My cooperating teacher not only knew but focused on the importance of getting a child ready for their future grades and classes. Her goal was to prepare her classes for future schooling but do so in an interesting and fun way. My second field artifact was a Doctor Seuss hat that was used as a story organizer. The kids had been reading many Dr. Seuss books and had gotten a good feel for the type of books they were. After going through many different books, my teacher asked the students to write a Dr. Seuss book themselves. To get the kids in the Dr. Seuss spirit she made a Dr. Seuss hat into their thought organizer. She drew a big picture of the hat and told the students to fill it out by putting in their ideas of what they would like to include in their own personal Dr. Seuss story.
I picked this as my field artifact because it can be changed to fit any type of story or book and is useful in organizing a paper. This can help begin a child’s brainstorming skills and give them a general idea of how to bring all of their ideas together, to form a paper. This is a great tool to use, not only to keep the kids interested in their task at hand, but to also spark their young minds to generate creative ideas.
