Learning how to improve pictures in class was very helpful. I love playing with digital pictures, and this was a really easy program to use which was great. This is a picture of my sisters and I.

Lesson Plan

For my lesson plan I started out browsing through the younger grades like kindergarten and first grade. After looking through them I was reminded of a lesson plan that I actually used to teach a math lesson plan to a third grade class during our practicum. After deciding I wanted to use a third grade class, fractions, and a previously used lesson plan, I looked through the third grade math lesson plans on UEN and also combined some of the information I found on the kindergarten lesson plans as well.

Today's Students

I skipped this topic and so now I am backtracking! In class we learned about students of today, and it was really interesting to watch the video, because there was information in it that was shocking to me. I couldn't believe how it explained that our nation's education for students is slipping. For example when it said that only half of our students will even graduate high school. This was a real eye opener!

UEN

The UEN website was way cool. I found lots of good resources on this website. As I was just searching around I was thinking how great it is to have all these ideas to help with lesson plans so you don't have to spend too much time racking your brain to create your lesson plans. Also it is good because it helps to get you brainstorming more easily to create your own lesson's combined with their ideas!

About Me...

Well first of all this class is perfect for me because I am not good with using new technology! As you all well know it has been difficult to get into my blog page! Well....I grew up in Ferron pretty much my whole life. Besides that I lived in Clawson but that is not much of a town for those of you that know Emery County! I enjoy dancing, scrapbooking, camping, fishing, 4-wheeling, and pretty much anything outdoors. I like to do things with my boyfriend so I have had to brush up on some skills such as shooting guns and golfing(which I might add is a killer on your body when you swing wrong and you're out of shape). I tried moving away to Logan to attend classes, but I just cant find to leave my small town girl behind, so I came right back. That is way I am so thankful we can continue our education through the Utah State Extension. I completed my associates through CEU, and now hope to finish my teaching degree through USU! That's a little about me!

Struggling with my blog...

So I have had nothing but issues with this whole blogging thing. The only way this has been made possible is thanks to Carli! I am hoping to play around and figure out how to do things with my blog!
