The essay at left completed in my EDU1000 course refers to a Lesson Study based on a YouTube video named "China Through Mapping". The video features Mimi Norten, who is a teacher of second-grade students, teaching a lesson on the continents of the world.

The slides at the right are a project I completed in my EDU 1001. In this project, we had the opportunity to interview some of our teachers who had made a great impact on our lives. In addition, we asked a research question of our choice to learn more about our chosen topic with the teachers we know. These slides discuss Social Emotional Learning and how such practices has benefited one's classroom. 

The essay at right is a lesson study writing from my EDU 1001 course. In this essay, I explore the TPEs, strategies, and the ways in which the teacher guides and functions their class. This lesson study was based on a 4th/5th combo class at Ross Valley Charter School.

EDU3000: These observation notes are from Ross Valley Charter School. The Fourth/Fifth combination class, taught by Chris Lyons, focuses on indigenous cultures and explorers through artifacts. During this lesson, students become archeologists, examining placards, critically thinking about what they represent, and writing down their thoughts. Additionally, they read about the subject in their textbooks. At the end of the class, the teacher gathers the students for a discussion about their findings, which acts as a great closure to the lesson. This allows students to share their understanding and lets the teacher know where they need to focus more attention. These notes will help me incorporate effective strategies and methods used by the teacher in my future classroom.
