I started running Cross Country in High School. In cross country, our meets consisted of running a 5k (3.1 miles). After High School, I began running in local area 5k's (Road Races). Not only did this keep me in shape, but it was something that I loved to do. I even finally Ran my first HALF-MARATHON in March 2012. After this half-marathon, I ran a few road races. However, due to the amount of stress and no free time from my last 2 semesters of the Education program that included Student Teaching, "running" got put on the "back-burner." With the majority of road races coming up soon, I am determined to get back into running shape this year and add more "awards" to my display. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>This post will show my DIY running wall from many different inspirations from several pinterest pins. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>I am currently in the process of remodeling (painting, flooring,etc..) my entire room. So I had to take down my previously "decorated" award wall. Before the current display, I had all of my running pictures and bibs (that I had kept) stapled/taped to the wall. around the bibs and pictures, I would hang my medals on medium sized tacks. After browsing pinterest the past few years, I have always been interested in the "award/bib display boards" that people make. I took a variation of ideas and incorporated them for my wall. </b></span><br />

I have went through many of the awana ranks. I started off helping occasionally as a student leader/helper, then I became an official leader (signing off on memorized verses, assisting when needed, etc..). After being a leader for 2 years, I took the place of our SPARKS secretary, where my role was to record the verses the clubbers recited in my records, put them in the computer, and award the clubbers their (wings, jewels, emblems)[note; awana awards are "similar" to patches in boy/girl scouts]. Last year, our Sparks Director stepped down after I believe almost 10+ years of service. I stepped up and took over the responsibility. So now I am going on my 2nd year as a director. The director's job is to help run the club for your group. You must make executive decisions, help your leaders, plan the bible story for your group, etc...).

Don'tcha love it?? At the school that I am completing Student Teaching we have loads of technology from Smartboards, IPADS (1 for each teacher), and even "TeachLogic" sound system. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>NOW TO THE LESSON......</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: blue;">AS you know, I picked up my writing block FIRST for student teaching. AS the weeks have progressed, I have struggled to find new ideas!! I came across TEACHHUB video responses: </span><a href="http://www.teachhub.com/video-writing-prompts" style="color: blue;" target="_blank">teachhub site</a><span style="color: blue;">. The site has videos (some trailers, some songs, etc...) for the students to respond to after watching. I have tried to use 1 a week (once I found the site). </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Now going back to the prologue.....As you know, technology can be your friend one minute and hate you the next....with the new sound system our school got placed in each classroom, It is often hard to hear video clips, due to the humming noise! So on Tuesday afternoon (the day before the teach-hub lesson), I decided to test it out. Come to find out, the video wasn't in it's normal place! Something must have been wrong with the site. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">SO being the resourceful teacher that I am, I tried to check all of the "video" sites to find the "monsters' inc. trailer." Since the video is not listed under "education," YOUTUBE would not pull it up, and had a block (via; our school). So I checked teachertube, and schooltube, NOTHING. </span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>BUT THEN..............................</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>I had a fantastic Idea! Since we had read a snippet of "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" from our Anthology book (for problem and solution) the day before, I attempted to find that trailer. When I typed it into schooltube, I found these collections of gems, and I KNEW that my students would LOVE THEM!!! Thank you to Allisa Bruce for the idea found here: <a href="http://www.schooltube.com/video/e192d4628b1236f42a9f/Weather%20Presentation" target="_blank">Cloudy Video </a>. So around 4:00, I got BUSY!!! I rapidly typed up a short little prompt, ran to the copy room to make the copies for the next day, got some bulletin board paper to wrap around the podium (news desk), </b></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>But.....THIS blog post is all about the groundhog. During the week before groundhog day, my master teacher and I completed many activities. As you know, writing was the first subject I picked up. I have tried REALLY hard to find something new and interesting to incorporate each week, so the students do not get bored. The easiest solution comes when a week has a holiday! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>During the week, my master teacher had the students complete a "Yes/No prediction" of groundhog day. The students were given a small groundhog to color, and they would add it to the chart of yes or no. THEN we tallied the results. Many believed the groundhog would not see his shadow, so we told them to wait and see :)! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>(Results: The Pennsylvania groundhog did not see his shadow, however OUR ATLANTA BEAU LEE, did see his shadow [great teachable moment of sun shinning in different places around the world]). </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>To incorporate this into my writing lesson, I read the students two poems. I let them vote on which poem they would rather have. The majority chose this poem from DLTK: </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>"I see a little ground hog, furry and round, he's coming up to look all around, if he sees his shadow down he'll go. Six more weeks of winter, Oh no!" ....</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Since Mr. Haggard displayed the poem on the smartboard, he expected capital letters and punctuations!! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The students were told to WRITE first, then they would be able to get a groundhog craft template found here at DLTK:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/mpapergroundhog.htm" target="_blank">Ground Hog Template </a></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Materials</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>--Brads (brass tack thingys ;) )!<br />--Ground Hog Template<br />--Hole Punch</b></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions: </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1. To begin, the students had to copy the poem off of the smart board.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2. The students were given the ground hog template, (body, head, feet, arms, hole). THE students were told to not worry with the feet, since they would have been covered up by the POEM. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>3. The students were told to color everything but the "hole" and "feet. Once they did this, they could cut it out!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>4. After cutting, the students were supposed to glue the head to the body and top of their writing prompt to the lower body of the ground hog. Then glue the "February 2nd" (optional) sign to one of the hands. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>5. The teacher would then punch holes in the body/arm and attach it by a brad, to give it that moving property. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

