This week I had my third observation of my total four this semester. I introduced the Distance Formula during my lesson which went fairly well. It took a bit for me to prepare for the lesson because geometry is definitely not my specialty. #EDU310

@dziekanskiemma Yay! So proud of you! I'm sure it felt great to lead the class 😄

My mentor teacher and I talked in depth about Evidence Based Grading. Have any of you been introduced to that way of grading at your placement? What type of grading system does your mentor teacher use? #EDU310

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

@dziekanskiemma It must have felt great to be able to support your students in their normal morning routine without the teacher being there!

This week is the end of the quarter at my placement so the students used the class time to complete missing work so I was supporting many of the students during this time.

@BrockLund4 I can completely relate to that at my placement. It can be super challenging but in the long run it is so rewarding! Proud of you 🥳

We celebrated by watching the movie "Flamin Hot" 🔥

@Lyndsey5659 Yay! That's so great! I'm sure you did a wonderful job and I am sure the kids loved it

Had observation two of four this semester. I did my lesson in the two math classes. First class went great & then when I was observed during the second, I thought it was a disaster. There were only four students. One was sleeping & the other three wanted to do nothing. #EDU310

@sydney_plate That is so many names! I am sure it will get easier eventually 🤗 You've got this!

Had my first observation today. We played battleship to continue practicing how to plot points on a graph. At the end of class, they filled out an exit slip which really helped to assess what they are excelling at or what they may be struggling with #EDU310

@BrockLund4 That sounds like a great learning experience! I hope it was a field trip to somewhere fun 😎

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

We did math centers at my placement today to check the students skills. It was nice for me because I was able to be more involved by having my own groups and getting more one on one time with each of the students #EDU310

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

@Lyndsey5659 That sounds like a great time! I am sure the 4th graders are loving you being in their class!

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

My placement is in a high school cross-categorical geometry class and I cannot math for the life of me. Trying to plan for my observation is becoming a struggle #EDU310

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

@MissTorkelSax Learning from your mentor teacher and learning how to be better is such a great motivator to be the best future teacher that you can be!

[Kate Carvis @MsCarvis_SpEd]

Second clinical today. I ran a welcome activity to get the students engaged because its almost impossible with high schoolers. They ended up being way more talkative than I thought which was GREAT. Two Truths One Lie is an awesome activity for all ages. I recommend it! #EDU310 🤪
