Blog Journal Number 4
Hello everyone! Sine I plan to teach first grade, I have chosen to look into the ELA Technology Standards for grade 1. The standard that I chose is LAFS.1.RI.2.5, which is focused on knowing and using different text features to locate different key information within the text. You can do this by including headers, footers, icons, images, glossaries, table of contents, etc. I would like to implement this standard in my classroom because technology can get confusing, so learning and knowing how to locate the information can be extremely helpful. I believe I am prepared to implement this standard, as I could create different templates, websites, books, etc. to practice these skills within the classroom. There are many online tools like Canva, to help create these templates to teach.
As a first grade teacher, there are many different subjects and topics that will be taught. After looking at the CPALMS Educator Toolkit for first grade, I found many resources available. One specific resource that I would like to implement to my classroom, would be the "Let's Talk About Money" resource under mathematics. This resource contains four different parts, but it is an interactive activity to help students understand the value of coins and dollars. This activity can be done through sorting coins, hundred charts, number lines, skip counting, etc. I found this resource interesting because it shows many different ways to teach one basic daily skill. I also liked this resource because it is very interactive, which I think would work best with teaching math to first graders.
Internet searching is something that we do in our everyday lives. Teachers specifically need to be proficient at internet searching because they need to be able to teach students how to find constructive research online, as well as find their own resources for their classroom. The internet can be very frustrating to use when the results you are hoping for do not show up, so as a teacher it is important to learn how to use different search engines, and advanced searches, etc. From this week I think learning about the CPALMS Educator Toolkit will be the most helpful to my teaching. This internet source provided a bunch of resources for a variety of subjects and grades. It also provided activities and standards to follow while teaching. This internet source and the ELA Technology Standards, were both skills that I haven't learned about until this week. It was very interesting to see how much there is to help guide teachers on their journey.
