Last day of September Experience. Have really enjoyed this 1st introduction to running a classroom, management, lessons, assessments, and a zillion other things. If your a person who is not organized than run away as quick as you can because you will be buried and constantly behind. Fortunately I am, and thrive on organization. But I am flexible. Timing is everything in teaching, so as not having bored kids or lessons that run short, and you need go to stuff to keep them engaged. It is amazing how an experienced teacher such as my MT is, sees so much going on in the classroom. She says its no trick, its just experience from seeing it all and how children react, and behave in a certain way that hones your detection skills as to what is going on or what the child is trying to tell you. Amazing. I will really miss my MT, and the children, and hopefully January will be here before I know it. But until then I have another adventure to experience in another school, with another MT which I hope is as engaging is this past month has been.
Today’s learning goals, short “i” words, and in science predicting how our newly acquired seeds will grow.
10:56 Quick As A Wink short “i” words
12:20 Math Assessment today of Singapore Math. What do you already know, is how it’s presented.
- Third planting of black walnut, douglas fir, Washington chestnut, and lavender today. Kids know the drill by now.
- Quick game to kill some time, make other words by changing only one letter, silk, milk, mile, etc..
- Take one, pass it on, put your name on.
- Corrected math problems. I think the kids did well despite the fact that its not our curriculum and the kids have not been formally taught some of the problems.
