After following your blog this semester, I really liked how you used writing, even during the more hands on lesson. Keeping the students interested in the subject area (which you talked about during your science lesson) is critical in increasing literacy.
Roxanna, Similar to so many of us, I think that throughout the semester, you have continued to expound upon the need to give students an active role in their education. I think that through your lesson plans, you found ways to introduce the lesson and keep the students involved through some great techniques and to think for themselves. Way to go!
I liked your points this semester about teaching students how to think. In addition, I liked your continued encouragement to use available technological resources.
This semster, your incorporation of different media such as magazine and the internet are ones stdents can really relate to. Also I thought your use of student opinion can be very important and foster ownership in the classroom.
Strong, sensitive, nurturing and caring all describe this graduate student and single mother of three Roxanna Brooks. Currently, I am a candidate in the Masters program at Coppin State University in pursuit of my Masters of Arts in Teaching degree. Obtaining my degree in teaching will fulfill a desire I have had of becoming a teacher since I was in elementary School. One of my favorite elementary school teachers was my second grade teacher Miss Margaret Thornton. Miss Thornton was an excellent teacher who made it her personal mission that each one of her students was able to read above their current grade level and with comprehension after leaving her class. Miss Thornton is the type of teacher that I have always wanted to become because she went above and beyond her duties to ensure that her students were successful. It is my hope that this class experience will equip me with the tools and resources so that I too will be able to exhibit those same standards of excellent in my classroom.
