Last week and this week has gone by so fast. We finished up Quarter one and are making sure all our assessments are finished and getting everything entered in the computer for grades and having things organized for conferences. It was need being able to get on the computer and put my input in in regards to where each student is at socially(1,2, 3).We are fortunate to have the Alaska Avalanche Hockey team volunteering their time in our class once a week for 2 hours. The student have loved having them help us with benchmarks, reading and centers. I was really impressed how one hockey player was able to help an ELL student break out of her shell and laugh so much with a strong male role model.
We also did some fun scarecrow art, started literacy centers, and math games. It was so fun seeing them learn but have so much FUN with these activities.
I subbed today for my teacher and will be subbing on Thursday. I ran into some problems with one of my literacy lessons and my entire math lesson. Luckily my mentor teacher had stepped in to the classroom during those two times that she wasn't filling in for the principal and helped me out a lot. Once students left for the day she sat down with me and brainstormed how I can fix those things I ran into and help me not feel the need to use literacy and math curriculum books word for word and choose what works and makes since and what I could tweak! I felt a little bad about how the math went, but I realized how to improve Thursday. I also realized that I am learning and will eventually master TEACHING!!!
