Day Two in Mrs. Catoe's class was great! Mrs. Catoe and I created a sign-up sheet where the students can sign up for one-on-one reading time with me! She also said that some students will be taken aside to get extra help on certain assignments from me. The students already know to call me Miss Madison, and I love it. I cannot wait until tomorrow!
Today during class the students went over their AR plans. They must select books from the color group they are in and when done reading they must take the AR tests in the computer lab. They then have it recorded and it is added to their AR point’s goal. After everyone had taken their tests they were allowed to go to the Book Fair. After everyone had been to the Book Fair they were told to sit in front of the board where they learned the importance of a graph and how to read them. The graph was about bats which they have been reading about for a while. They were then put in groups and worked together to answer the questions. - Christian
Today in Mrs. Mathis's class they learned how to solve inequalities. It is the same thing as solving equations basically so it was pretty simple. The students did have too much of a problem doing it. They have a test tomorrow and Mrs. Mathis was making sure that they knew what to do. She lets me check their homework and pass papers out to them. She is really trying to get me involved, and make sure I am involved. They all know me as Miss. Boone and it is really cool. They respect me and actually ask for my help sometimes. Except her second class that comes in. They are the "smarter" class and they are kind of sassy.
Today when I arrived at my placement, which is 1st grade at Mt. Pisgah; I first introduced myself to the students. They were very friendly and I love them already. After that I called them up to my table one by one to get to know their names and to check their reading assignment they had for homework. If they completed their assignment and brought their books back I gave them two ram bucks. A ram buck is a fake dollar they get as a reward, and at the end of a certain length of time they can cash them in for prizes. After I did that I took a group of kids to the book fair. While we were in the fair they shopped while I asked them what kind of books they were interested in. When we returned to the classroom I walked around and observed/help them do their classwork. When they were finished with that it was silent reading time, so I was assigned a student to read with for 15 minutes. When silent reading was done it was pretty much time for me to leave. I said goodbye to the kids and went to school. - Summer
Today when I arrived at my placement at Bethune, I finally got to meet my 1st grade class! I love them to death!!! Today they did their morning routines of writing words they have been learning this week. We then took them to the bathroom and let them get water. When we went back to the classroom, they all wanted me to read to them. I told them no because I wanted to see how they interact with the teacher, but I did promise them that I would read to them tomorrow. I am beyond excited to have these kids in my placement!!
For me, in Ms. Pigg's second grade class at Bethune Elementary, day two was even better than day one! When I walked in, they were all sitting at their desks doing their morning work. The kids all greeted me with a "Good morning!" After a few kids waving at me five times a piece, they settled down and went over their morning work with Ms. Pigg. The morning announcements came on the T.V. When this was over, they all went over what the day and date was. I like how Ms. Pigg involves every student by letting each kid have a day to act like the teacher during this time. After going over the weather and important upcoming dates, Ms. Pigg has reading time. Then, one student gets to read a book to the class. It's usually time for me to leave when they finish ths. I love this second grade class and look forward to tomorrow and the rest of my semester with them!
Day Two was fabulous! The students started their day by copying down their SC facts while Leininger went over them. They they read the next chapter in a book they are reading that deals with the Revolutionary War which is what they are currently studying. Then they played a jeopardy game to review for their test over their American Revolution unit. Then they read one more chapter in their book and discussed it. When the next class came in, Leininger had me go over the SC Facts with them. I was nervous because I didn't remember a lot of what I was going over. I am looking forward to becoming more comfortable with social studies and delivering the content to the students. So excited to work with the students and Leininger!
It was pretty cool with the little ones today. When I got there the kids were working on their morning work. They are too cute. Soon after Mrs.Gandy asked me to take a few of the kids over to a small work station so I could help them count better. They counted so funny: one, two, three, eight, twenty-seven, nineteen. I was thinking, "Wow, that's some new generation counting right there." I love those children all ready. It's so much fun hanging out with them and just talking. On a side not, one of the little girls told me I looked beautiful; talk about sweet.
Today in Mrs. Peake's class was great! I got to walk around with Mrs. Peake while the students worked on their scary stories they wrote. I got to help edit and answer questions any of them had while they typed their paper. I love that I get to move around and interact with all of the students already. Its going to be such a great semester!
I had so much fun in my placement, today! The students reviewed vocabulary before they took their quiz, and I got to lead a group in "I have, who has". It's such a creative way to review vocabulary and get everyone involved! I also got to see Mrs. Kahler's powerpoints that she uses to go over the student's words. They each had a different, hilarious picture to help the kids remember their vocabulary words. She has such an innovative teaching style and I can't wait to learn more from her!
Today was a health day in my placement. When the students arrived to class they were greeted with a PowerPoint wih the title "Flatulence". It would seem to be an awkward topic to talk about, but I believe that Coach Frye did a pretty good job and making the student comfortable with it by joking around yet being serious enough to get the information out so the students could actually learn to 7th graders that would find the subject funny
Today I attended Mrs. Smith 6th grade math class for the second time. The routine was nothing unusual, or different from the past. After the students came in, they began to have their homework checked. I personally went around to each student to check that they did it, and to sign off on their agendas. After this it was reviewed. The work they were doing consists of simplifying fractions, along with greatest common factor (GCF). In the beginning I was thinking, what I have I gotten myself in to? I immediately started thinking I couldn’t teach. However, to fix this problem, I did the same worksheet they were doing. This seemed to automatically fix my problem. Considering I got to be more active today, and work with the students more I enjoyed it. I believe the rest of this semester will be outstanding. - Ben