I have completed several writing prompts, creative ideas, etc... with my students. The week before Martin Luther King Day, I looked around for many different pinterest pins/blogs/etc... for a very cute MLK Creative Art/Writing Activity. Thanks to the teacher at this blog, for inspiring me and giving me this cute idea:<br /><a href="http://foxwellforest.blogspot.com/search/label/Martin%20Luther%20King%20Jr." target="_blank">Awesome Teacher Blog </a></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Materials Needed: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: purple;">-</span><span style="color: #274e13;">Brown Construction Paper</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">-Manilla/tan colored construction paper</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>-Long Construction paper </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>-Heart Dicuts </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>-Writing Prompt </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>To begin my lesson, I discussed Martin Luther King with my first graders a little more. This gave them an appropriate understanding. This is the social studies content our first grade teachers chose to focus on that week, so the students already had some background knowledge. I explained there are many things that we would LOVE to help change for the better for OTHERS (not just ourselves). For example: "Some students bring sad attitudes to school everyday.......I HAVE A DREAM THAT ALL STUDENTS WOULD COME TO SCHOOL EXCITED TO LEARN EVERYDAY!" </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I gave my students the procedural directions for the next step AFTER writing, these will be found further down. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>I sent my friends on their way to writing, while checking/helping with SOME spelling, making sure there were capitals, punctuation marks, and all that jazz! When my students were done writing, and it was approved by my master teacher, the coteacher, or me THEN THEY SHOULD: </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1. Go to the back table and get 1 piece of long construction paper (black), 1 brown construction paper, 1 tan paper, and 1 heart dicut (and outline) with the words "I have a dream" wrote on it. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2. The student took these items back to their desk, and traced their hands/wrist on the brown and tan construction paper. (NOTE: you often learn after your first time of implementing something, that children may have a hard time seeing their lines on the brown paper, so you may want to trace it in marker). </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>3. The students would then cut out their arm/hands as well as any excess from their writing prompt.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>4. Next the students were required to glue their writing prompt to the top of the long paper FIRST!!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>5. Then the students should glue their arms/hand in the bottom corners of the long paper, overlapping the fingers of the hand. In the middle of the hands, the students will glue their "I have a dream" heart dicut. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>6. Let these dry....we all have these students (my self sometimes included; can't be a hypocrite) who overload their cuttings with TOO much glue, or place it on the paper in the wrong spot, and the glue smears :)!!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>Welcome back to my blog! I hope you enjoy the new design! As stated, this past semester (fall 2012), I was placed in a 4th grade practicum. This was my last practicum before I start student teaching in January. As a Field Experience assignment for our Social Studies class, we were required to teach a 1-day lesson in the field of Social Studies! I was allowed to teach on the Boston Tea Party/Son's of Liberty!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>For my very first tax, the colonist had to PAY me 3 beads to buy my graphic organizer!!</b></span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>For my next tax, I noticed several students were using mechanical pencils.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: purple;">For the third tax, I asked the students if the graphic organizer was hard? They said, "Yes!" I allowed everyone to work together (for a price of course). [</span><span style="color: red;">During this time, I had 2 students who were thrown into jail, since they were unable to pay the tax, when completing this, you should make some of your taxes high in order to put some of your students in jail. Mean? Yes! But this is a learning experience, so you want your students to experience this scenario]. </span></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">FOR MY FINAL TAX, I had M&M fun sized packs to give to the students. BUT obviously only those who could afford it, could receive it. First I asked the students, "Who likes Chocolate?" Everyone responded "I DO!" I explained that I know that they do, so this tax is going to be the HIGHEST TAX (10 beads). I explained this scenario was similar to the TEA TAX that the colonist faced. TEA was a great commodity of the colonist, like chocolate is to most children. Sometimes the tax on the tea was too expensive for the colonist, and they could not afford to buy it legally. </span><span style="color: purple;">In the end, I obviously gave all of my students a pack of M&M's for participating. </span></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: purple;">Many of my students asked afterwards, "Why were you sooo mean to us?" I responded, "Think about it, you people are the colonist/patriots. You want to get away from all of my laws and oppose me, while my loyalist are people, who have stayed true to my rulings. I am obviously going to favor this group of people over the other group. If someone doesn't do what you want, there is a tendency to not "like" that person, especially if they want to get rid of you. </span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #38761d;">For my Independent practice, I had the students fill out the following Ticket out the Door. While my students did a great job of stating their opinions/point of view and taking a stance, they didn't quite grasp, what I was asking. </span><span style="color: purple;">For example: Some students who took the stance of the King stated, "I would be the king. If I were the king I would be nice to the colonist, and I would not make them pay me all of those taxes." </span><span style="color: magenta;">While I loved they were at least writing their opinions, I would have preferred them to state something similar to: "If I were the King, I would have punished the colonist harshly. It costs a lot of money to export my tea, and they just threw it overboard! This is ridiculous........</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I would choose the view point of the loyalist. If I saw the colonist throwing the Tea overboard, I would do everything possible to get rid of them. I am supposed to be defending the KING. If he finds out I let these Patriots get rid of his tea, he is going to MAD!!! He will probably have my head for this mistake!! </span></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> It has definitely been a while since my LAST post. Before I discuss my most recent set of lessons, I thought I would bring you up to speed. Over the summer, my classmates and I were required to take 4 classes; 2 online math classes, and Language Arts/PE for educators. After our last class in late July, we were given our EXCITING STUDENT TEACHING PLACEMENTS FOR SPRING 2013!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT :)</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">It is required, that we attend all of our school's pre-planning days, as well as the first week of school. I am joined with another one of my classmates at Irwin. I loved my first two weeks with my mentor teacher and students. I learned soooo much in that 1 1/2 week time!! I have never witnessed "the script" before, that you learn and read about in Dr. Wong's <i>First Days of School.</i> Every opportunity that I've</span></b></span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> had to observe has come AFTER the first month or so of school. </span></b><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: magenta;"> During the pre-planning time, I was able to assist and help my teacher in the preparation of her room. I made first week of school copies for the whole 1st grade, and definitely felt a part of the school atmosphere</span>! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u style="color: #274e13; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">LOVE IT!!!!!</u><span style="color: #274e13;">...</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">I also believe that I have gained many Collegial relationships. </span></span><strike><br /></strike></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span></span></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b> The best apart of opening experiences for me, had to be "MEET THE PARENT" night. During this day, I was able to meet many parents, whose children I would be teaching in the spring. This experience made me feel OLD! The parent of one students was my teacher in High School!!!! It was awesome being introduced and seeing students' reactions for the first time. I hope this feeling never goes away, as I hopefully plan MY future classroom one day!! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b> AFTER "Opening Experiences" were over, I had to return to take 5 more classes with my Co-hort program, as well as complete 1 more set of practicums. With this set of practicums, I was placed in a 4th grade classroom at Irwin County (2 lesson plans to come in the next 2 blog post). I finished the semester on a HIGH NOTE, and I am now ready to join my first graders in January. </b></span><br />

