Education 2500 ExperienceCrafts:
I taught the kids this Butterfly String Paint Craft. I got to incorporate what they were learning about in Science with the butterflies, and Math by teaching them about the line of symmetry. Rationale: 5) All students can learn, albeit at different rates in different ways. - I had to acknowledge that for this activity and varied the way I taught it depending on the students and allowed extra time for those students that needed it Story Writing: I also got to help the kids with their story writing. I helped kids in the class and also took the kids out of class in small groups to work on writing and illustrating their story, The Secret Shortcut. Once completed the kids gave their stories to their Dad’s for Father’s Day. Rationale: 9) There are many approaches to teaching and learning. - Due to being at a Grade 1/2 split class there were many varying levels of writing throughout the classroom. It was interesting to see how the Teacher handled this and one of the strategies I adapted was allowing older students to help and share work with the younger students which was very effective.
