Although signs were given of the ending of a year that was full of ups and downs, for some strange reason it feels like it just crept on me. Time is something that I had always dislike because you don't notice it until you look back and realize that the memories, friends, moments have become fuzzier and hard to remember. Places, people, moments that you once cherished with all your soul are far away or gone and there is nothing to do, there is only the famous phrase of "move on" but move on from what? from what makes who you are? what has shaped you one way or another, how can you move on from that? when it will always be there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year, I lost my great-grandmother and it changed everything for me. She was 95 years old and lived enough to see many changes in this world. She was an amazing storyteller and always full of life, an inspiration. As the days go by, those memories with her get fuzzier and interlock with others and at times it feels like I'm telling a story rather than recalling memories. That's what time does to you, everything becomes dreams from a far away life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thoughts that have come to me this morning that I thought I should post here. This year has been a learning experience, just like the others but this year I have come to realize the impact that our decisions, words, actions have on others. I wouldn't say that I am a selfish individual but some of my actions were selfish one way or another. Heck! the world has been so selfish this year and cruel at times. Our actions as minimal as we see them impact so much and the decisions we take for ourselves and others can either be great or damaging. I don't watch the news like I used to before because every time I put it on- pain, suffering, and death creeps out of it- not stopping ever, it's just one after the other and yes there has been great news, discovery, moments and I don't want to sound depressing or judgemental but it does get to you and the questioning begins- why is this happening? Why can't we see how greedy and unfair the system that we have created is, and how it has affected millions of life for years, decade, centuries! Can we really change things? Is it too late for us human beings to see the damage that we have caused for our brothers and sisters and the entire world- where do we go from here? And what can I do to make it better? That is all that I wish for 2017, for me and all of us to learn how to appreciate one another, our differences and similarities- to love and be loved and to give back to our communities and the world. </div>

I hope that all of you have an amazing day, wherever you are.</div>

For the third activity, I set up a provocation with the book titled, <u>Leaf Man</u> by Lois Ehlert and a series of materials for the children to use. I will say that this activity was what really sparked the children's interest and brought many smiles and excitements. The activity began by reading <u>Leaf Man </u>and discussing the different things that the author created using the leaves and told them that was exactly what they will be doing!<br />

I had the book on display for the children to use as a reference. For the materials, we use real and fake leaves, as well as other natural materials such as; a magnifying glass, pine corn, popsicles, among other things. The magnifying glass was provided because N* was interested in the "little lines" on the leaves that he noticed when we did the second activity. Since he was interested in the "little lines" on the leaves, I showed the children a diagram that shows the parts of the leaves and kept it on display. As the children work on their art piece, some of them were calling me to show me the parts of their leaves.<br />

<b><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;">How Can We Use Leaves?</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b> For the second activity, we read <u>Leaves </u>by David Ezra Stein and learned that we could use leaves in different ways, just as the character of the book did and so our phase II began. The children used leaves as part of their material to create their art piece. We discussed in what ways we could use leaves and what we can create with them. The children's responses were added to our web map. As the children created their art piece, I went around the table asking them what they were creating and the answers vary from each group that I met during center time.<br />
<br />
Some children were puzzled at first of what they were supposed to do with the leaves placed in front of them and in many instances, I had to tell them what to do. Yet, many of them were quite excited to be able to use leaves and were quick to choose their favorite leaves to create their art piece.<br />

'The Project Approach builds on natural curiosity, enabling children to interact, question, connect, problem-solve, communicate, reflect, and more." If you are interested in this type of approach check out the Project Approach <a href="http://projectapproach.org/">website</a>, they have great resources and project guide to help you start it.</div>

This is kind of like a unit project but guided by student's interest. I completed this project in a span of 2-3 weeks, but this can expand to months. </div>

