Here is a website, made by Pearson, the maker of the OAE that I think would be a great study guide for the Social Studies test that I have to take. I have been searching the web everywhere for a good study guide and finally found this one. What can be better than something made by the test makers!

Biography Unit
One my my biggest tasks I must overcome during student teaching is the edTPA. For the edTPA I must come up with a unit between 3-5 days long, I must record myself, show evidence of my students as well as assess my students learning.
I have decided to do my unit on biographies because that is the next unit that needs to be taught. My plan so far is to have students finish the poetry unit and begin the biography unit by writing a bio poem of themselves. I would then like to read a biography book to them and have the students then write a bio poem on the person talked about in the book. Next I would like to have students visit the library and choose a biography book to do their biography project on. The person needs to be someone interesting and new to the students. Once they have chosen their person I will give them a worksheet to help with the note taking process as well as a sheet to help them form paragraphs to discuss their person.
The project will be placed in a folder to show off the students work. I have found a wonderful website to show how I would like to create these folders.

Student Teaching
I am student teaching right now and absolutely enjoying it! The kids are so lovely and kind, the staff are the same. It truly has been an amazing experience.
We have had many snow days and two hour delays so I have also been having a rare experience.
Anyways, I thought it would be a good idea to write about my experience and the things I have learned so I wont forget it.

Spelling Words
I have recently taken on this task of choosing spelling words and giving homework and reminders for the spelling words. This will be my job here on out. So to help me out I have found a few useful websites.
