Candy Corn Math

Candy Corn math! In my practicum classroom, I did a math lesson on pairing numbers in numerical form, word form, and object form. To do this I used candy corns! The students loved it (and getting to eat the candy corn at the end)! I gave the students the number in the word form to practice writing and they were pretty much able to figure out what number it was on their own! This was great for my kindergarteners!

Autsim Speaks at JSU!

This last week at Jacksonville State I had the opportunity to speak at the 2nd Annual Autism Conference along with five of my classmates and my professor. This was something that I will never forget. It was an absolute honor to speak on such a huge topic. My group and I presented apps that are great for students with autism. We presented apps to current teachers, classmates, JSU personnel, parents, and parents with children on the autism spectrum.

 The conference allowed us to gain ideas on we can do as a future teacher that may have students with ASD in our classrooms. As future educators and JSU teacher candidates we understand the importance of creating a comfortable and welcoming learning environment for ALL of our students.

Retell Lesson

In my kindergarten practicum classroom, I did a retell lesson. In a retell lesson the students tell the sequence of events from the story back to you. This is a Alabama state kindergarten standard. For this lesson, I used the book called The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything. This book is so much fun!

 To allow the kids to retell the lesson to me, I used a felt board and an app called pic collage. The app allowed the students to build the scarecrow from the book in the order that the clothing items came along. The students also wrote what happened at the end of the book and drew the picture themselves!

He scared all the birds away!
