This video is probably the funniest thing I have seen (for an educational purpose) on you-tube ever! media type="youtube" key="uZfRaWAtBVg?fs=1" height="405" width="660" I am currently placed in a first grade classroom at Pleasant View Elementary. I spend about four hours a week in the class, assisting the students as well as the teacher. media type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=Pleasant+View+Elementary+School,+4501+Pleasant+Grove+Rd,+Lansing,+Ingham,+Michigan+48910-5097&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.23349,79.013672&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FZxhiwId3GH1-g&split=0&hq=&hnear=Pleasant+View+Elementary+School,+4501+Pleasant+Grove+Rd,+Lansing,+Michigan+48910-5097&ll=42.688924,-84.581924&spn=0.001767,0.004823&t=h&z=14&output=embed" width="425" height="350" Here is the satellite picture of the school and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Over the next couple of weeks I am planning a lesson plan about the five senses for 28 first graders in my class. Here is a You-Tube Video I feel I could use as part of the lesson for them. I like it because it is age appropriate and has a very catchy tune. media type="youtube" key="Ipb0sEwpWjo?fs=1" height="385" width="480"

Pleasant View Elementary School is one of the only magnet schools in the Lansing district. They pride on their visual and preforming arts programs. Since they are unable to focus on Science and Social Studies issues as much it is very important to be able to integrate subjects as much as possible. Here is the science GLCE's for the first grade classroom. By reviewing this document, it will help teachers take note of all the main points for the science requirements. The five senses are one of the first GLCE's in the PDF. I will be able to fulfill this requirement and hopefully make a fun lesson for the students to enjoy. Here is page 6 of the document reviewing over the five senses requirement. media type="custom" key="7083171"

When I first found out I was placed at a Magnet School, my reaction was... " What exactly is a magnet school?" After doing a quick google search, the website buzzle.com was very helpful to me. media type="custom" key="7083181" Here is a document explaining the excitement the Pleasant View has recently been having over their 5th National Magnet award. media type="custom" key="7083107"

I am very excited to work with my classroom teacher and her students. So far they seem to really enjoy having MSU students in the classroom. They already know my name and seem to be very comfortable with me in their class.
