Monday:
On Monday we took notes on Bloom's Taxonomy. This pyramid helps you ask questions on assesments by different levels. After learning all of the level we got in to small groups and picked children's book. We read them and made up questions for each stage of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Tuesday:
On Tuesday we read other groups children's books and answered the test questions based on Bloom's Taxonomy. We categorized words that our questions began with (who, what, when, how, etc.) into the different levels of the pyramid. We also received a lesson plan template and discussed some activites that we can do with our kids that related to Bloom's high levels of Taxonomy.
Wednesday:
On Wednesday we all met in Miss Quinn's room at Mauldin Elementary at 8:30. Miss Quinn and Mr. Parker went over classroom procedures and lesson plans for elementary school aged children. We talked about how class organization was key to having a successful classroom.
Thursday:
On Thursday we did activites to learn about different cooperative learning techniques. For jigsaw we got into small groups determined by numbers we randomly picked and read articles. After we read them we all got into groups based on colors and we told our group members about the articles we just read, this way everyone in the class knew about every groups article. This was called numbered heads. Next was pairs check where we got into pairs and Mrs. Turner asked us questions and we wrote them on the white board and the number she called held up the board. For think, pair, share we took a partner test and then compared answers with the pairs next to us. If we both got the same answers we assumed they were right and if they were wrong we discussed why. For neighbors you can do many different things, you can turn to your partner and say one thing you learned today, your favorite thing you learned today, etc.
Friday:
On Friday Mrs. Mumford stopped by and observed our class. We got into groups and shared our ideas we made up for the different cooperative learning techniques. After that we did an activity called inner-outer circle. Some people got into a circle with their backs turned and then the rest of us surrounded them so that we were face to face. We told each other our names and where we were from, then we switched partners and we told each other different things to get to know each other. This activity was fun and it was nice to learn more things about people.
The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.
