3.2: 100th Day of School

     In my intro to Ed class we are having to pick something for our high school to do for the 100th day of school. 

    For my idea I picked we do an ice cream party in our English classes on Wednesday and thursday since those are our long class days.  As a whole class we had to go around and share our ideas and rank them based on what we think is the best one. I also liked the idea of showing 100 acts of kindness. 

   my favorite thing to celebrate the 1ooth day of school in elementary school was having a party. we also did parties in middle school as well. we would always have popsicle parties and play on the playground and we would miss some class to play. 

    so for our 100th day of school in high school this year and me being a senior I want to take it back. although we do not have a playground, we could eat ice cream in our English classes and each student could participate in buying thing for their English classes party if they are able to. 

3.1: My One Word

    

    In my intro to ed class we are picking one word. This one word is our word for the 2026 year. This word is supposed to mean something to us. So I picked productive for my one word. 

    At first I did not know what my word would be but the word productive kept coming back to me. This word to me means to stay motivated but also don't lose the mind set what you want and keep moving forward with it and keep progressing. 

    In the year 2026 I want to use this word to remind myself to keep my head on track and keep accomplishing what I want to achieve and accomplish. I want to stay productive this year and I want to stay productive this year by going through and finishing what I say I want to accomplish.  

   In collusion I hope this word not only benefits me but the others around me as well. I know it will help me accomplish all of my 2026 goals and I hope it does others too.   

2.1 mini teach highlight

Recently I got to make a mini lesson in my introduction to education class. The lesson I created was for a group of first graders in math class. 

For my math lesson we did a number comparison sheet and found what numbers were greater, less than, and equal to. To start my lesson we went over a few problems together and I made sure that they were fully understanding the concept as if this was the end of the unit. I gave them group work as well, they worked with their tables to do the other half of the page and help each other. For the end of the lesson I let them do their extra practice alone. I really liked the whole part of planning. I like this part because there was so much to choose from. I also feel as if this was real first grade class it would have been harder to pick worksheets and plain a lesson because you would have to find what works for your class and what is best for them in that time. 

By doing this lesson I have learned that lesson planning is harder than you would expect. Everything teachers do is to benefit students.
