1. Ms. Bryant’s Kindergarten Schedule:

Reflection: The schedule shows that there is a lot time spent on reading, which is an hour and forty-five minutes a day. I do think it’s important for the children to work on their reading, but what about social studies and science. There should be more time allotted for that. If the teacher wants the children to work on their reading skills, then they should purposefully integrate reading in social studies and science. The direct reading instruction is the reading time. The indirect reading time includes math, social skills, science, social studies, and writing.

2. Graphs

Reflection: According the research, children tend to be more optimistic, especially African American children. Since their mindsets are cheerful, then we as teachers should teach with an open mind. Going to the next day, there should be a thought that yesterday is in the past, and today is a new day because children should be given a second chance. The children will also be more receptive when they trust you. Having 11 girls and 11 boys is an interesting aspect.

The authority that guides me is an article, “The Impact of Multisensory Instruction on Learning Letter Names and Sounds, Word Reading, and Spelling,” written by Nora W. Schlesinger and Shelley Gray. The article comes from Annals of Dsylexia, and was published March 2, 2017. After reading this article I have come to realize that children need tactile learning to improve if they are struggling. The research indicated that “multisensory intervention advantage for maintenance of words read and spelled” would be improved for the children (Schlesinger, 2017). The children may not be dyslexic, but they do need my help in reading. At this point, I feel responsible for these children, and I want them to grow. I will do whatever it takes because I will advocate for 22 others when I get a

    The goal of a guided reading lesson is for the students to develop strategies they can apply for independent reading. It focuses on more than just the process of reading proficiently but allows for cross checking print and making meaning from the text (Gagen, 2007). The significant benefits of guided reading are establishing fundamental skills necessary for proficient reading, identifying weakness and strengths, improving attention to detail, building fluency, expanding vocabulary and developing reading comprehension. Guided reading is one of the most effect tools of improving the fundamental reading skills and developing a higher level of comprehension (Miller-Burkins, 2010). Rada, Jean, Sophia and Thomas would have definitely developed confidence in their literacy skills and further developed them throughout this lesson by using the guided reading, comprehension strategies and the four recourse model.…

    This piece of evidence is an edTPA Planning Commentary and my Practicum Reading Conference reports. These artifacts were created based on two kindergarten learners, focusing on reading, during my practicum time (10+ hours) completed at St. Stand’s Elementary School (a Stevens Point parochial school). I used Boushey and Moser’s 2009 Reading Conference Form to document my student’s reading behaviors, progress, and needs, which I noticed during our meeting times. After conducting several oral reading processes, I noted that both student’s central focus should be automaticity and accuracy. The edTPA Planning Commentary and Reading Conference reports were written and adapted to meet the assignment requirements for my Methods and Materials for Teaching…

    Writing Disability Simulation Simulating to suffer Dysgraphia was actually harder than expected. Not only did I learn that Dysgraphia is a condition that causes trouble with written expressions, but also I got to understand how hard and frustrating it is to deal with this problem for children who suffer this disorder. Moreover, when a child has to deal with the same problem day after day, he or she may be called lazy, or dumb; as a result, he or she gets frustrated. However, if a child has not been evaluated and diagnosed with this specific learning disability; it may be even harder for them to cope with any comments that teachers or classmates make about their writing problems.…

    Focus and Extension #1 Five Key Learnings: • Wiggins and McTighe (2005) state that “The ability to transfer our knowledge and skill involves the capacity to take what we know and use it creatively, flexibly, fluently, in different settings or problems, on our own” (p. 40). We are only able to teach a limited amount of skills in a relatively short time frame. It is our hope that students will be able to take what they have learned and apply it to many different situations and aspects of their life. If our students can do this, then we have been successful as teachers. • “To get beyond mere rote learning and recall, we have to be taught and be assessed on an ability to see patterns, so that we come to see many “new” problems we encounter as variants of problems and techniques we are familiar with” (Wiggins and McTighe, 2005, p.40).…

    Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell in your native language, despite having an at least average intelligence. Dyslexia is very common, but has only been talked about in recent years. It was 1878 when German neurologist, Adolph Kussmaul, first used the phrase “word blindness” describing what we know as dyslexia today. The word dyslexia was first used by Rudolf Berlin of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1887 to describe the inability to read. In 1905 W.E. Burner published the first report of childhood reading difficulties in the U.S..…

    INTRODUCTION Physical Education cannot be separated from the general education, but compared to the other study, it is really different. It makes student to be healthy. However, in reality, it is regarded as a boring and tiring subject that contradicted the basic concept of said education. Another fact is that there is no relation between the curriculum and the student’s real life in school which is tended to be exclusive, narrow minded, too academic, and it looks like all students are directed to be a scientist (Siswoyo, 2004). Physical Education takes two hours every week with every hour is consisted of 30-40 minutes.…
