One of my course requirements from Samford was creating a bulletin board as part of every unit of study. Well here are some examples of some hallway bulletin boards from when I served as spirit sponsor many moons ago. Now I cannot take credit for all of these photos, but I will tell you that most of the photos of the Dr. Seuss material, I have used in classrooms since I was the spirit sponsor.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I am a passionate person. I love teaching, and I love my students. I love working with students no matter the age or the ability. However, at the end of the day, my favorite thing is working with students to set goals, so at the end of the day I am a counselor, but if I could not be a counselor today, I would love to be in the classroom putting together lessons like these agains. Here are some snap shots from student teaching. The first graders put on a play based upon the book the Great Kapoke Tree. Mike was a trooper and came out and taught them a little drum ditty, and it turned out better than I could ever dream. It was a fantastic time and my favorite part was the book that the class gave me. To my understanding, it was the last print of the book at that time, and Mrs. Beasley had had it for quite sometime, and she was kind enough to give it to me.
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. |
