Teaching


*
I feel like I have been telling you lots about my weekend adventures.
Don't worry mom and dad, during the week I am working hard too!

This week I started teaching full time.
Since I have been at the school I have implemented morning meeting in my classroom.
My cooperating teacher and class LOVE it.
It has been very fun and exciting to introduce it to them.

In maths (yes, they say maths), and literacy they do rotations, most days,
where small groups of students work on varying tasks.
I am very greatful that I am experiencing this because,
we are able to give each child work at their level. 
It takes a little extra prep, but it is worth it because of the level of student engagement.

Since it is the end of the year, the afternoons are pretty low key. 
My teacher wants me to do lots of art lessons! 
Right now we are decorating boomerangs... time will tell what the next project is. 
Any suggestions?
