My Learning DNA

My Multiple Intelligences

I will be responding to Mrs. Kallas blog about our learning DNA. I am very interpersonal. I like being around people, I don't really life when I'm by myself. I like working with people and getting people excited for what is coming up. I think that is why the spirit group at Birdville High School fits my personality so well.  My personality is also very intrapersonal tho, I like being by myself and thinking out loud. When I am home alone, I like being by myself and just taking time to get my brain a break and just rest.

My Learning Preferences (Dunn and Dunn)

I really like having music going while I am working because if I sit in silence, I get tired and I don't want to do my work. Music keeps me motivated to keep going and to get my work done because I'm not paying attention to anything else. The way I am sitting to do my work or the environment I am while I'm doing my work affects me also. I have to sit on the floor or on my bed most of the time while doing my work.

My Learning Styles

I learn better by listening and watching someone do and explain something. I don't really like doing hands on activities because then I feel like I'm not learning as well. Listening to someone talk about it helps me a lot because then I can think through it and put it in my own words and understand it in a way that I know I will be able to complete the task. I also like watching someone do it because then after they do it, I can try to do it myself and if I do it wrong then, they can walk me through it and show me in an easier way.

My Gallup Significant Themes

1. Strategic- If I made a decision, I have to think about how it will affect me in the future. I don't want to do something that isn't going to help me grow in the future

2. Includer- I don't like when people are excluded from the group, I like everyone to feel apart of the group and be include in discussions and choices in the group. 

3. Deliberative- I don't like everyone knows what is going on in my life if it affects me a lot, I want to keep it to myself. I don't want people to feel bad for me. I want to take care of it myself. 

4. Adaptability- I make choice that I think will make my future better. 

5. Developer- I think everyone has the opportunity to change and to grow as a person. I always see the best in people.

My Classroom Rules

In this blog, I will be responding to Mrs. Kallas's blog. To see what I will be talk about, please click here.

Last week, we watched a movie called The Ron Clark movie, Mr. Clark takes a difficult group of kids and chances their lives. He has all these crazy rules and at first, the kids thing they are really pointless but, by the end of the movie, they change into this wonderful group of kids because they start following the rules. I think rules are important to follow because you see people or children that don't follow rules and you think how different life could be if you didn't follow rules.

Classrooms can become very out of control when you have a difficult group of kids. Rules help things not be so rough when it comes to controlling the environment of the classroom. When you have rules, the classroom runs better because the children are aware of there being conscious if they don't follow the rules.

When I see classrooms that do not follow rules, children just do what they want because they know they won't get in trouble and I think that is a very bad habit to have when you get older because you have to follow rules for a job or whatever you plan to do with your life so, if you don't have rules that you have to follow when you're younger, when you get older, it will be harder to start following rules because you aren't use to it.

Here below is a screenshot of my future classroom rules.

Ron Clark has an school called "The Ron Clark Academy". It is a non-profit middle school, housed in a renovated red brick warehouse located in southeast Atlanta, Georgia. If you would like to know more or learn more about his school, please click here.
