Multiple Intelligences

When I took a multiple intelligence assessment test, I discovered that my three strongest intelligences are social (which is interesting since I'm quiet and don't care for group work), language, and musical. To encourage people with a high social intelligence score, team work is crucial. Some suggestions from the website to help these students are activities such as setting up interviews with family members (or other students, for that matter)and interviewing them, then writing down the answers; reading a dialogue or play with classmates; and doing team learning/projects. Group discussions would also benefit these students since they learn from interactions.

Placement Hours

For my placement at FSHS, I will be on the campus MWF from 8am-11am. At some point we plan for me to be there in the afternoon at least once a week as well because her students during the morning are library assistants instead of being a regularly styled classroom. That makes 9 hours a week, not counting the potential afternoon. I am admittedly worried about getting all of the hours in because of our late start and the two weeks that I'll be in Italy in April.

Where I'm From Photostory-- Completed!

Where I'm From Photostory

Where I'm From

I’m from wide, muddy rivers, and mountains so high,

That frame sunshiney days and a gorgeous starry night sky

From extended family, plus Dawsons and Erdies,

And going to school at the “Home of the Bees”

I’m from the peanut butter blossom cookies grandma likes to bake,

Plus the thick chocolate fudge Aunt Jenny told me how to make

I’m from watching the sunset come through my favorite tree,

From friends who came as strangers but became a second family

I’m from taking in stray cats I was never supposed to name,

And when everyone got together for the big East/West game

From the bus stop and roads hard to navigate in the snow,
And travelling around for "Warped Tour" and an anticipated screamo show

I'm from a family of two kids with an eight year age difference,
I feel bad for all the fights to which my mom has had to listen

I’m from sleepovers, music trips and Ninja Turtle nights,

And somehow never really learning how to ride a bike

I am from the “friendliest city” that you’ll ever see,

From the college church group where God became real to me

From home grown tomatoes and thick “Stanley sweet tea”,

And a land so wide open it’s hard not to feel free

Student Interest Survey

Lately we've been talking about the power in letting students participate in choosing materials for class, and sometimes a big part of that is a Student Interest Survey. We were supposed to locate a Student Interest Survey that pertained to our subject area-- in my case Journalism or School Library Media. In the vein of library science, Scholastic's website had an area about how to sustain classroom libraries. This site had a link to a student interest survey in hopes of helping teachers discover what types of books their students want to read.
