Resource reflection

To make my curated resources a regular part of my planning I would do several things. I would keep them in a close spot on my desk so that when I am doing my planning I can look through them to find ones that work for the lesson. I would also have a spot in the classroom where I could post a couple resources a week for students to look at and give me their input as to if they like the source or if it is boring. I would also have the students help me find sources if I don't have any for a lesson.

Reflection #4

I would incorporate mastery into my classroom to increase motivation. I would do this offering various rewards when my students master a topic. If they mastered their multiplication facts they would be rewarded with a certificate that says they have mastered their multiplication facts along with moving them on to try and master division facts. If my students mastered their spelling words each week they would get a sticker on their spelling chart followed by lunch with the teacher once they mastered 8 weeks of spelling words.