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>Phase I: Getting Started</b></span></div>
<div>
This Project started when some children were retelling me what they have learned from their previous class. Some of the children would bring leaves from their play in front of the school yard to give me as a present, thus I thought that I could use this sudden interest and see how far we can get with it. I read the children <u>Mouse First Fall </u>by Lauren Thompson and Buket Erdogan as a provocation to see whether the children were actually interested in the subject of leaves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This literacy activity led to the main question of "why do leaves change color?" and a discussion on why they thought the leaves changed colors, helped us create our web map. This question led the way for a fun investigation that transforms itself into something the children were looking forward to expanding.</div>

For our first activity, I decided to collect leaves from the school's front yard and placed them on the table with notecards and crayons. For this activity, the children created an observational drawing of the leaves around the school and/or the neighborhood.</div>

For this project I wanted to prepare myself in order to answer the question asked during phase I. I decided to create a web map by including information such as; the names of the different types of leaves, the scientific reason why the leaves change colors, what are the leaves jobs, among other questions. However, as I introduced the second activity, I soon realized that the children were more interested in what they could create with the leaves than the scientific terminology I was throwing at them. I decided to focus on the creative aspect of this project, but still, included information that I belief to be good for them to learn.</div>

Today was my last day as a student teacher. It has been such a great experience for me, I was received with open arms and guided throughout my time there. I couldn’t have asked for a better cooperative teacher, team, and children. I truly felt part of the team and the children were my students, just as I was their teacher. I was able to learn about each of the student individually and as a group. I was able to learn about my weakness and strengths and how things work in the system. I learned that not everything will go as planned and sometimes it will make for a great lesson and sometimes it won’t.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
My advisor was such a great mentor and guide throughout this process. Always encouraging and helping me succeed in turning my weakness into strengths. Now I must move on and I had to say bye to the school that took me in and treated me like their own. I will miss them dearly but a new experience, school, cooperative, and students wait for me and I’ll ask God is for this to be an amazing experience as well. <o:p></o:p></div>

This is an example of what I gave the teachers at my school. I made a personalized card with these chocolates filled with caramel (they are delicious). Small gifts like this will be really appreciated and it's just a small gift for amazing individuals who made this experience a joyful and learning one.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Monday (Dec.5)</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On Monday, we began the letter "C" with the kids. "Curly Caterpillar" was the story we read and then the children were asked to recall the words that began with "C" in the story. We also did a pre-assessment activity in order to asses student's knowledge of the letter. At the end of the lesson I always like to count the words that we wrote down. The activity for today was to glue cottonball to a cut-out C.</div>

I found this website in Pinterest of a <a href="http://preschoolalphabet.blogspot.com/2015/10/c-is-for-cookies.html">homeschool mother</a> and she recommended the book and had an activity using cookies but I decided to use the cookies for the children to cut and glue to make a "C". Instead of printing out the activity she had, I decided to just do a screenshot and created this page full of cookies. The kids really loved doing this, they thought it was real cookies lol.</div>

This was a great lesson and my advisor loved it! I also received a passing grade for my student teaching !!! and I'm so happy. That also means that my time is coming to an end, sadly. My last day as a student teacher will be Monday(Dec.19) and I will be going to another school next semester to complete the second part of student teaching. </div>

I saw this exhibition at Kean University on Thursday (Dec 1) by Julie Oakes, Susan Collett, and Christian Bernard Singer. It is a small exhibition but with grate pieces, most of them were made out of paperclay and cement. They are both simple and breathtaking, plus it's a free exhibition and the public is welcome to visit. The exhibition is located at the Karl & Helen Burger Gallery and will open through December 20. Here I leave you with the picture I took of some of the art pieces.</div>

#1 Colorful self-portray- something different from the usual selfie.<br />
#2 Photographic mistake- picture of the floor with some leaves, the attempt at trying to vlog but I ended with this photo instead.<br />
#3 Black and White- Waiting for the train. I'm always snapping a couple of pictures while on the train platform or on the train.<br />

On Fridays, I have Kindergarten observation during the morning from 8:30-11:00 AM. I really love coming to this Kindergarten class, the children all have such a unique names and personalities (they can be a handful). I have learned so much from Ms. J and hope to follow in her steps. </div>

