Language Essentials for Teachers
This book was covered in EDUC 397: Curriculum and Instruction in the Humanities. It provides in depth explanations of phonetics, phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax, semantics, and structured language and literacy instruction.
During my first practicum, I implemented a writing routine in the grade 2/3 class based on Adrienne Gear’s book called Powerful Writing Structures. For one of the weeks, I used an anchor book from her list of recommendations. It was If I Built a House by Chris Van Dusen and the kids absolutely loved it.
For EDUC 398, Curriculum & Instruction in Math and Science Using ADST, one of the requirements was to complete the first unit of the Math Minds online course.
For Educ 401 taught by Pam Kawinsky
My dream classroom is a cozy and inviting environment that encourages learning. To achieve this within a primary classroom, resources will be intentionally chosen for creating a classroom library, separate spaces within the room, along with resources that provide exposure to knowledge and inspiration for students.
