During my lessons, the students were respectful and listened to me. Throughout my
ACB experience, I taught small group guided reading lessons. After my all about me
lesson, I hung the class puzzle we created in the hallway to display the students’ work.
After my anti-bullying lesson, I displayed the student’s work on the classroom door. I
used the book A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon. During the lesson, the
students decorated lima beans with something about themselves that they embrace.
During my EdTPA math reteach lesson, the students individually solved problems on
their whiteboards and then showed their final answer to me. I was aware of student
learning needs and differentiated my lesson plans to accommodate them. All of the
students showed enthusiasm for school as they entered the classroom in the morning.
They were always glad to see me and excited to start the day.

on their own to research their flower. On the last day of the science unit, the students
and parents played an online jeopardy game against each other. I developed a rubric to
grade the plant project displays that the students created during the plant unit. The plant
unit was interdisciplinary and incorporrated language arts, mathematics, social studies,
and arts. The incorporration of multiple subjects into my lessons addressed multiple
intelligences.
Guiding Principle #3- Demonstrating a Commitmant to All Learners
My anti-bullying lesson asked the students to embrace their own differences and their
classmates differences. I often incorrporated a song into my lesson for students who are
auditory or kinesthetic learners. The students were encouraged to sing along or dance
to the songs.
For the culminating activity of the plant unit, parents were invited into the classroom. A
letter was sent home explaining what the students had been learning throughout the
unit. The letter also invited the parents to visit the classroom and asked for them to
RSVP.