The picture above is a collection of books Ms. J has been reading the children the past week. On Friday, they read <u>Bear's Loose Tooth,, </u>Ms. J first engage them into a conversation about loose tooth and going to the dentist to get those who don't usually participate as much in class get a chance to talk. After that, Ms. J read <u>The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey. </u> this is such a fun and silly book. I myself had always loved this series.</div>

At 11 AM, I began my walk to the school I'm doing my Student Teaching. The kids have been learning about the letter 'B' and have been doing different activities. Today, we watch <u>Corduroy, </u> the book was read on Thursday (Here is the direct link to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhMSqGxyYDQ">part 1</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggyYV6g_X_Q">part 2</a> of the movie, if you are interested). The children then worked on cutting Christmas lights for decoration and drawing their favorite animal, which Ms.L had ready for them. I, personally, was helping a couple of children who have difficulty cutting. To tell you the truth I love having a one-on-one with the children and letting them know that even if they are not getting the information or having difficulty in some areas that it is okay and we will work on it. It really makes a difference when as a teacher you make the student feel proud of the work they do and trust me cutting might seem like a simple task but it can be a dreadful one for a child that has difficulty with it.The best thing to do is to have patient and encouraged the child by helping and telling them that they are doing a great job.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I then read them, <u>Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?. </u>A simple, colorful and fun little book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Today's Student Teaching Week was a short and simple one but like every day, I learned something new. Been a teacher is not an easy task and it takes a lot. This experience that I get to work with the children, staff of the school and other teachers, really has helped me evolve professionally and personally and for that, I am so grateful</div>

I literally stumble into her channel. She is an artist studying in Rhode Island and she usually shows outfit and beauty tips and her everyday life as a student in an art university. I love the aesthetic and simple editing and graphics in her video, so go and check her out!</div>

As I waited for the train and listened to the music through my earphones, everything slowed down like a slow motion video. It all seem like one of those sad or memorable music videos, listening to the rain and the people passing by. I like always was the spectator, the observer of this grand musical play. Lost in between the sodden rhythm, lost in this peaceful world, everything seems important- every detail matter. I stopped caring and began to appreciate what was in front of me, the strangers, the industrial music of the trains passing by and the sodden music of the rain drops as it hit the railways.<br />

Life is too short to waste in unnecessary thoughts, that only drives us to stress and sickness. Life should be about exploring, loving one another, giving and forgiving. I think that this world needs a lot of that, it needs love and compassion, it needs to be humble and stripped away from judging others for their skin color or religious belief. We all just need to love each other, because our differences are what makes us unique, interesting, lovable, it makes us learn and see the world thought the eyes of others-it makes life interesting! filled with ups and downs, regrets and success, it makes us grow and evolve in ways that we couldn't imagine.<br />
<br />
So, take a moment. Breath, slow down and take a moment to notice your surroundings. I will bet that you will see something that you had no idea it was there, but it was. It was always there; you just didn't see.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02853218199596859286noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919287268685351219.post-29343660638896861812016-11-29T05:26:00.001-08:002016-11-29T05:26:20.153-08:00Classroom Jobs Tags <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These classroom job tags work really great for my classroom needs and it's a simple DIY that only takes a couple of minutes. I'm still getting the hang of how to create graphics but until then, I will stick with the cutting and pasting just to bring more color into our routines.</div>

What are some things you do for your classroom jobs and/or classroom management? I have a multi-age classroom with children between the ages of 4-10 and sometimes it can get a bit chaotic but we make it work with what we have. Let me know your tips in the comment section ! Have a great week and thank you for stopping by!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Here are my top 10 read aloud for preschoolers. These books are so great for children and of course, I love them as well. I think it's really important if the teacher loves the book as well because it kind of brings to live the characters and the story.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Pete-Cat-Love-White-Shoes/dp/0061906220/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480568101&sr=1-1&keywords=pete+the+cat+i+love+my+white+shoessundayslullab-20" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Cover art" border="0" height="320" src="https://books.google.com/books/content/images/frontcover/7XD1i8bTHp0C?fife=w300-rw" width="250" /></a>I used Pete the Cat to introduced the color white and teach about story sequencing. It's such a fun book to read and children are quick to get the rhyming and sequencing on the book. You can also have some fun making up songs for each of the color Pete's shoes change. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Leaf Man</span></div>

