I learned about teachable moments when I was in my first few days as a student teacher. During my time student teaching I was lucky enough to complete two units, one was on explorers. I had it in my head that my students were going to complete a bulletin board for me to hang up in the hallway, and that would knock out my bulletin board requirement and performance assessment all at one time. I had a wake up call about ten minutes into the lesson. Notice my surprise. The students in this group actually created a canoe, complete with Native American "carvings" and ores. I never dreamed that this would occur when I put markers in their hands and said make something. I guess when they started asking for the tape I should have known they were up to something.

Kelli MuncherWife, mother, teacher, and counselor. There are not enough words to describe myself. My online portfolio has transformed to a series of blogs that have helped to outline my varied career. I am vested in my students throughout my time at my school, and I believe that my experience keeps me and everyone around me on my toes. Archives
