Introduction

To be a teacher you must have a passion for it. There will be days that you are challenged and must be patient and days that are great. As a teacher you must learn to take the good with the bad. All children are different and all teachers have a different style of teaching. It is up to us as teachers to work together to better equipt each child with the knoldge that he or she may need. Children are like little precious plants that need food to grow. The food that teachers give just happen to be knoldge.

Teaching Philosophy
Teachers must be patient and understanding, compationate and wise. Once we are all of these things we then can teach our children the same.

Sample Lesson One

Great Fourth Grade Readers Can Choose Just Right Books

Curricular Objective:

By teaching students better strategies for reading they will be able to choose different genres of books. They will become familiar with reading fiction, non fiction, science and autobiographies.

Task:

Students will be paired up with a partner and will be given sets of fiction, non fiction, autobiographies and science books. Students should then choose their book of choice. Next, students should choose the book that is just right for them by taking the following steps. The students should ask themselves while reading the first two pages if there were more than four words that they did not understand. Did they understand what they were reading, and did they like what they read. If they answered yes to more than one then that is the right book for them. After discussing this as a team the students should then place their work on an excel spread sheet.

Process:

1. Students will then open up the excel program.
2. Students will place books read down the side of their spread sheet, and the questions asked across the top.
3. Record all information by answering yes or no to the questions in each individual box.
4. Make the title bold, and change the background to green.
5. Be sure to include both first and last names on the bottom of your spread sheet.
