Resource Blog 3



Hey everyone! I have linked my resource here for y'all to see. I think this is a wonderful resource for us future math teachers. It is a website created by Howard County School System, and it is jam packed for of resources and tools. The particular page I linked is for 5th grade math, and there are tons of different pdf files available for download. From place value charts to grids to venn diagrams, this website has so much to offer. As future math teacher, I think we will sometimes have a perfect lesson in our heads, but not have the resources to make it successful in our classrooms. Having these files that we can download instantly will for sure come in handy when we are trying to create interesting lessons. Not to mention, students love a fun worksheet, especially the kind that don't actually have real problems. Most of these pdf documents are supplementary materials, things that we can integrate into our lessons that students can use to visualize concepts.





While this particular website is linked to math (5th grade math to be exact), they offer these same resources for other middle grades math, and I'm sure as well as other content areas. I think having resources like these will be beneficial to keep in our back pockets as we make our way into education. Especially as young teachers, I figure we will struggle coming up with supplementary materials such as worksheets, so it will be very handy to be able to pull them up here. Math can sometimes be hard to teach and hard to learn, and that is why I think it is so important and beneficial to collaborate with others and share these great resources.

    Kim,

    This resource is great! I loved the point you brought up about new teachers like us being fresh to the classroom and sometimes needing a resource that fits an idea in our head. It's not always easy to bring an idea to fruition, and this resource does a fantastic job of trying to help out teachers in that way. This website has so many different topics, so it can be used a lot without feeling like you're getting repetitive. Great post!

Book Club Pitch

Trouble River by Betsy Byers https://www.amazon.com/Trouble-River-Betsy-Byars/dp/0140342435 Summary: Trouble River  is a novel that takes place on an isolated prairie farm in the 1800s. When 12-year-old Dewey Martin frightens off one Indian trespasser, Dewey fears a raiding party will soon follow. His parents have gone to distant Hunter City to have a new baby, leaving behind Dewey, his grandmother, and his dog. The fastest means of escape is the small raft Dewey has built but does not know how to use. The three set off—with Grandma on her rocker—on Trouble River, a twisting and unpredictable route that offers its own challenges to safety. As they head for Hunter City, they cling to the hope that Dewey's parents have not encountered the raiders. The travelers fend off a pack of wolves and overcome raging rapids before reaching Hunter City, reuniting with Dewey's parents and new little sister.

Synthesis blog 5

Teaching, more specifically, teaching effectively can sometimes be a hard task. As teachers, it is our job incorporate different methods in order to best reach our students. Throughout our reading of Subject Matters, I have learned different ways to being literary into my future classroom. This chapter in particular talked about book clubs. Although the idea of a book club in class may first seem as if it could only be successful in a literature class, after reading this chapter, it is clear for me to see that, if implemented well, a book club can actually be very successful across the curriculum. I say “implemented well” because I do think there is room for it not to be successful in, for say, a math classroom. If the books used for the book clubs aren’t a great fit with the curriculum, we may lose student engagement as well as not covering what we had planned to cover. However, when done right, I think a book club can be quite beneficial. Something I really liked from Subject...

Five Silly Turkeys by Salina Yoon

Today I read Five Silly Turkeys by Salina Yoon. I never read this book as a kid myself, so it was a new one for me. I think any child would like this book, it had many different colors and pictures. I had a good time with this assignment, I had a little trouble keeping the book within the picture frame of my computer, but I thought that was a fun assignment to get us started with our blog posts.
