Teacher Portfolio

Take a look at my teacher portfolio! Last semester (Fall 2017), I spent a majority of my time working on this portfolio for my Ed Tech and Design class. This class allowed me to take a closer look at some of the details and work that goes into creating lessons and being able to use technology to do so. We used a lot of technology based learning, and it allowed me to see different ways to communicate with other educators around me. the first page is all about me and why I want to become an educator! It has some great ideas for a thematic unit, web quest, and even some interactive learning tools. Visit this link to explore my portfolio.

Arts Integration- Hudson Elementary #3

This lesson was dealing with integrating dance and movement into the lesson plan to get the students up and active. So many times now in schools, it's becoming more and more important to get students up and moving and engaged with various movement activities. We took this into our own hands and made sure we were planning a lesson with dance and still relating it to Earth Day! The we first read a book to the students: It's Earth Day! by Mercer Mayer . This book has a main character who learns about Earth Day in school, and wants to do something to save the polar bears. He starts by unplugging the computer and turning off the lights, then turns off the water when you aren't using it. He also plants trees and made signs to help make people more aware to reduce, reuse, and recycle. In the end, he finds that just by doing all of these things can help! Even if his climate control ma

The Leader in Me Conference

I went to the Leader in Me conference on Saturday April 7th. This conference lasted from 8am-12pm and had a lot of great information to go along with it. We started the conference in one of the bigger lecture halls in Schindler, with about 100 people at the conference. There were students from UNI, Wartburg, and a few from Hawkeye Community College along with elementary school students from St.Edwards Catholic School, Orchard Hill Elementary, and Lou Henry. They had students between the ages of 2nd grade and 5th grade represented from these three schools to give presentations about each of the 7 Habits.
