Ahoy! The criteria I used for my teacher created materials was the alphabet for kindergartners. I used the experiences in my field site classroom to make my decision about this creation. I saw that the students were working on lower and upper case letters of the alphabet. So, I decided to create something that could help them determine which is which. I didn't really encounter much difficulties other than just keeping everything organized and in order. It did take up a lot of my time, but it was worth it. The best thing about my created material was making it. It was fun to make and see it come out better than I thought it would. Going back and doing it all over again, since I used a metal board so it would be magnetic for the magnetic letters I created, I would change putting magnets on the board and just use the magnetism the board already contained instead of "double magnetizing." I would also have entered into the region competition and competed my teacher created materials. I have gained insight into how easy it can be to create something to help your students learn with a cool activity and how making it fun can be easy. I hope to be able to use this in my field site classroom and later on when I become a kindergarten teacher. I also hope that it becomes helpful to the students and helps them know the alphabet and the difference between lower and upper case letters. The TCU field trip was a blast. There were so many different teacher created materials that could be used for learning in a classroom.
