Week 8: Day 1

Today is the first day that I get to teach everything. I have the whole day to teach everything. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. Not that I wasn’t preparing myself before, but I really felt like I was taking the time to work on different things and make sure that I was fully prepared. I also had to write plans for the Title 1 teachers today, who work with students with their math. That was something I had never done before, and I wasn’t sure if I did it right, or did a good enough job, but I will find out soon enough. I also made plans for all three of us to use with our small groups.

We had quite a few students missing, last I heard in our class alone we had 5. The whole school had 30, which Miss M said was about 15% of the school. To me that seems like a lot of students to be gone at once, she even said it was. The H1N1 bug is definitely catching up around here. I actually know a few older adults who have had it, as well as some of my parent’s friends in the cities. I hope that it stays away from me, because the last thing that I need is to be sick and out for an entire week!

It was a long night last night, and I didn’t get all my lesson planning done, so I have to finish that up today.
