Germ Cover

In Photoshop we designed our own germ cover to put on our hand sanitizer spray. I was surprised how easy it was to make and a lot of fun. I think this was a great idea to do and it made hand sanitizer spray look a lot more appealing and fun.

Form--All About Me

I found this form to be very easy and fun to create. I didn't know that in powerpoint you can make your own forms. All you do it select a blank page and then change the size and orientation of the paper to what you want. After that you just use the shapes and text boxes to create what you want your form to look like and it's nice that you can drag pictures anywhere you want them to be. 

Word Cloud

I found word cloud to be very user friendly all you have to do is hit create and then type in what words you want on it. The more times a word is on there the bigger the word will be. This is the word cloud that I created. I think this would be a fun activity to have your students do or for you to do.

Poster's For Classrooms

Making posters for your classroom is actually a lot easier then I thought. I just went to the website and picked a background and typed in what I wanted it to say and then added some pictures to it. I think the kids would also really enjoy making their own posters for some kind of project or something.

Practicum

I am in a fifth grade classroom at Horace Elementary School. Some things that I have learned and observed are how to get the classes attention when they are being loud are the teacher is trying to introduce something new to them. One thing that my teacher does is he raises his hand when they want them to be quiet. It has seemed to work every well with his class because they see him or another student raising their hand so then soon everyone is raising their hand and their mouths are shut. The role is very different being on the teacher side rather then the student side because you see things that the students don't always see. I like that the students aren't afraid to ask me questions. I like being able to help the students out with any questions that they have. I like being more in the teacher position then the student position because the students look up to me.

Snow

Snow in October: This morning on October 4,2012 I woke up to snow on the ground outside my window. I was hoping that it wouldn't snow until Christmas time, or like last year it didn't really snow until after winter break. I don't mind snow but I do mind the cold. The bright side is that the snow is pretty much all melted and next weekend it is supposed to be 65 degree so luckily we are not jumping into winter yet.