It's a great book to use for Fall projects, for which the children will need to use leaves or any natural materials to create something out of it. It really expands children's creativity, which is always a great thing.</div>

<br />
This is just a short glimpse into what I did on Monday for my second observed lesson. My advisor came to observed me and basically grade me on the way I teach, interact with the children and how I work with the class management.<br />
<br />
On Monday, I introduce the children to the Thanksgiving week, by teaching them five "tier 3" sight words related to the topic. The vocabulary words used were : Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, Native Americans, Feast, and Harvest. The chosen words were part of the book I read, <u>Thanksgiving Day Thanks </u>by Laura Malone Elliot and Lynn Munsinger.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for Thanksgiving Day Thanks by Laura Malone Elliott and Lynn Munsinger" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61CXqnorRXL._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before I read the book, I asked the kids what they thought <i>Thanksgiving </i>meant and what were they thankful for. Their responses varied throughout both morning(green) and afternoon(red) class. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
( It was so funny, how one of the boys in the afternoon class was thankful for "girls". I found it both cute and funny ).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I read along, the children learned the different vocabulary words, which were represented using pictures of the words. The picture I used for this poster, were found on Pinterest and Google Image.</div>

<br />
During the pre-assessment, I was able to learn about the students' previous knowledge of Thanksgiving and implement educational objectives for which the children had to recall information from experience or familiar topic to answer the questions and speak audibly to express their thoughts, feeling and ideas about the topic. Some children were aware of words such as; <i>Thanksgiving </i>and <i>Harvest, </i>but most didn't know about the other words. These vocabulary words were explained during the read aloud by showing pictures. The sight words were reviewed and read aloud at the end of the lesson for a summative assessment and better comprehension.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
At the end of the lesson, we talked about what we do on Thanksgiving and how we celebrate Thanksgiving. The children then worked on a turkey paper bag, which I forgot to take picture of the beautifully and unique puppet that the children created. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
I hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving festivity like I did with my family. If you don't mind, please share how you taught the history of Thanksgiving for those who are teachers or how you celebrate it. </div>

For today's blog, I will share my picks for this Fall from SheIn. SheIn is an online store that ships to the US, Europe, and China, they have really great clothing, styles and are affordable which is great for a college student.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This Fall, I have noticed that a lot of people are wearing dark colors with hints of pink, red velvet, and orange. My wardrobe has mostly dark colors because 'black' goes with everything. So, I thought "why not add some colors to it". Here are my top picks that are on my wishlist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Minimalist Look</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this look, as you can see I chose all black ( Shirt, jeans, shoes, cardigan) and added a bit of color with the backpack and choker. This is kind of a relax and casual look that you can wear for college or to go out.</div>

This look has more colors and it is inspired by the Kpop group Shinee music video for the song "1 of 1" is a fun video and I love the colorful, kind of 70's style. I love the skirt with the cats and the backpack with the embroidered bird, it gives it a fun look to the outfit.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a simple outfit with a bit of Fall color. I love overall dresses, I used to wear them when I was little and had been obsess with them ever since, I think the color of this dress gives it some life to this outfit. I love black clothing, so adding bits of color once in a while is always a plus.</div>

As part of my Student Teaching experience, I have to observe a Kindergarten classroom for 20 hours during this semester. I love Ms.J so much that I have decided to visit her classroom for a longer period. I believe that the experience I will get with her is one-of-kind and I'm glad I was placed with such a great teacher.<br />
This Friday, as part of the Halloween week Ms.J read a Halloween story named " The 13 Nights of Halloween" and use cut-out characters of the book for the children to act as she read the story. I was allowed to the take some pictures of the materials, as well of the reading they did as part of Jumpstar's <i>Read for a Record</i> and children's work.<br />