If you keep up with my Blogs, please say a prayer for me and my classmates, as this is one of the last stops in our educational journey, before we're certified. Please enjoy a look into my student teaching classroom. I hope to be able to continue blogging during student teaching, so that you can get a "Look into my Road to Student Teaching." </u></i></span></b></span><br />

The following is my unit on Animals and their offspring!! Once completed, I may add my groups thematic unit! This is a Kindergarten Field Placement! My students are planning a trip to one of the local Zoo's in a few weeks, so it was nice to learn about baby animals.</strong></span><br />

<div>
<b><u>Day 1</u></b></div>
<b>ANIMAL'S BABIES LOOK LIKE THEIR PARENTS</b><br />
<br />
<strong>On day 1 we discussed how animal babies look like their parents........</strong><br />
<strong>To introduce the Lesson, I read: </strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lpnXL-7LWVg/T1lQNxT53TI/AAAAAAAAAFI/WwhLHb_mnrU/s1600/Hug+Hug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lpnXL-7LWVg/T1lQNxT53TI/AAAAAAAAAFI/WwhLHb_mnrU/s1600/Hug+Hug.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>When finished, I asked the students if the baby animals in the book looked like their parents? We discussed the ways that baby animals looked like their parents, and how we sometimes look like our parents.</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>Once we discussed several examples of animals looking like their parents, I showed a power point featuring my parents (and myself), and a few baby animals and their parents. </strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong>At the end of the lesson, the students got a white piece of paper. On the paper, they had to draw and color a picture of an animal and their baby. Since we discussed that Offspring look like their parents, the students' animals should look alike (except Height, because most of the time baby animals are smaller than their parents).</strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<strong>Here is Mr. Haggard's Example:</strong></div>

