Today was a good day, it was very hot, but it was good. Students worked really hard, and got all their work completed. Not only have we not been through the whole schedule yet, but there are many subjects that haven’t been touched on, or haven’t even been mentioned more than just going over the schedule.


I watched and helped students the whole day, and did end up teaching an impromptu daily math lesson. Students seemed to have fun working on the SMART board. It was a good opportunity for everyone to be able to see, and know that they will be able to sometimes do this.

I had a visit from the university supervisor today. He managed to show up right as I was teaching this impromptu lesson (Miss M had to leave the room to run and do something). I think the lesson went well, if I could have done more, I would have. The students knew what they were doing, and could have probably done the whole page by themselves without me helping them. The only one that they may have had a little trouble with would have been the last problem which was the word problem. Following directions seems to be hard, and there are a few students who tend to need one on one direction in order to get something. A student has asked me many times after going over it with the class what he is suppose to be doing. I don’t think it is because he isn’t paying attention, I just think that he needs the support and one-on-one, face-to-face instruction. He also tends to need a little help, and a little extra of a push here and there.

There are a few other students who have some problems. There is another student who either is stubborn, or actually needs the extra push (Miss M and I have been told by last years teachers/paras that he is stubborn because he wants attention). Another student has ADD, and she has a hard time paying attention, following directions, and sitting still. Today she had asked a few questions when she shouldn’t have because they didn’t have anything to do with what was going on, and she had her pencil taken away.

The rest of the day was pretty normal, like every other day. Still haven’t looked at social or science. The students also got to draw a picture at the end of the day of something that they did over the summer.

Tomorrow is the last day of the first week!!
