Lesson Plan: Native Americans Today: ( https://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/native-americans-today#ResourceTabs1)  The main focus of this lesson plan is for students to understand that Native Americans do exist, and aren't vanished, to this day.  I think the breakdown of the lesson plan is very thought out. For one, students will be able to understand that Native American are around, in present day. It also allows for discussion within small groups, so they can bounce ideas, comments, etc off of one another. I also like that students will be able to read books, from Native Americans, themselves, because I feel like it allows students to fully comprehend the lesson. Students will also be able to understand their past knowledge, to the knowledge the learned throughout this lesson. I think it's very important for students to reflect back on their assumptions before the lesson, because it shows where they were wrong, where they assumed, and the prior ster

  The book that I'm choosing is "Pink Is For Boys," by Robb Pearlman. This book talks about the how pink is for both boys and girls.

The Edutopia website had many great suggestions on how to incorporate identity within the classroom. For one, they mentioned "Classroom Relationships," and I think this is an amazing way to build respect and trust, within the classroom. It allows you to know each student, individually, and it allows the students to get to know one another, with respect. I think we could read this book then proceed to have one day out of each week and state something about ourselves that someo

Raegan Olvera The picture above, kind of describes who I am right now. My mindset is a huge part of who I am. My mindset often influences how I carry myself, how I show up for myself, how I go about in my day-to-day life. For one, the smiley face describes how happy I am right now. The" heart myself" means that I'm in a stage of my life where I'm learning to love myself in different formats and ways. The "TXST" describes that I'm a student right now, and how I love learning new things. The sun describes my love for hiking and going to the river. The check mark describes how determined I am in my every day-today life. My mindset is always changing but my main goal is to be successful in life, and not just in one aspect, but all aspects.  A Few Things About Me: I think my mindset has to do with who I am. I often believe that your mindset sets the tone of who you are in the moment. Manifestation and prayer also tune into of how you speak on and towards your
