Rainbow of emotions is self published book I created for EDLL. For our class we were required to write a children’s book of our choice. This was something I would have never done myself and to be honest dreaded. But once I got my idea and started creating my book I fell in love. I self wrote and illustrated it and I made it meaningful to myself and something that I would love to use in future classrooms. I absolutely love the way my book turned out and am extremely proud of it. It was definitely something out of my comfort zone but was worth it.
In our EDTL class we were asked to create a toolbox of everything we thought was important from that semester. This toolbox includes worksheets, assignments, ideas, classroom management tools and etc. I know this toolbox is something I will continually refer back to and add to as it will be an extremely helpful resource as a future educator. We also were allowed to look at other students toolboxes which allowed us to learn new ideas from one another which is exactly what teaching is all about. This toolbox will continue to grow as I gain more experience.
This is my first ever unit plan that i created and is something that I will use in my future classroom. This unit plan was created with a new school year in mind, and I wanted to focus on community and kindness within the classroom. This unit plan was created to be adapted to all grades if needed. Creating a classroom community is extremely important as all students should feel safe and welcomed. Creating a safe learning environment for students is important as is dissolves barriers for students. The lessons I created for this unit plan are very hands on and fun for the students so i cannot wait to teach this unit one day.
