Teacher Interns: Assisting at Wheatridge Middle School

This Week, August 26-29th the Teaching Interns left GEHS and traveled to Wheatridge Middle School to help set up a classroom.

This helped students see how difficult and time consuming setting up a classroom to ensure organization and optimal use of space. Students assisted in the FCS classrooms and helped create posters, inventory supplies, organize and set up kitchens.

Students will being going to their placements Tuesday, September 2nd.

 

 

 

Ice Breakers

Objective: “Establish a positive climate to promote learning”

Over the first two weeks of school each student designed an “ice breaker” activity and taught the activity to the class. We did these activities to help meet our learning objectives:

· Establish a positive climate to promote learning. (KPES 5) (Domain 2.2a) 15.1

  · Establish respect and rapport to foster positive social and intellectual interactions.  

Some of the activities we did include:

· Year of the Coin, the Shoe Game, Brown Bag activity, Adjective Game, Dice Game, I Have Never. . .,  Human Scavenger Hunt, Telephone Name Game, Snowball Fight, What Would You Bring to the Picnic, Down by the Bank, Would You Rather, Freeze, Remember Me?, Red Rover, Deserted Island, Spider Web, Alphabetical Name Game

Exploring Teaching will hopefully allow students many opportunities to develop respect and promote learning in a variety of ways.

 

Chica Chica Boom Boom

Look Who’s In this classroom.

                Exploring Teaching and Teaching Internship are off to a wonderful start. As a class we read Chica Chica Boom Boom and completed our 2014-2015 Finger Print Tree. This tree is a tradition in room 301 and features each future teachers thumb print and signature. This tree helps create a positive classroom climate of inclusion and learning.

                Each student also selected an alpha letter and wrote their name to decorate our palm tree.

Flat Stanley Fun

For our first Book Box we read a passage from Flat Stanley’s: His Original Adventures. We created a GEHS Instagram Account. Make sure to follow us at @GEHSFutureTeachers.

Preparing for a new year

School supplies and in and it’s time to get ready for a brand new school year. As a teacher, school supplies’ shopping has always been one of my favorite activities. This year we have some new additions to room 301, including our brand new reading rug. Students will each develop a Book Box this year and teach a lesson to the class.
