Vocabulary Isn't Just A Word
Creating a prototype was a great way for me to see a nice visual of my new idea.
Vocabulary Isn't Just a Word
My Visuawords didn't show on my infographic page. So here is the picture.

I wanted to add so much to my problem of practice so I can build on the SFA program. I wanted to add a new creative way to build on the students' vocabulary words. It was nice to have a graphic organizer to help narrow my search. I started with the Coggle:

Next, I used the Prezi.com to work on the four main questions to help me pick a main point that I want to continue to work on for my classroom. I was successful at narrowing my search down to an area that will help me keep the students in the transformation phase of the SAMR model.

My Problem of Practice
Problem: How do I adapt my individualized
teaching style, build a personal connection, and engage the students by eliminating
the robotic feel this ridged reading curriculum leaves me feeling?
The SFA reading
program has a lot of positive aspects of build a cooperative learning classroom. The program works on reading fluency, Think–N-Connect,
write-on, meaningful sentences, reading and response, reading comprehension, and
adventures in writing. The student
praise, classroom cheers, and team points that applies student support. I would like to see more formative assessment
and classroom use of technology. With
this great system, I am frustrated and needing to feel a connection because I
feel this system is too robotic in its deliverance of lessons. I hope to find some adaptive methods or
techniques that I believe will support this curriculum and bridge my teaching
style.

My Family
I love my step-daughter, a step-son, and two boys of my own from the ages of 21 to 7. I would say that family is the most important thing on this earth and my husband is truly an amazing support. We take all of my extra time to spend with our children and at times this isn't easy since we all live in different towns and states. We love spending our family time in these areas hiking, basketball, bike riding, family game night, sledding, building Legos, and traveling to a new place on family vacations. We have our challenges of trying to get all of us together two times out of the year. However, we love Skype and other electronic devices to keep communication strong.
