Personal Narrative: My Classroom With My Els

I own learning was associated to reading the research papers of the other M.Ed. students, as well as through the summative evaluation done by my principal. Reading the very diverse research papers, I gain wonderful information of things I could (and will) implement in my classroom with my ELs. Some examples are related to the use of journaling for various learning opportunities, how big is the influence of motivation in relation to Hispanic males finishing high school, as well as the importance of analyzing prescribed curriculum in order to organize scaffolding activities that will assist ELs. The other learning was connected to the summative evaluation in which my principal mentioned things that I have done throughout the year. He was
referring to things that I take for granted as things that everyone does in regards to ELs. Well, my learning was when he mentioned that he was very aware that I would take into consideration the realities of the students and their needs when I organize and deliver my lessons, which is something he wants to see across the school.

One of the goals for the students this week is try their best during the standardized tests, as well as not stressing too much. The other goal is to work in the basics of poetry, since we decided to do a poetry slam activity in the following weeks. My own goal for the week is to organize start organizing (in the middle of the testing insanity) the spelling bee activity we will do in the school the week after the testing is done.
