The read aloud with Ms. Myers was very engaging for the students. I liked that she sat in a rocking chair and had the children sit on the mats below her. The entire class seemed comfortable. All of the children paid attention and were able to follow along and see the book. She began by telling them who the author was and that is a very important step. I liked it when Ms. Myers had them use a "shoulder partner". This made the children pay attention so that they had something to share with the other classmate. She brought them back to the story just by simply counting down from five. This showed me that she has great management skills as a teacher. The student respect her and know how she runs the classroom. This makes each lesson easier. She made many facial expressions and her voice was nice to listen to. I think that she stopped at all of the right times so that the students could answer questions and make connections. She discussed vocabulary and told the students the characteristics of a good reader. This will help the children improve while they read a book by themselves. She let the class make predictions, see the problem of the story, and figure out the solution. She covered a lot of material with one short picture book. It was interesting to be able to see and hear the students response to the story. I learned a lot from this video and I plan to use these methods in my own classroom.
