Celebration of Learning

As a teacher you should try to celebrate when your students accomplish a hard or long task.  By celebrating the students and their learning you teach the students that the work they do is important.  As a group the teacher-candidates put together a post-test assessment.  After the students took the post-assessment we started the fun.  First, we created a Kahoot! for the students to do.  This helped us not only have a fun time, but it always help us assess the information the students could recall. The students love playing Kahoot!  It becomes a friendly competition between the students.  When we were done with the Kahoot! games the students were asked to pick some of their favorite topics we had learned about over the past three week.  As we talked as a group about the past three weeks students stated they liked creating the ThingLinks and the Glogster.  Then, the students created a google slide to thank the teacher-candidates.  At the end of the session, the teaching-candidates presented the amazing students of Bishop Dunn certificates of learning and presented Mrs. Perk with a year subscription to Glogster.  Looking back on this experiences has made me feel like I can handle more situations within a classroom.  Being thrown into a situations, teaching on my feet, and learning from others are three of the things I will take away from my fieldwork this year.
