Welcome to my Blog. I am a FHSU Virtual student and studing Elementry Education and I will get a minor in Special Education. I am creating this blog as part of my Intro in to online learning class and I figured I might as well use it for something grand. I will use this as a place to store great ideas for teaching that I can use in the future. If you have any ideas please leave them as well. I hope this site helps all who want to use it.

COOKING WITH KIDS
I have a notebook started with ideas from Mrs. Krause. I was a Para in her room last year and learned a lot and I wish I could just be her shadow for the next few years. The most exciting thing I watched her do that the kids loved was every Friday for snack they got to cook. Nothing fancy but the kids loved it. The food was related to the letter of the week. So for G they got to make garbage cans, with some dead bugs (raisins), dried turtle shells (peanuts), twigs and sticks (pretzels), broken rainbows (mini M&Ms), and cotton balls (marshmallows). This was one of their snacks and it was fun for them to make. Another was ants on a log which was a stick of celery with peanut butter and raisins.
I know that observing great teachers will help me make a great foundation for my education.

But in my searching for this I found all sorts of awesome teaching sites I have to share!

(This is a blog site I created for another class last semester and I used it some lately to find good educational web pages. )
I think blogging is a great idea to get a feel of how the class is doing and what they are learning. I plan on teaching 1-3 grade so I don't think that the blogging by students would be that useful. I could see maybe a teacher blogging for the students to read and or parents. But I personally would prefer to do a publication like a newsletter. I think that sometimes parents are too busy to take the time to read on the internet. As a parent myself I would rather sit down with my child and go through their bookbag and see what all they brought home. I go through it with my daughter and she gets to tell me about the papers and what they did, and then we also go through her preschool newsletter together and as I read something the teacher is telling us about she is excited to tell me even more. It like newsletters and it gives the parents a way to start conversations with their child that does not involve grades, tests, or homework. This is just a way to talk about things they are doing at school. So for me I don't think blogging would work too well. But I do see a great use for it in JH and Highschool classes.
