Woodland School

As a teacher, personally, I feel like I'm going to explore more ways that are creative, not strict, but firm that I can get louder kids, especially if they're a younger K22 slowly quiet down without feeling as if they are in trouble. I use positive reinforcement by giving each student a squishy toy. If they were to behave, some students felt like they were being left out by not getting this squishy toys. So I made them attempt to stay quiet for the last 10 minutes or so of class and to raise their hand over. They want to speak to receive that squishy toy. Otherwise, I think that teaching was streamlined by having that the grasshopper lesson plan and adjusting it to suit each student's needs. Luckily for today, I was able to cover everything in the lesson plan and I look forward to taking on the project. With the students next week.

Hello grasshopper team today. I went to Woodland school and I had a class of 12 students. One class, one classmate was actually missing, but the 11 remaining students were able to get quickly into groups. And we started by firstly discussing what safari animals were, and how they related to Stem. We all agreed that it has something to do with science. And each of the classmates, Were randomly assigned, an animal based on, if they were able to guess it, in an appropriate amount of time, eventually, all of the students were able to get an animal and the Safari animal was in the shape of a headband, they call her, the headbands, and I size it on their heads. They will be taking those headbands back again, next week and engaging in those particular animals in order in order to explore more about them and their behaviors or habitats. And Not, but we covered the fundamentals of stem of science, technology, engineering, and math. Each of the students had an example that they understood, whether it be that their parents were engineers, whether it be, if they understood how a calculator worked and how it related to each of the parts of the acronym. But otherwise students had a lot of fun. Some of them were a bit Rowdy, but we're able to quiet down with incentives and room rules. Next week, we are planning to do a project where we have a safari car and try to build a bridge to make a cross. To another side to save a safari animal, and I'm looking forward to that. Thank you.
