Today I learned that Lynn from Canada is a fabulous teacher. I wondered how I could incorporate a type of research like this with my kindergarteners. The solution I came up with is to create a K-W-L chart about a topic students are interested in learning about. My students could only handle about twenty minutes a day, but after a couple of weeks, they would probably have a good understanding of what they are learning.
As far as teacher efficacy, I believe that I personally am better at teaching the content areas that I like. I think I need to try harder to teach math concepts, since I am not that comfortable with it.
Also, I really enjoyed the writing activity we did this morning. Pam's was awesome!!

I know what you mean about efficacy in certain areas. I HATE science, but when the students had to write letters to next year's incoming fourth graders, they talked about how much Mrs. Gillilan likes Science and does fun stuff. I guess I fooled them!!
