As a teacher I know that my job is to teach others new things. But what some people don't realize, is that I am still a student, always learning new things. My goal this week at school, is to not only teach my students, but to also learn at least one new thing each day. I spent a few hours today preparing for different reading groups by reading books and writing lesson plans for those books. I cannot wait to read Horrible Harry takes the cake with one of my groups! In this book it talks about different animals and some of them I have never heard of! I can't wait to hear about what students know about them and the possibility of looking the animals up!
To go along with looking things up, I wish I had an ipad to be able to look things super quick in our groups when we have questions about words, animals, or something else. I love technology and I love the idea of having something smaller than a laptop and easy for students to work with. An ipad would be AWESOME when working with my lower reading groups also, because we can use different manipulatives to help with "building" words and spelling. I guess I better start saving!