<br />
Today is Halloween and all the children came dress-up and were so excited to show us their costumes and talk about who they were dressing at.<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> They all looked very cute and I loved the fact that they were so excited to go trick-or-treating, but I must say that this is the most tiresome day that I had experience as a student teacher so far. The morning class was super-excited and this whole excitement led to one of the student to vomit and w kind of lost control of the class, as some of the children wanted to show their costumes to the other teachers and children who were doing a little parade in the classroom to show their costumes and it just got a bit out of control. I now understand why Ms. L says that this is one of the craziest days at school! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As part of today's activity, Ms. L read the "Ten Timid Ghost" and used felt paper puppet as a visual aid.</span><br />

Although, I don't celebrate Halloween myself, I was glad to experience this day. It shows how things can get out of control due to other situation around the room and how as the teacher, you need to act quickly for the best interest of the students. The children were happy and enjoyed their time with their friends and I think that's all that matters. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Since I wrote about "<a href="https://sundaylullabiess.blogspot.com/2016/10/my-top-5-bloggers.html" target="_blank">My Top 5 Bloggers</a>" is just natural to write about my favorite Youtubers. I have become kind of obsess with these Youtubers and it really makes my day whenever I watch a new vlog (can't sound weirder than that). Many of these bloggers are based in South Korea, which is at the top of my list of the places I want to visit. I love the Korean culture and that's one of the reasons why I watch many of these Youtubers and of course because they are awesome! </div>

<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">(This happened on the week of Oct.24 . I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to publish this post.) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Today, I introduced the color white by reading <u>Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes </u>by James Dean & Eric Litwin<u> </u>and singing the white song. It was a success from the song to the book, the children were laughing and singing along, I tried to make the lesson as fun as possible by adding movement. During the reading, I did my best by singing the song in the book and although the children thought it was silly they truly enjoyed and laughed every time I sang it. The afternoon class even sang it with me and later throughout the day. I felt both happy and excited that they liked the lesson and learned from our small story sequencing activity and measuring activity, the children measured their lunch bags and other toys during snack and center time, which served as an assessment for myself and the students as I knew that they understood what was taught.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is the activity I did for "Story Sequencing", I found it on Pinterest. It was originally a worksheet , so I decided to enlarge it for a more interactive activity. ( You can find the worksheet on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/457608012121825195/" target="_blank">Preschool Lessons & Activities Board</a> on Pinterest). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KVMvd-HGky4/WBvWQSDgb_I/AAAAAAAACk4/Z6C9CGnI85sonhJZD6XpW2asL4AbqDiBgCLcB/s1600/20161026_193151.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KVMvd-HGky4/WBvWQSDgb_I/AAAAAAAACk4/Z6C9CGnI85sonhJZD6XpW2asL4AbqDiBgCLcB/s320/20161026_193151.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is the other activity I did, "Measuring objects". I used two shoes for the children to compare by size and color and also did an activity by measuring each other, I had four children and with the help of the class, we order them by height. So, vocabulary words such as largest, medium, and smallest was use throughout the lesson.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nothing makes you feel better than when a lesson goes as plan and when the children truly get and understand what you have taught and hear them talking about it during snack time and center time or even singing the silly song you made up to go with the book, it made me so happy and honor to be part of this class and have these children. This is a short conversation that I had with one of the students at the beginning of the day, that really marked the whole day for me and it's amazing what preschoolers do to you. Their smile, appreciation, and excitement to learn new things really fills you up and pushes you to create better lessons and activities that can motivate and create new experiences for them.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">He smiled at me, such a sincere smile from a boy who is full of energy and knowledge at such a young age. They truly are my first class, I have come to love their mismatch personalities and made-up stories that sometimes doesn't make any sense but cracks you up. These children are exceptional and they tried their best in their own way. And, just like them, I have to try my best all the time to teach them, motivate them, inspire them, and create new experiences for them.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02853218199596859286noreply@blogger.com0
