Journal Entry Chapter 9:

 

        I think there are many personal characteristics that a teacher must have in order to create an effective classroom community. 

        For starters, teachers definitely need to have patience. When a teacher has patience, they are able to professionally and effectively overcome challenges that may arise in the classroom and with students. Teachers should also model patience and what it looks like to their students because overall, it is beneficial in maintaining a classroom and it also helps children carry on this trait throughout their lives. 

        Teachers should also have a the ability to be positive and build meaningful relationships with their students. When teachers build relationships with their students, it helps the students feel safe and cared for in the classroom. Building relationships can also impact their students' learning in a positive manner. 

        Lastly, teachers should also respect their students as a whole individual. When your students feel that they are respected by their adult teacher, it can greatly improve not only classroom management but the classroom community as a whole. For example, if a student who has a teacher that truly respects and values them, they are more likely to come into the classroom with a positive mind and motivation to do well in their academics.

Journal Entry Chapter 3:

      I always had mixed feelings about standardized testing when I was younger. It would make me really nervous to take tests because I never wanted to do poorly so that always motivated me to do my best but it also stressed me out a lot during the test taking because I would always doubt my answers and that made me take more time on each question. When I was younger, my test taking abilities weren't always a strength of mine and even today sometimes I struggle with that but I would like to say that I've progressed myself in being a better test taker. There was never really a particular test that I enjoyed taking, but the English portion was one that I always did the best in. I've always enjoyed writing since I was young, so I did like to do the writing portion at the end of standardized testings because writing was always enjoyable to me. When the Pandemic started, I was super nervous because our school went completely online during that time and I have never been good ...

           In today's world, technology plays a huge role in classrooms now, so I feel that technology integration could pose as a challenge to me as a future teacher. Since COVID-19, technology has been implemented in classrooms and schools as a whole so much more than what it used to be. Technology has become an important tool within schools because it is now another version for how students learn. When you look around in schools now compared to years ago, you see chrome books, digital whiteboards, artificial intelligence, tablets, and much more.          I definitely feel that this could be a challenge for me as I consider myself to be a more traditional learner. I have never really been tech-savvy and have always loved the traditional use of pencil and paper. Besides using my phone, laptops and computers have definitely never been a strength of mine. During COVID, I had struggles learning how to use my chrome book whether that b...

    When I imagine myself teaching a lesson about a favorite hobby, I would imagine teaching a lesson on something creative like painting or drawing.       This lesson could be a window to students because it could give students who don't really gravitated towards painting or drawing the opportunity to explore expressing their creativity. They could observe their classmates paint and draw to learn new ways that could make it more fun. I could also use this lesson as an opportunity to help students be more engaged and interested in the art process. For example, I could show them what happens when they mix colors, like how blue and red makes the color purple. This could help expand their art techniques and learn something they may have not known before.      This lesson could also be a mirror to students because they could use their artwork to connect meaningful things or experiences. For example, they could draw artwork of their family members...
