ALEX is going to help us!
ALEX is a one stop for all website! It has great ideas for lesson plans, activities, professional development, and much more! It’s also great way for teachers to collaborate from all over to continue to improve and educate better! One con is that there could be a lack of teachers updating their ideas and contributing to the site so I will be sure to research elsewhere as well. I do not want my ideas to become stale or comfortable but always to push learning and hold my students attention.

AVL(Alabama Virtual Library)
AVL(Alabama Virtual Library)
I am a big advocate of AVL! Our children are very much so technology learners, I want to relate to them and bridge the gap of their life and school! It is one thing that children spend a lot of time doing and an interactive way to learn. It has resources that they will go one to use in Middle school, High school, and College for example: EBSCO, Britannica, etc. One Con is that there may be a lack of computers available in the classroom so I may have to adjust accordingly.

Podcasts, Listen up!
Podcasts, Listen up!
Children love to listen to tapes and stories and I desire to keep my students engaged in their school work. Podcasts have many benefits including they can be listened to anytime, anywhere! Listening to Podcasts will also help with their listening and direction following skill development. I do realize that not all students have access to computers outside of school so I will do my best to accommodate.

Large Portion of Love!
Large Portion of Love!
I believe and will be strictly enforcing a large, over portioned helping of love to all of my students. My disclaimer that comes with my large portion is that love doesn’t always look happy or provide a child what they WANT but what they NEED. I will do my best to always be kind and use positive reinforcement rather that negative. I believe that many classrooms today lack the amount of love necessary in the recipe. I do ask that you please remember that I am human too and am far from being “Super teacher to the rescue!” but hopefully I can show you that I desire to constantly pursue loving them and loving them well.

How do you learn best?
How do you learn best?
One thing I strive NOT to do in my classroom is to force my students to mold to a certain way of learning that is not for their benefit. I do my best to collaborate and find ways in which they learn best and enjoy it. Some children are more hands on and others are more listeners, there are many ways of learning! I do believe that my classroom will not always be the best environment for every type of learner and their different styles but I do wish to close the gap further and set them up to grow with fair opportunities set up for THEM. I also try to incorporate other things that they love into the classroom like art, music, and whatever else their hearts lean towards.
