Introduction & 2 Truths & Lie

Hello Everyone,
 My name is Kayla Pool. I live in Versailles Missouri with my boyfriend, My two years old daughter name Chloe,  my fifteen-pound orange tabby cat, and My 10-year-old chocolate lab.  I’m currently work at a local daycare couple times week which allows me spend time with my daughter and watch her grow into a mean little girl with attitude. I'm excited to start my student teaching in the fall and  I will be in a first grade classroom. 


I’m a huge fan of all kinds of documentaries. My two favorites being about crime and history. I hope to one day have a chance to make one. I’m also a big fan of Harry Potter and I have a movie marathon about 2 to 3 times a month. My favorite movie of all time is Wall-E  I have only one hobby which I’m a big toy collector of all kind of toys new and old. I have over 400 Funko Pops of different movies and shows like Pokémon, Superheroes, Harry Potter, and so on.

    That is awesome that you get to work at the daycare your little girl goes to and watch her grow! I'm going to say that the lie is that you have been through only one hurricane. Something tells me growing up in Texas, ear the Gulf, you have seen more?

    I love the fact that you are a collector, so am I. I can believe that you have a YouTube channel because I do but I don't know which one is the lie. I will guess that it's the first one about living in Texas.

    Hmmm. I think you haven't lived in Texas. I do love the photos of your little girl! How cute! Kids are so cool, don't you think??

    That is one large cat! Haha! I know what you mean about having a mean little girl. Mine is only one and is quite the little monster, but you love them all the same. Im going to say the lie is that you have a YouTube channel but if its not I'd definitely like to hear some reviews and figure out some good toys for my little ones!

    Ok, your little girl is so cute (and I know about the 2 year old sass... mine is full of it! ha ha) I am going to guess the lie is about the hurricane. Also, if the youtube is for real then I am with Laura and I want to know some good toys!

Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan Design

     The Madeline Hunter lesson plan is a seven parts, that include objectives, standards, anticipatory set, teaching [input, modeling, and check for understanding], guided practice, closure, and independent practice. I find this plan easy to follow because it breaks it down into simple steps. There are several things I find difficult with this lesson plan design. The first being research- based strategies because I need to get more comfortable using then in my lesson. The next being extension and modification because I find it difficult to come up with them without having knowledge of the education level of students.  I know that it just takes practice when writing lesson plans, so I'm excited to get better at it. That is why I love these courses because I get a chance to learn new things.

Fun Ways to Teach Vocabulary

http://theteachaholic.blogspot.com/2012/03/word-catchers.html The first fun way to teach vocabulary is to do something called the word catchers. Where the teacher asked the student if they have heard any word catchers for today. The student must tell the teacher when/where they hear/saw the word and give the word in the context in which they encountered it. When the student uses a current or past word they get a reward. This would be a great tool to use to get students really excited to learn different vocab words. As we all know learning Vocabulary can be very boring. The second fun way to teach vocabulary is to have students draw the words to help them learn it. Drawing really helps students visualize the words being taught and helps them with comprehension. I think it important that teachers let the students be creative with their drawings and have them make a funny picture because this will make the vocabulary more meaningful when they get to have a little bit of fun....
