Teacher-librarian

got so many priceless experience that I have never expected before. At the first time I could not imagine myself as a real teacher who taught students, especially children in front of the class, also being a librarian that I have not learned before; I cannot believe that I can do this all as well as I can. In teaching, either as an English teacher or as a substitute teacher (teach every subjects beside English), I have accustomed to teach them in the class. I mean, when the first time I…

that over again for a couple months I could write my name. Eventually when I got my name down pat, she would do sentences. So before I even started kindergarden I was writing my name and a few other words. Mrs. Anne Blackmon was my first grade teacher, and I can remember her going from student to student making us sound out each letter. She would even play sounding games with us. She had this video she would put on, and whoever raise their hand first to tell her what letter the sound made got…

believe that online teachers are just playing pretend. In his essay Combating Myths About Distance Education which is published in the Chronicle of Higher Learning, Todd Gilman effectively appeals to his audience of educators, professors, and scholars, to confront the myths and misconceptions about online education. Gilman successfully makes his audience feel sympathy with the use of pathos. The tone of the essay is set when Gilman uses a simile to describe the unfair way online teachers are…

For today session “ I plan to display poems, chants, and song” that Melissa and I have read together. I will also “list commonly used words in our shared readings.” (Taberski. H 2000) In Addition, I will be observing Melissa to see if she will comment on the story instead of waiting for me to ask what the story is about because “ it is important to note that when children understand what they are reading, they often comment on the story as they go. Many times they don’t wait to be asked what the…

One’s inspiration can be sparked from anything: an inspirational teacher, a caring parent, or a strict librarian. Children will go to great lengths to mimic their role models and try to become exactly like them. When I was a child, I looked up to my teacher. Mrs. Flathau seemed to have a smile on her face at all times, and she would try her best every day. On a daily basis, my teacher would pass out papers. I would immediately raise my hand to pass them out when she asked. Mrs. Flathau would…

There are many instances in my life that shaped, formed, and helped me become who I am as a writer and a reader. There were certain teachers that got me interested in reading and later helped grow my love for reading. There were experiences that weren’t always so good but that didn’t make them insignificant to my development. Everything that I experienced could have had a different affect on another person. It may have even negatively affected them. However, in my case, because of how I was…

Initially I asked questions to know him more, such as what is his favorite subject, and he said Math, what is his favorite math lesson, and he said times fact. When I asked him, what is place value, Jacob, mentioned that they were supposedly study it in second grade, but they didn’t so they just started to study place value.

to coding and helping others with problems that involve technology. Firstly, I have a great teacher that keeps me engaged. My teacher, Mrs. Hockenberry, does many hands on activities with us including walking us through fixing a computer or designing a 3d item. One specific reason would be because our school has many pieces and parts of technology for me to use. Mrs. Hockenberry also was awarded teacher of the year which just goes to show she isn’t just known for her excellency…

When teaching with the guided inquiry model, it allows students to investigate the teachers question while using their own designs and selected procedures. Guided inquiry is a different way of thinking. Students in elementary school now are taught science a different way than when we were taught. Guided inquiry is a way to offer inquiry, planned, and guided instruction by a team of teachers and a school librarian allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of a subject area curriculum…
