Analysis Of The Tiny Seed By Eric Carle

1823 Words8 Pages

I observed that Kim aided in comprehension when asking questions in her read-alouds, creating post-reading activities and fostering discussion about book events. Kim used the book, The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, asked open-ended questions and created book-based activities throughout the two days I observed. State Senator Marc C. Panepinto facilitated comprehension when he read the book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and discussed the events that took place with the children. He asked questions that allowed the children to connect the book to their own backgrounds (ex. Have you ever been really hungry?). This was great as students could understand the story better and how the Caterpillar was feeling throughout the entire story.

Teachers are often reluctant to teach writing because they think children are not capable to write before the memorization of sight-words; or called the “reading-first” approach (Shea, 2011, pg. 9). However, writing and reading development advance at the same time- it is essential for writing and reading incorporation in the early classroom. Even if these initial forms of writing are through drawings, children are still on their way to writing (Shea, 2011, pg. 63). Implementing this principle in the classroom would allow for opportunities for children to complete both writing and reading …show more content…

This principle connects very well to the term digigogy, a new digital pedagogy. Michael Fisher (2013) states, “Where pedagogy is about methods to instruct, digigogy is about those methods, but with a technological frame. Digigogy is…the future of instruction” (para. 1). This modern digital pedagogy places emphasis on the digital tools that help students succeed in the classroom. This form of incorporation of technology is very important for our 21st century world. In today’s classrooms, there is a slow shift occurring that focuses more on learning through technology. As new technologies are invented and introduced to help students learn, current learning theories, pedagogy and digigogy will need to change in order to meet the needs of students. Teachers also need to make sure they keep up-to-date on modern day technologies so that their student’s can have every opportunity to learn

It is stated in the article that “…balanced literacy can get more kids learning to read and write well while logic, experience, and evidence suggest otherwise…” I beg to differ with this distrustful claim. Thus, learning to read and write is not enough to foster critical thinking and lifelong learning. Reading is not only about familiarizing oneself with grammar. It is more of the pure apprehension of the reading material’s content. Writing, on the other hand, is based on outcomes.

Teacher technology support within the XYZ school district is essential to integrate available technology tools into the curriculum effectively (Helms, 2014).

With greatest indication from third and fourth grade teachers who have shown evidence that these standards are being implemented more consistently through the delivery of more project based, inquiry based instruction in these classrooms. It is clear that kindergarten through second grade teachers are struggling with the implementing writing into the curriculum as reflected in principal and Instructional Coaches’ observational notes and logs. Teachers in all grades kindergarten through fourth are in considerable need of training and proper implementation of high quality literacy centers that can pinpoint specific skill deficits for students in the area of Reading Language Arts and quality centers that promote writing across the curriculum. Teachers also need to be using data more efficiently to drive their classroom instruction and create differentiated instruction for those students who are in need of

Assessment Reflection When administrating the Reading Interest Inventory (Mariotti, n.d.), the Motivations to Read Profile Survey and asking the Conversational Survey Questions (Pitcher, et al., 2007), it gave insight to how Hailey felt about herself as a learner. The questions that stood out in my mind, is how I can help Hailey to be more success in the classroom as well as become a stronger reader overtime? I would like to look more in depth in Hailey’s comprehension skills and provide her educational strategies that will help Hailey to grow in her reading comprehension and give her some tools to help herself when she is having trouble. I am interested to see how Hailey reads orally, and to check her reading accuracy and fluency. Are these areas that are impacting Hailey as a learner as well?

Reading is an essential life skill. The ultimate goal of reading is to comprehend and make meaningful connections with text. Therefore, the development of skills needed for reading begins at an early age and progresses through stages into adulthood (Chall, 1996). Within the early stages of reading development, children begin learning and acquiring these specific skills. Moreover, many of the skills learned during early childhood are constrained skills.

Since some schools are more open to the idea of intertwining technology with learning, some factors should be considered before transitioning. Before integrating technology into curriculums, schools should consider possible addiction that students may acquire, lack of skills and short attention spans that may result from technological exposure, as well as the positive potential that technology has- like easy access. In the end schools should focus on both the negative and the positive side to rule out which one outweighs the other. Being exposed to technology at first can have an exciting effect on the user, overtime this can lead to addiction. Younger generations especially, can easily get captured by the contents on their computer as most of them “prefer picture to words” (Source E).

Literature Review “Children know how to learn in more ways than we know how to teach them.” —Ronald Edmonds (1991) Each child learns in a different way, therefore if teachers are mainly focused on instructing the majority auditory/visual learners; the students who have different learning styles needs aren’t being met, which results in lack of basic skills moving forward. The idea of one instructional strategy fitting all is creating a void in classrooms; which in turn is failing to help those students struggling the most. Campbell, Helf, and Cooke, (2008) suggests a reason for some students’ ongoing lack of achievements that, “too often, students are instructed indirectly, watching and listening to the teacher or other students with little or no opportunity to actually read” (p. 268).

The First 10 minutes, the teacher gives them a handout for all the students in the classroom from (All-Star Programme) with colour. I didn 't like that students with special needs had their own solitary table in the general education classroom and doesn 't engage them with the other students when they colour. The last 30 minutes, the general education teacher and all students sit in a circle, then the teacher read the story. I like this part, because everyone is holding the other student

Last but not least, technology is also helpful because it benefits educated people. This is a true fact because students can use online resources as a learning aid, and teachers can use different software and presentations to teach. For example, “technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways” (). Another example of technology helping educated people is, “its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could
