Monday in class we discussed a learning
environment and being a part of a team and really make an classroom environment
that makes them feel important and apart of and I truly agree with the whole
idea. The best way to make not only children with special needs but also all
children feel included is to create a friendly welcoming environment where they
can come and feel welcome, loved, and excited to be there. In class we talked
about some ideas about how we can go about doing this and there were so many
great ideas! Some of them that I really liked is at the beginning of the school
year have the students help you create the rules and once finished have them
sign it so it is their own personal contract with you. When I was younger
something that my teachers did was "Star" of the week where everyone
wrote something nice about you and you get to present some information about
yourself during the class (with your poster going on the board for a week).
Make sure to post their work or pictures of the class just so they know that
they belong. Another thing I believe will help is make your class individual so
there are things that stand out that give your class an identity and your
students something to tell others that they are happy to be a part of. On Wednesday
we mainly discussed part 1 to the final and we were able to meet as a group and
really work on the assignment and I do have to say that after all of the
information that we have learned throughout the class I feel a lot more
confident working on this test compared to the midterm. After the information
that we gained and all of the assignments that we were able to experience this
semester I feel a lot more confident going on in my education to prepare to
teach my own classroom. I really enjoyed this class and all of the learning and
insights that we gained and I will truly miss attending this class.
