Gettin' Ziggy With It

If I could go back, I would definitely manage my time more effectively in this class. This is the last day and I am still finishing up. I took 18 hours to graduate this semester on top of work and trying to find a job so I had a very busy semester. The last couple weeks I had to bust my butt to finish this classs but I am going to. There were plenty of time management options for me to use and I should of utilized them more efficiently. Clocks; Link

I saw this challenge a couple weeks ago and decided to try it out today. I think it really helps with understanding the story better the first time you read it and just all around comprehension of stories. It was a little awkward because I felt like I was talking to myself but once I got over that it was okay. I noticed I have done this before without realizing it when I write papers for school. I have done it more in capstone class due to not wanting to make a mistake. I should start doing this more often! reading out loud; link

This is the first time I have seen this story. I think it is a good way to connect with kids and really understand that not every kid is the same and you have to adapt as teacher to kids environments to connect with them and find out the best way for them to learn. Keeping this anonymous is key because a lot of these children would be embarrassed to tell others and now a days would probably get made fun of for it. I think this teacher had an amazing idea and I hope that teachers all across the country are using this method to help there students feel comfortable admitting something because I think that will help them with being able to swallow their pride and ask for help later in life. Its all about trust. Photo from NYT
