Finished With All Three Assignments

I am done. I have finished all three of the lesson plan assignments for this class and am looking forward to presenting tonight. The first one is a lesson for lower elementary level students on sorting basic geometric shapes. The video does a nice job of showing children how basic sorting is done. The second lesson teaches upper elementary level children about the layout and organization of a library media center, and in particular, about the importance of and how to use the Dewey Decimal System. The video from DE streaming for this is excellent. It is narrated by an enthusiastic librarian who describes all of the main sections of the library, explains the Dewey System, and explains how to use the computer catalog. The third assignment, and the one I am presenting tonight, teaches upper elementary level children the basics of geography. The video is hosted by two adorable children that learn about the Earth, oceans, continents, land forms, etc. I am looking forward to hearing what others have found to use for their lessons. I have learned a great deal in a very short amount of time in this course. I have already been applying what I have learned in my teaching and plan to continue to do so. Discovery Education Digital Streaming is a phenomenal tool to use in the classroom. I truly hope that our district purchases this for all of the schools.
