Kevin did his Amanda Bean 3rd grade math presentation on Multiplication or Addition? Here is the page out of the book. I love the book. I love that it shows a girl who loves Math. Girls need more encouragement in the area of math. Writing lesson plans takes a lot of time. Sometimes, I do like to use ideas and change some elements to make them new. However, if I have the time, I like writing new lesson plans. It helps me grow. I learn so much when researching the topic. I plan on using the lesson plans that I write in my classroom.

Rachel did her presentation titled, Flamingo Teamwork for 1st/2nd Grade LA. I thought is was clever that she used a Scholastic News article for this. They are great short articles. The cover captures students attention. She used an anticipation chart and circle map. I liked that she had 4 standards. I noticed that she had 3 objectives which was because two of the standards matched. She included first and second grade learning standards. I liked that she choice a relevant topic on teamwork. That is a great skill that we all need.

Lesli Hendrix did an amazing presentation for 9th grade English, titled, "Identifying Literary Elements: On the Street Bleeding by Evan Hunter." It was a good lesson for "at risk" youth. I think the story line would draw them in. I loved her slides and I took some pictures. I liked how she brought out the point of view and perspective. There are times I wish I was going for middle or high school English Lit.
