1. Where did Mrs. DeWhitt go? Tuesday I was at Jackson Elementary School and today I am at Lincoln Street Elementary. This is part of my internship to become an administrator. I will be here Monday and Wednesday of next week-don’t forget that we have preschool on Wednesday! Please take this opportunity to practice your leadership skills-in no way should the success or failure of this class depend on the substitute. In this class, we are all leaders and we must exercise that leadership now! Do you want to have fun? Make the following activities fun-they really are!

2. Child’s World-Intelligences Today’s Classroom Leaders are: Period 1: Shalyn, Wendy, and Madeline Period 2: Megan, Sarah, and Michelle These students will be leading the class and will be making sure we are all working together to meet our goals. Please remember that this class is learning about how to be leaders and teachers. You should support the leader and make sure that you are fully involved in the class. During our last class, the games were listed and the reason I heard for not playing them was, “The substitute didn’t make us.” Please turn this around and be the leaders in the classroom. YOU make sure things get done

3. Period 1 Period 2 Freeze Tag led by Aisling, Dana, and MaddieUltimate Tag led by Sarah and Emma Sharks and Minnows led by AlyssaStatue led by Alexis, Justina, and Jordyn Bean Bag Toss led by Adrian and MiguelRed Light/Green Light led by Kamryn, De’ja’ne, Maria Kick the Can led by eli, Julissa, and AnaSharks and Minnows led by Haley I. and Cerena Hide and Seek led by Brenda and AlexaParachute led by Jackie and Maddy Mr. Wolf led by Haley and Ashley BSimon Says led by Katie and Taylor Job #1 Play Games Leaders for the day will videotape the games and everyone playing with the ipad-have fun, but take your jobs seriously as the class. If it’s raining and your game needs to be played outside, play under the covered walkway to the cafeteria.

4. Instructions for the next activity 1.Everyone must tape a “human intelligence hunt” paper into their journals. 2.The class leaders will say “Go” before anyone starts on the “hunt” 3.You must look for people who can do an item on the list and be willing to sign it. If they sign it, they MUST be willing to demonstrate for the class. 4.No one can sign the paper more than once. 5.You may not sign your own paper. 6.You may have four minutes to try to get all of the activities signed. 7.EVERYONE MUST PARTICIPATE!

5. Human Intelligence Hunt Find someone who can NameWhat to find Hum something by Mozart (music smart) Do a simple dance step (body smart) Recite four lines from a poem (word smart) Explain why the sky is blue (logic smart) Briefly share a recent dream (self smart) Draw a picture of a horse (spatial/picture smart) Honestly say he/she is relaxed and comfortable relating to other people during this exercise (people smart) Name five different types of birds (or trees) that are found in the immediate area (Nature smart) :

6. Classroom Leaders-you’re up again! Randomly call on 8 different students to tell us who signed one of the eight statements in the “hunt.” Whoever signed their paper for that item, must get up and demonstrate their talent. If this isn’t fun-you’re doing it wrong!

7. Write and finish the following sentences in your journals (10 min.-please give these some serious thought!) What type of learner are you? Many times our own childhood plays a role in the way we teach. We need an awareness of our own learning styles to learn more about ourselves as teachers. When I was a child, my favorite activities and hobbies outside of school were: My favorite teacher was….because…. As a child, I always felt I was intelligent in the following ways: As a child, I didn’t feel intelligent in the following areas: School would have been better for me if…:

8. Class Leaders, if time remains, have eight people who haven’t been in front of the class read one of these intelligences out loud (Make sure the whole class can hear!). Class, each one of you should try to decide which intelligences you possess. While the reading is going on, write your thoughts on each intelligence in your journal. We will take a fun test on Monday to determine what our real intelligences are. Logical-mathematical This area has to do with logic, abstractions, reasoning and numbers. While it is often assumed that those with this intelligence naturally excel in mathematics, chess, computer programming and other logical or numerical activities, a more accurate definition places less emphasis on traditional mathematical ability and more on reasoning capabilities, recognizing abstract patterns, scientific thinking and investigation and the ability to perform complex calculations. Spatial This area deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the mind's eye. Careers which suit those with this type of intelligence include artists, designers and architects. A spatial person is also good with puzzles. [citation needed].citation needed

9. Linguistic This area has to do with words, spoken or written. People with high verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and by discussing and debating about what they have learned. [citation needed] Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. [citation needed Bodily-kinesthetic The core elements of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are control of one's bodily motions and the capacity to handle objects skillfully (206). Gardner elaborates to say that this intelligence also includes a sense of timing, a clear sense of the goal of a physical action, along with the ability to train responses so they become like reflexes.kinesthetic In theory, people who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should learn better by involving muscular movement (e.g. getting up and moving around into the learning experience), and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance. They may enjoy acting or performing, and in general they are good at building and making things. They often learn best by doing something physically, rather than by reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory – they remember things through their body such as verbal memory.verbal memory Careers that suit those with this intelligence include: athletes, pilots, dancers, musicians, actors, surgeons, doctors, builders, police officers, and soldiers. Although these careers can be duplicated through virtual simulation, they will not produce the actual physical learning that is needed in this intelligence. [8]

10. Musical This area has to do with sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. People with a high musical intelligence normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. Language skills are typically highly developed in those whose base intelligence is musical. In addition, they will sometimes use songs or rhythms to learn. They have sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre.tonesabsolute pitch Careers that suit those with this intelligence include instrumentalists, singers, conductors, disc-jockeys, orators, writers and composers. Interpersonal This area has to do with interaction with others. In theory, people who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group. They communicate effectively and empathize easily with others, and may be either leaders or followers. They typically learn best by working with others and often enjoy discussion and debate.extroverts Careers that suit those with this intelligence include sales, politicians, managers, teachers and social workers. [9]salespoliticiansmanagersteacherssocial workers [9] Intrapersonal This area has to do with introspective and self-reflective capacities. People with intrapersonal intelligence are intuitive and typically introverted. [citation needed] They are skillful at deciphering their own feelings and motivations. [citation needed] This refers to having a deep understanding of the self; what your strengths/ weaknesses are, what makes you unique, being able to predict your own reactions/emotions. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include philosophers, psychologists, theologians, lawyers, and writers. [citation needed] People with intrapersonal intelligence also prefer to work alone. [citation needed]introspectivecitation needed Naturalistic This area has to do with nurturing and relating information to one’s natural surroundings. Examples include classifying natural forms such as animal and plant species and rocks and mountain types; and the applied knowledge of nature in farming, mining, etc. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include naturalists, farmers and gardeners
