Classroom+Ideas

This is a picture of a poster my cooperating teacher has hanging up in the classroom. It lists all of the skills my teacher expects of her students. These skills include being a flexible and self-directed learner, being a globally aware and responsible student citizen, being a creative and practical problem solver, being an informative literature researcher, being an effective communicator, and lastly, being a collaborative team member. When my students were learning about the eight different moon phases my teacher put the students into groups and had them complete a project. She provided the students will all the materials they needed and the students really seemed to enjoy working with their peers to complete something that they thought was fun. This is a picture of the back of my cooperating teachers classroom. As you can see, she has all of the planets hanging from one side of the classroom to the other and all of the planets are in the correct order from the sun. On her bulletin board, my cooperating teacher has a section to hang up the students writing pieces. The ones being displayed in this picture are the students personal narratives. She also has a current events section on the bulletin board, where each week four different students have to make a poster and present a "current event" to the class. Below the bulletin boards are shelves which carry all of my cooperating teachers leveled books.
