Block Finished

Alright so my 3 week block is all complete now. It was definitely more stressful then i thought it would be. A lot was going on and it always seemed that I was rushing and always had something to finish. I think the projects that I was trying to complete weren't quite organized well enough. I think i need to do these projects in steps rather then giving them the entire project at once. I guess that is something that i have learned this semester. I can see the growth in my own teaching techniques and my interactions with the students. It is really cool to see where I started and what I'm becoming in these few short months! December is here and it is the final stretch, with a lot of field trips and wind up things planned there isn't much more time in my internship.

Structure

So I found out today, without any structure the students go absolutly CRAZY! I started a letter writing project and the student couldn't seem to get started on it. I had to keep on them to make sure they kept going. It is near the end of the day and i think this has something to do with it. I know that i get excited for the end of the day too. haha

3 week block

3 week block started today with a full morning of prep haha. I am very excited to start my language arts unit focusing on community and family. It has been a unit i have been planning for about the past week and a bit. Projects include aboriginal story telling, family structures, action project, and many more. I began reading 'The Outsiders' today in class. Students seem very interested in it!


Until another time!

P.s. Math test tomorrow!
