Five different pieces of media to further explain who I am as a teacher candidate.
The students in my Kindergarten practicum class performing some beats with their wooden spoons. I feel so proud listening to this audio, knowing that my students had never touched the wooden spoons before I taught them how to play them that day. This lesson is one I am very proud of because it not only taught students about Metis heritage, it also involved a lot of hands-on learning. The youngest group of female hockey players I coach playing a Christmas-themed relay I created for them. I loved this game because I made it with my own two hands and an idea I had. It was so exciting seeing how much fun the girls had playing it. This is a photo of the very first lesson I ever taught in a classroom! It was in a Kindergarten classroom and was an ELA lesson surrounding the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and the students learned about their names and the letters that make up each of their names. I am very proud of this lesson because it incorporated hands-on learning and art, while also teaching students important ELA skills. I am very excited to see my growth in the future, using these first lessons as reflections and learning opportunities.
The group of female officials chosen to officiate the U18 Female BC Championships. I was honoured to have been a part of this group and this picture demonstrates my drive to achieve my goals. I have been a hockey official for ten years and have dedicated many weekends to not only help further the female game but also to develop my skills at higher levels. These skills will serve me well throughout my career as an educator.
This video is a short video showcasing a few of the recycling games I created during my job at the RDEK. These activities were set up during farmers’ markets and kids’ camps for students to test their knowledge of recycling while playing a fun game. I am proud of these games because I planned and made them with my own hands and it was so fulfilling watching students enjoy them throughout the summer.
