By introducing the lesson it will promote social interaction, it will enhance teacher/student comfortability and it will gain their attention and learning interest.…
This method breaks through the traditional approach to teacher and response instruction. The small group guided practice presents us with an interactive game which will guide the learning process. In order for students to learn something, they must have a genuine interest in the subject. The game is also structured in a way that is enjoyable for the child as they are able to start with one card, such as rain. After they have been introduced to the full word (raincoat) they are split apart into two different words.…
Teachers take contentment in gazing at children who want to gain knowledge on their own and who have a diligent attitude. I am concerned in doing activities methodically, and to become skilled at subjects in which I will demonstrate…
During the summer, I taught reading, math, and science to a small 3rd grade class. It was up to me to determine the right method of teaching based off a teaching plan that was provided. I knew that lecturing 3rd graders for 2.5 hours would not help me to get my message across. Therefore, I decided to create fun, educational games that the children can play while still learning the material. Not only did I excite them by allowing them to play games as a team, I was able to see how they communicated with each other.…
Each student, class, and year is different so the teacher must engage the students…
Project 9: An Observation of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation (Chapter 12- Motivating Students to Learn) For this project, I observed Miss. Walters, who is a gym teacher at the school I work at, Boulder Hill Elementary.…

In this way, all children could participate and get actively engaged in learning. ” Supervisor: “I am glad you figured it out so quickly. I think these techniques worthwhile giving a try. If it doesn’t work out, I have some other ideas to try later on.…
This helped check for student understanding of terms. This game was the modification used for this lesson. This modification was added after observing students understanding in previous…
My husband and the teachers at the school that I substitute at motivated me to go back to school. They all said since I love being around children and good at teaching them, that I should get my degree in elementary education. Also, my university counselor Mary O’Brien was so helpful with getting me signed up for classes. She also motivated me and always told me she believed that I would be a great student. Motivation is important for student success because it boost the student’s confidence and self-esteem.…
Educational Autobiography Have you ever wondered where you would be today if you did not have the education you’ve had along the way? Throughout my years my motivation has stemmed from not only my parents, family and my teachers but it has come from within myself too. I strongly believe that praise and reward can help a student who is struggling or help them with their weaknesses. Carol Dweck in “Brainology” states that a growth mindset person has better odds of becoming who they want to be in life and that their intelligence will take them far (Dweck 1).…
Creating Engaging Lessons To create lessons that are engaging, educators can use “hooks” to grab the student’s attention and keep them highly engaged throughout the class period. “Hooks” need to be introduced at the beginning of the lesson so students will become sold on the material right away. If not, students will become bored and that’s when educators start having discipline and behavior problems. “Hooks” need to be strong and should explain “what students are about to learn, why what they are about to learn is important, and how the learning will take place (the day’s agenda)”…
This, Skemp asserts, is required before we can fully understand the ‘whole’. Skemp offers examples of more tangible learning techniques (hands on, unifix for example) which help to develop this inter-relationship between concepts. In my own practice, this brought to mind how arrays can help a child ‘see’ the relationship between multiplication and division for example. He proposes that pupils develop a ‘schema’ which becomes a “goal in itself”, which in turn influences a pupil’s confidence. He therefore brings to attention how important emotions are to how we learn.…
A crucial component when leading engaging activities is my approach to learning. I consider myself to be optimistic about learning, and set that example to the children when introducing a new lesson. When inviting the children to participate I want to remain on task and enthusiastic. A child can learn to model this approach to learning as well. This type of positive modeling can also impact the families of the children as well.…
A) Initiation/Motivation: (5 Minutes) 1. The teacher will begin the lesson by asking the students to walk over to their letter on the carpet.

The teacher will them tell the students that first the teacher will play the 3D shape song so the students can listen and sing along.…
