First Days Project

     Way back a year ago, I took one of my final college courses before starting my Student Teaching semester last fall. The course was titled Classroom Management and we education majors were required to create a display revolving around the "First Days of School" theme. I randomly chose third grade, since it was my go-to grade level when writing lesson plans, and I called my hypothetical students Shining Stars. Until recently, I had forgotten about some unique things I created in this PowerPoint presentation, most notably my Classroom Creed. 

     The Creed was a set of rules I had created for a previous assignment, but this time around I wanted the classroom rules to be more than just written expectations. I wanted them to mean something, so I rearranged the rules into a simple creed which still means something to me, even after a year of revising it. I truly feel that one day, if given the opportunity to be blessed with a classroom and students to care for, I will hang this very creed on my wall! Well, the thought of my Creed sparked an interest in capturing some of the PowerPoint slides from the project and share them on this blog. Therefore, feel free to view the following images, especially my Classroom Creed!
