Photo Essay Tricia Kirk RED 331 Spring Semester 2003
About Me I am a senior at the University of South Alabama. Go Jags!! I will earn my bachelor’s degree in elementary education in the fall of 2003.
About Me… • I have one older sister and one older brother. • My hobbies include working out, shopping, spending time with friends, and reading. • I also love animals, sports, and the outdoors.
Philosophy of Teaching I believe all children have the ability to learn. It is my job as a teacher to facilitate this by providing a classroom that is developmentally appropriate, age appropriate, and culturally appropriate As a teacher you set the climate and pace of your classroom. The power rests in your hands to set expectations, and goals. You can either humanize or dehumanize the children in your classroom.
Woodcock Elementary • I completed my internship at Woodcock Elementary. • I was a teacher’s aide in a second grade classroom with cooperating teacher Jennifer Vieira.
Classroom Library Miss Vieira has a levelized classroom library that was pretty impressive to me. The children also have individualized book boxes.
Balanced Literacy • Everyday in the classroom was a new experience. Reading is implemented throughout the day. Individual reading, shared reading, guided reading, and read-alouds are all incorporated into the children’s school days.
Balanced Literacy Modeled writing, journal writing, and guided writing are also important parts of the children’s balanced literacy
Literacy Centers Literacy centers played a big part in the classroom. I like literacy centers because they are fun, creative ways that children learn. Miss Vieira had several literacy centers in her classroom.
Reading Strategies This bulletin board shows the various reading strategies. At least one strategy is used during guided reading sessions.
Guided Reading Guided reading groups take place during literacy centers.
Until Next Time… “Soar to greater heights through learning.”
