I HAVE ONE MORE CLASS SESION AND IM DONE!! :)
 
 
 
 
WOW! I cannot believe this is the last blog post, this class went by so fast! Which I am happy about because this is my last session EVER! This class was overall great! I learned so much about teaching Language Arts. Our unit plan was so helpful for me because next year in my student teaching; we look at the Missouri Learning Standards and make lessons for our students. So this is what we did for this unit, so I think it was very helpful for me.  
I also really enjoyed listening to everyone present their lesson plans to get different ideas on ideas for lessons for the future.
I loved how we did our discussions in this class (liked we talked about for a minute tonight). Being able to do them in class was great. They were also great for us to come up with ideas and to save for our future classrooms. I wish I could find a way to save all of our discussions from everyone to my computer so I could have them to look at in the future. I will just have to go through them again by next week and write done what I want to use in the future and save it to my computer :)
Overall, I think writing the 100 questions helped me a lot and made me think deeper the most. I want to be using DOKs more and doing this really helped me!
What was the most helpful thing we did in class for you?

Week 6: Books!

Below are 10 books I found that would help with my Unit or related to my unite. I think they all will be helpful for younger students and will be interesting to them.

This book has a lot of rhyming words in it. This will give a good idea to the students about changing beginning letter sounds. This picture came from Google images.

This book is about a silent e, I teach a lesson on this and thought this book would be good for the students to read. It gives examples of silent e words and shows how it works. This book. picture came from Amazon.
Thumbtacks, Earwax, Lipstick, Dipstick (Paperback). Image 1 of 1.
For some reason I couldn't get the picture bigger. The book is called Thumbtack, Earwax, Lipstick, Dipstick. It is a book about compound words. I am teaching a lesson during my unit about compound, so this book is a great resource. This picture of the book came from Target.com. 

Sight Word Safari  Reproducible Grade 1-9781419099564
This book is about sight words. It is not a simple reading book but have many different sight words to learn. Students can use this as a resource when leaning sight words (which I teach in my unit). This picture of the book came from hmhco.com.

Pete the Cat Phonics Box: Includes 12 Mini-books Featuring Short and Long Vowel Sounds
These Pete the Cat books include different short and long vowel words in them. Students love Pete the Cat, so these books will catch their attention and they will enjoy them while learning. This picture of the books came from Walmart.com.

Another cute book that has to do with rhyming and changing beginning sounds. I think it will help the students to see how to change letters ad make new words. This picture of the book came from Pinterest.

As in the books before would relate to girls these books would relate to boys. They are a lot like the last set about beginning sounds and just phonics in general. This picture of the book came from Google images.

I use to read these books all the time as kid. They have simple words for students to use and help them learn new words. These books would be good books to read and then write about. This picture came from aliexpress.com.
