            En este ensayo muy breve, voy a comparar, contrastar y analizar dos artículos de El Diario.  Se llaman Exindocumentados generan capital y Una reforma migratoria justa y clara.  También, voy a hablar un poco sobre mi…

Reflexión

Hacer esta traducción fue un poco más difícil que la primera. Es una traducción de una entrevista con un hablante nativo del español. Por eso, el entrevistado (o en este caso, la entrevistada) usa lenguaje informal y coloquial. El lenguaje coloquial, en mi opinión, es más difícil traducir que el lenguaje formal. Así que, tenía que revisar la traducción unas veces antes de llegar a un producto más…

¡Asombrosamente, me gusta mucho traducir una entrevista! En mi opinión, era más interesante que traducir un anuncio comercial porque es más personal y puedo aprender algo nuevo de una persona interesante. También, me interesan mucho las autores de libros de niños. Ana Juan es una persona fascinante porque ella escribe libros, pero ella pintar y dibujar también. Esta entrevista era muy fácil a traducir, en mi opinión, porque la entrevista original estaba destinado a niños. En general,…

Each week we will have food demonstrations on Friday prepared by the students.  Part of the assignment will be to post the recipe on this blog, So that if anyone would like to try the recipe at home they can find it on here. I will also post our weekly plans so if parents wish they can see what we are studying or even try some of the recipes we've created! Also I welcome the parents to suggest recipes for us to try. 

Thank you lets hope for a fun filled yummy…

How Teachers can introduce Amazing People to Students…

         Al principio de la visita,  cuando llegue al aula Sra. Gillette me preguntó sobre mi falta de ausencia. Le respondí que era mis vacaciones de primavera. Aparentemente, ella olvidó que no iba a estar en clase la semana pasada. Le describí que hacía en mi tiempo libro. La conversación fue perfecta. Para una vez, no tuve problemas con hablando. Siento que cada vez crezco fuerte y cómoda con mis habilidades. Les dije a la clase que estaba en carolina del sur visitando con mi familia y…

Para hoy el artículo que he elegido, demuestra que hay esperanza para la comunidad latina.  Hay noticia súper beneficial para los hispanos jóvenes dentro de Los Estados Unidos. Según La Voz, una noticia local de Kentucky se refleja que finalmente, Los Sueños tendrá alivio de sus preocupaciones sobre sus futuros. Obama ha declarado que todos los jóvenes latinos indocumentados de las edades 15-30 tendrán la oportunidad solicitar para ayuda financiera para continuar sus educación después de…

Welcome to my blog page! I have set this blog up so that you (the parent) and I (the teacher) can communicate with each other about what is going on in the classroom. You can send me information or questions about your child and I can let you know what we are working on or upcoming field trips and activities.  If you have any questions feel free to let me know! I am very excited to get started teaching your child new and interesting things!!

Durante esta visita Karen y yo hicimos pulseras  con los niños. Usamos cáñamos y cuentas para hacerlas.  Karen me enseñó como hacer las pulseras. Después de aprender yo estaba lista para enseñar a los niños. Tuvimos que organizar el cáñamo de colores diferentes y ayudar a los niños erigir cuentas. Yo di instrucciones y aminé a los niños. Después de la actividad limpiamos el aula.

Mis interacciones durante la visita incluye interacciones con los niños, Karen y Carolina la directora de…

Parents, 

    Welcome. Feel free to comment and ask any questions that you would like. I will be keeping you updated throughout the year. So keep checking and stay informed!

So, I think that creating a blog for a classroom would be a great idea. This way teachers and parents can communicate online at their convenience. Also, a blog would be a great way to report what is being worked on and covered in class. This would help get the parents involved and even the students.

Hey parents and students! Now that we have spent a week talking about the needs of animals, now we will spend time talking about the basic needs of plants. For example: plants need air, water, and light. We are going to grow some of our very own plants!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf0OZIsRJ0E Here is a silly little youtube video about an animal that is trying to find something to eat. Even though it's a silly video, try to strike a conversation with your child about how the animal has to find food for himself so that he doesn't go hungry. Go over the basic needs of most animals: air, water, food, shelter. In class we will do a fun activity with learning the basic needs of most…

Students and Parents!

This is what our first grade class will be learning about for the month of March: Characteristics and Interactions of Living Organisms. We will get the chance to do hands on activities that help us understand more about both plants and animals. In the next posts, parents, be looking for lessons that you can already be working on with their children. This will only help when we talk about these topics in class, if you have already discussed them at home.

Today, I went and visited my school. I am so excited that I will get to be doing my student teaching in Mrs. D's Classroom. Mrs. D teaches 6th Grade Communication, along with 7th and 8th Grade Science! This is so exciting! I have forgotten most of my science (embarrassingly true), so the fact that this is going to make me remember allot more will be SO AWESOME!!! 

I noticed the watchful guidance of the teachers, and the staff as I walked up to the office - this tells me that although…

This blog would be used to contact parents. I would post on here things that are happening in the classroom as well as notes that should have been brought home and opportunities for parents to be involved in their child's learning.

I would like to use this blog to communicate with parents the different events going on in my classroom.  One potential blog might be information about an upcoming field trip.  All of the parents connected to my blog could have a look at my original post and then have the opportunity to post their own questions.  I think some parents might feel more comfortable with this type of communication than coming into the school.  In any situation, I want to keep the parents informed about what their…

Join me tomorrow ... Thursday 21 March 2012 ... at a friendly time for Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia/New Zealand [sorry the Americas you'll be sleeping].

4:00pm Bangkok time

I'll be leading an hour [in the Australia Webinar series] when we'll be looking at some of the 1,500 Apps on my iPad and also where you'll have an opportunity to share some of yours. I'll specifically be addressing some of the classroom management issues and Apps that may make students/teachers…

So I think that this is a great way to communicate with parents and other teachers. Expressing thoughts and feeling about things happening in the class room. Post to can be made to let parents know what is going on throughout the year, and the parents could even post there own activities or ideas they do at home for the kids!
