Today we watched a video of a lady reading one of Patricia Polacco's book "Thank You Mr. Falker" I truly enjoyed the book because as a child I struggled with learning to read and was very nervous because I wasn't learning as fast as other children. I also did not like to read aloud because like Patricia in the book I stumbled over the words and had difficulty trying to read , but when I had to read aloud my reading just seemed to get worse because I was so nervous about what the students would say. I think this book is awesome to use in a classroom because it can help students see that sometimes everyone struggles and it is okay because eventually you will catch up and find your place. It also shows teachers to be aware of your students and learn to pay attention to their needs.
Next we took a trip to the curriculum library where we were able to learn about all the valuable resources we can use to help us with our studies. Tiffany was very helpful and informative while discussing the resources that are available for us to use.
To end the class we went to a computer lab upstairs from the library where we were able to discuss the expectations of what we will be doing during the course. I was glad that we went over blogging again because it has been a while since I have done a blog and I forgot how to use the blogging app
