Thing 3: Blogs in My Future

I can use blogs in my teacher education program to reflect on my teaching experiences. I can create a blog about my field experiences in the classroom. In this blog I could write about the tips I learn from my mentor teacher on teaching students.


In my future classroom I can use blogs to show case students creativity with art and stories.  Also, I could ask students to create their own blogs to provide their own ideas and reaction about class work and projects. Most of these ideas would be great for higher elementary and middle school students.

Thing 2: Creating a Blog and an Avatar

I decided my posting name to just be Michelle.  I named my blog 23 Things Michelle Weiser because that is what my blog is about.


My experience in creating this blog was hard at first, but once I finished reading the instructions it turned out to be pretty easy! After reading the instructions I was about to create a template and post my first blog.


My avatar looks close to what I look like. Which does reflect my personality. I have long brown naturally curl hair and I always try to smile! I am known for my curl hair by my friends. My avatar has a yellow shirt and black pants. Yellow is my favorite color and black looks good with yellow.

Thing 1: 7 & 1/2 Habits

The easiest habit out of the 7 & 1/2 is Play. I have a two year old daughter, Addison.  She always want to to play and have me read books to her. Then I would have to say Teach and Mentor Others. Why want to become an educator if you do not want to teach or enjoy teaching. When I was a child, I would play teacher with my younger sister and brother. They would be my students and I would try to teach them how to add and subtract. It was hard to teach them  since my sister was four years younger then me and my brother is five years younger then me.


The hardest habit out of the 7 & 1/2 is View Problems as a Challenge. Sometimes when problems happen I get stresses out and then it seems like more problems start. Problems occur in my life on a dayly basis. I am an army wife, mother, and a student. This habit would be a great habit to have and I am going to start adding it into my life hopefully to have less stress.