<b>DAY 2</b></div>
<div>
<b>_______</b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">On Day 2, We discussed special names that we give to baby animals and their parents!! </span></b><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">I began by reading Eric Carle's <em>Baby Animals. </em>An interactive book!</span></strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h25rj2Ul3vc/T1z2ZOsBDyI/AAAAAAAAAFc/G0aCoJomDqc/s1600/ericcarle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h25rj2Ul3vc/T1z2ZOsBDyI/AAAAAAAAAFc/G0aCoJomDqc/s320/ericcarle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">This story has the names of [one of the parents] and their baby name. After reading the story, I informed the students that we would only be learning about the baby animals's names, although Adults have names as well.....(due to the fact of a certain "Pet animal's" parent name! [dog]).</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">I showed the class a power point featuring 23 different animals from 4 different places (Farm,Home,Zoo,Woods).</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">During Some pictures, we went more in detail.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Examples:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">**Cubs---Bear Cubs and Lion Cubs........Baby animals can have the same names, JUST LIKE we have the same name with other people...."There is more than 1 Bob in the world" </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">**Platypus---Phineous and Ferb reference, and that platypi are actually venomous. Platypus babies are called PUGGLES, like the Awana Program, which has a PUGGLE as their MASCOT.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">***A Goose has a LONG neck, while a duck has a SHORT NECK.......The WORD GOOSE makes a LONG SOUND...."G-(EWW)SE, while duck makes a Short sound.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">***Depending on your class, you may want to make other examples that relate to THEM.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">-</span></strong></div>
<div>
<b><u><span style="color: #38761d;">AFTER THE POWERPPOINT, </span></u></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">We discussed some of the animals we talked about.......</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Then the students had to take their artwork from the previous day, and Label it (I stapled a sticky note to the paper).</span></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Above the Line the students wrote the ANIMAL NAME (ie; DOG) below the line the students write the baby name (ie; PUPPY). If the students drew an animal that WAS NOT in the powerpoint, then I had a "Animal Dictionary" of animals from Enchanted Learning's website.</span></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">WE hung the pictures out in the hallway at the end of the lesson for the other Kindergartners to see!! I also added a "header poster" with the GPS on it! </span></strong></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Note:***In the following pictures, some animals names are spelled incorrectly, but this is KINDERGARTEN. they are only working on phonemes (sounds) that they hear!!!! </span></b></div>
<div>
<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">SEVERAL STUDENTS ALSO DID THE SAME THING.......A lot of students drew Pigs/Piglets like Mr. Haggard (from the previous day)....I did have some students show different creativity though :)!</span></strong></div>

<b> D</b><b>AY 3</b></div>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">On Day 3, We took what we learned the day before and applied it to an activity. We pretended that we were on a Safari and visited the places from the previous day! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">To start the lesson, I incorporated another piece of literature.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">"Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?" by; Eric Carle </span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nszj3swi5MQ/T2zyPZ69FMI/AAAAAAAAAGc/QTHUuqPd-_o/s1600/270203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nszj3swi5MQ/T2zyPZ69FMI/AAAAAAAAAGc/QTHUuqPd-_o/s320/270203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Once I read the book, I explained the activity to the students......We were going on a Safari (or train/jeep ride to see animals), each of them would have their own, special envelopes [the envelopes had the students' names on them]. We would be making different stops (Zoo, Farm, Woods, Pets). At each stop there would be an animal who was missing their baby. The babies are in the students' envelopes. The student would then come up to the board, and place their baby with its mama. They would also identify the special name of the baby animal. Before each stop, the students turned their chairs facing the board, and we pretended we were making the "train" move. Mr. Haggard was the conductor of this trip :)! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">The animal parents were pre-glued on 4 different posters. 1 poster for each spot.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>DAY 4</b></div>
<div>
<b>GUESS WHO, BABY ANIMAL</b><br />
<b>-<span style="color: magenta;">On This Day, </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Students played a GUESS WHO animal game. Each student got a turn wearing a BLUE GLITTER VISOR. During each students turn, the teacher paper clipped an animal to the top of the visor. The teacher walked the students around to each table, for students to give them clues (does it hop, fly, swim, run, etc.... do they have fur, feathers etc....). The student wearing the visor has to guess their animal and/or animal baby name :)! </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">The students also completed a worksheet on this day from a pre-k workbook that included matching baby animals to their parents. </span></b></div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
<b>DAY 5</b></div>
<div>
<b>SHOW AND TELL STUFFED ANIMAL.</b><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">On this day, the students brought in a stuffed animal or plastic toy, to share with the class. I asked the students numerous questions. What type of animal is it? What does it do? what's its babies name? etc.... If the students didn't bring in a toy, then they were allowed to talk about their favorite animal, or a pet from home :)!!! </span></div>
