This week I observed Gina Gamble's learning targets for her Second Grade class. The targets are placed on her cabinets where they are easily accessible for all students to see. I noticed they were kid friendly and the verbiage was broken down for students to have further understanding of what they are trying to accomplish through the learning targets.

This morning I observed Lauren Long's 5th grade technology class. Before the students arrived, I went into the classroom and noticed her learning targets written on the board. The learning targets were clear, concise, and written in kid-friendly terms. When the students arrived to the computer classroom, Mrs. Long discussed the learning targets in the hall before students entered the classroom. I thought this was very effective because we all know how students like to touch the computers as soon as they walk into the room! Before allowing the students to enter the classroom, Mrs. Long had them summarize the learning targets to ensure understanding. Great job Lauren Long!

Ms. Harper had an amazing art lesson with a kindergarten class today. Her learning targets were clearly displayed. I can recognize and name shapes, visualize emotions and moods, and use supplies properly. The lesson clearly helped the children do all of these things. They created a collage based on the book Elmer in which they used shapes that she had them name and describe. The students communicated how their collage expressed feelings such as being surprised. She closed the lesson by having the students explain what they were able to do as described in the learning target. The students explained how they used the glue properly. Wonderful classroom environment! I enjoyed it very much.
