After attending St. Mary’s Fall
Conference, and meeting with some fellow first grade teachers, I was inspired
to try some new things in my classroom.
First, is a new way of teaching handwriting to my kids. And the second is a way to incorporate math
tubs into my classroom. I am excited to
incorporate both these new ideas and even brought them back and shared them
with my grade level.
I feel this process supported all
of the AGAPE principles. It supported
Association because it was a collaborative learning relationship that allowed
for learning with one another. It
supported Generativity because it was an opportunity to build knowledge
together. Adaptation was supported by
creativity, collaborative problem solving and critical thinking. Presence and Engagement were supported by
togetherness and a fully engaged learning experience that focused on acceptance
and openness.
Overall, this process was a great
learning experience and a way to connect with others from similar grade
levels. We were able to brainstorm issues
and come up with new ideas for our classrooms.
