Week 1

Hello!
My name is Ruzana Tadzhibayev but I simply go by Rose. I live in Columbia Missouri with my family.  I have a 4 year old boy named Konstantine and am in a fresh new relationship after a nasty divorce. I am an refugee immigrant from Uzbekistan and moved to the U.S. as a toddler. I am fluent in Russian. I love to garden, sing, read, go camping, hiking, swimming, anything outdoors...
I have my A.A.S in Early Care and Education and my B.A in Psychology and Minor Education. I currently own and operate my own in-home childcare center for 5 years now and I really love being able to teach and still be my own boss. I want to get my M.A.T. in Teaching so that I can eventually teach elementary. I love all age groups but I chose 1st grade. I hope this class with teach me more about reading and comprehension; as well as how to teach reading. I am excited to participate in Field Experience and looking forward to learning with and from all of you!

    It's nice to meet you Rose! Do you have any early memories from when you were a toddler in Russia or did you leave too early?

      Thank you Carrie!Great to meet you too! I don't really have any memories that are clear. Everything I remember was guided by stories from my parents. I came to the States right after my 3ed birthday. I wish I did!

    I Rose, 1st grade is a struggle for me! I have been subbing full time this past school year, and have had the opportunity to teach pre-k-12th grade. I think my "sweet spot" in teaching is 3rd-5th grade. I really like kids that age! Good luck to ya!

      I currently teach preschool between 3-5 so my experience with 1st graders was highly enjoyable. I felt that the children were more prepared that the age group I work with now. I enjoyed the older grades too but the 1st graders just grabbed my heart! :)

Week 5

I was really not understanding DOK's until class on Monday. I think I was really able to grasp it after we practiced within our groups. I was definitely not doing anything like that for my first 4 lessons! So I'll be spending a lot more time trying to use those verbs in questions towards the students- not as objectives. Glad we went over that! So my lesson 5 will be titled Plant Probing. I'm not completely done with it yet but it will be for first grade. The students will compare and contrast plant and tree "stems" using a venn diagram. We will observe celery stalks, bark and small log, plant stems, and other plant material. There is a lot of vocabulary . We will organize and categorize what we can or can not eat. And then I want to incorporate technology into the lesson for independent practice but haven't finished yet. I'm open for ideas! My lesson 6 is titled. Communities. I have no yet started this lesson however I want to meet a civic's Socia...
