I'm a future elementary teacher. I'm looking forward to sharing teaching ideas and websites to help engage students in active learning. Check out the gadgets on the left along with the posts below. There should be something of interest for every subject.

My second grade class

I've gotten assigned to a second class at Woodrow Wilson Elementary here in Manhattan, Kansas. Today is the first day we get to meet our cooperating teacher and students. I'm excited and a little nervous. Today will mostly be an orientation session, but we will finish the day in the classroom where we will spend the last half of the semester. I will try to post a recap at the end of the day.

I've returned from day one helping in Mrs. Major's classroom. Our Block B unit will be teaching important landmarks and symbols from American history. 

It's amazing how quickly you bond with a classroom of students. They have great routines and a caring atmosphere that will make our jobs as practicum teachers much easier. As anxious as I was this morning, I can't wait to be back with the 2nd grade class tomorrow.

    Sounds like your going to fit in really well with your class. I was nervous as well the first day we went to the classrooms, but i was really glad we were able to go in the second day and get to know the students like you spoke about.

    Ken, I am at a loss as to what to say about your blog, so I have summed it up into 2 words.....It's Awesome! If only I had half the commitment to this as you did, I would have half the number of blog post. You are pretty much the main. You stay classy.
