EXTRA CLASS EXTRA WORK EXTRA MARKS!!!!!

And so that how my day started before i could have even reach to my make up ATMOSPHERIC class at Valsyn.

Sometimes the unexpected happens which made me realize i needed to slow down.Before i could have reach class my uncle got a heart attack and i myself fell ill. Nevertheless i did attend class though late i was still able to understand the focus of the class based on weather system and disaster management and preparedness. The short interactive class i had allowed me to reflect on how prepared i was for a disaster and also educated me on the necessities during a disaster.

Dr.Babb release of our marks from our model and presentation was the high light for me of the class i was able to see and understand where my group feel short.Though we are still negotiating on a particular mark since one group member was missing it prepped us for our up coming presentation on Economic Geography.

The MindTraps were awesome and worked well i found as we had out of the boxing thinking to concluded some form of answer. I will certainly be using those MindTraps in my classroom.

It was a well worth fun class!!!!!!!!

Layers into the Atmosphere

PRESENTATION!!!!!! PRESENTATION!!!!!!!! PRESENTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS FINALLY HERE OUR HARD WORK

So after were back from Prac we were back to our busy assignment schedule and before we knew our final presentation was here. 

THE GREAT K KNIGHTS LAYERS IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Our presentation was on point we catered for divesed learners where we used colors visual and content to ensure our topic was well done.Our model was awesome it captured our audience and there was great feedback from our peers.

To get to our working model the creative process that our group undertook was first one of negotiation. We met in class and discussed several different themes for our presentation finally landing on one that most of us agreed we were knowledgeable of, and confident in our ability to present. We immediately started posting the major components of our presentation, slides, handout, outline of intersecting narratives, on a shared Google drive and, quite a few times, other group members would comment on the posting of the member who had originated the document or material. In addition to this process we met together, as an entire group, outside of class on two occasions evening during pour Prac which all lead to our final product.

CONGRATS TO OURSELVES!!!!!!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Prac Week 3

Third and Final Week!!!!!!!!!!!

My last week of Prac at Naps Boys was a most emotional one for both myself and my students
Though we would have had less time with each other whatever time spent both inside and outside the classroom allowed me to better understand my students and for they to better understand me.

This Prac thought me valuable lessons and allowed me to grow as an individual and as a teacher.Knowing your students is vital in the classroom because it aided a lot in the teaching of my lessons which by the third week i felt like i was now beginning to teach.The Third week even as a teacher i was motivated by our scholarship winners to never give up which i used to guide me through the week.The third week did not have as much activities so classes went well my lessons were all successful with great feed back coming from my supervisors.

The last day as stated before was an emotional one for both myself and my students and our cooperating teacher. I took the last opportunity to get feed back from my students on how the classes went, i treated my students which was appreciated alot and we shared some moments we had in the classroom for the past 3 weeks.

Nevertheless, I left Naparima College a better teacher and a better person than I was.

Prac Week 2

Life of  a Teacher

Week 2 of Prac4001 was more interesting as i have better and more frequent interaction with the gentlemen of Naparima College during this week.Though there was interruption, many did not stop the proceedings of class throughout the school

For my second week of Prac all 3 of my wonderful lecturers came to see and enjoy my teaching skills in the classroom. I was most happy with myself as well as my students who all worked together with me to accomplish the lesson set out.

The feedback from all 3 was amazing and the way i engaged my students, my use of multiple resources, being able to use both the classroom and technology, classroom discussions and most important both Dr.Rocke and Dr.Ellis commend me on my classroom management skills.

Along with my good comments from my lecturers i was allowed to relfect on my own teaching nd identify was worked well and good in my lesson, feedback also came from my peers who sat in my lesson which also helped me as i was able to get a number of reviews.

Along with my great feedback there were also some suggestion of things that i can use and incorporate into my teaching.The suggests came from my lecturers as well as my peers and even myself as i reflected i could have seen where i can use the same strategy but in a different way.

This week Prac was awesome and i really look forward to my last week.

PRAC WEEK 1

Hi hi!!!!

STRESS STRESS STRESS......

Its my first week at Prac 4001 and it did turn out to be quite and eventful week more than i expected. I am based at Naparima College where i am assigned to teach from forms 1 to 4. I am scheduled for 6 classes per week but as stated above my first week turn out to be eventful where classes were constantly disrupted due to on-going school activities.

The few lessons that was taught in the week turned out well and successful. My resources aided me in my teaching and the class activities engaged all my students ensuring that everyone was able to learn something.My handouts worked well in saving time and being able to complete my lessons successfully.

From my peers i did receive some feed back and this helped me to better shape my lessons, resources as well as activities.

I do look forward to my second week of teaching.

Welcome to my Blog!!!!!!!!
Last week I met the MET office 😊😊😊😊

Last week Thursday i had the opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable Meteorologist who was willing to aid me in understanding Synoptic charts created using and understanding weather patterns.
This class was well worth my time and effort as she took her time in helping and explain to me sometimes individually the symbols and readings of weather forecast.

This class helped me to better grasp the design of these charts and the creation of our own synoptic charts allowed me to actually put into practice that what taught in the class. This was and amazing experience something that as a teacher i will hope to xpose my students too in the future.
JOB WELL DONE TO MRS.ALI.

Kinetics Learners - I Like to Move it Move it !!!!!!!

Hello,
so i am at it again welcome back!!!

The name of my blog is " Kinetics Learners - I Like to Move it Move it" inspration from Dr.Babb class activity which really stood out to me as a teacher as well as a student.

Class began on a high note as usual but different we began with a short concept check where i had to pull all the information that i gathered in my brains over the past few weeks to define geographical terms all of which i did hear off, this concept check allowed me to reflect and really determine how much content i knew and how much i did not know.We were asked to compare and discus our answers with our fellow mates most of whom had different answers even though we are all in the same class and expose to the same reading materials. This way i was able to personally understand my misconceptions and fill in information that i may have over-looked during my discussion wit my partner.The marking of the concept check also remind me of how much more work i needed to put it.

This particular classed that was based on Planetary Winds was bit challenging for me as i felt so overwhelmed as the class continued to go more in depth.The break down and listing of the rules on how air  governed the world did help as a reminder through out the lesson as well as the creation of movements that we each had to come up wit did help reinforce the rules and make more sense to me personally since being a dancer movements is always easier for to remember and makes more sense to the explanation that matches it.

Also the videos that i looked at in classes always helped me to better understand the way the air works and how more so in understanding the dynamics of the Coriolis Effect which we also learned about.

Another great class activity was the group work which i looked at as a term building strategy and activity. K Knights was given DESERTS WINDS to research though we were time constricted and worked with only two members present we were still able to complete to requirements to the presentation and i felt personally proud as i found that we presented better than the first time we were given the opportunity which i did realize that our team building activity has been working for the better so far.And this personal improvement within my group has boosted me individually to continue to work hard.

CONGRATS K KNIGHTS!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
