@MsDeates2002 I haven’t started looking at my second observation, you’ve beaten me to it. I also miss my kids as it’s been awhile since I’ve seen them 😞

#EDU310 This week, my students are on spring break so I didn’t get to visit, and they will also have forward testing soon. I will likely need to add more hours to make sure I reach the requirement but I hope they’re beneficial to my learning

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@MsKiolbasse204 I hope they did well too! My class has forward testing coming up as well so I may need to add some more hours and then they’ll go on break. Seems our classes have a different schedule

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

I worked with a small group on their reading books and then the class had to take a reading quiz and complete their know-it show-it pages

#EDU310 This week, I only went to my placement once because they would be out on their field trip at the time I would’ve gone. My mentor teacher had to do one-on-one intervention with a student so I had to monitor the class a little more than usual.

@MsJohnson0303 Phew that’s a lot to take on for your first one but I know you can handle it. Good luck!

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@MsJohnson0303 Thank you I need it

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

#EDU310 I went to my placement three times this week and had my first observation. I worked on a pictograph worksheet with a small group. I think it went well and I’m ready to enjoy an actual break now that I’m free!

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@amyyydonaldson Yeah it was fun to brainstorm about different ways I could teach cooperation to third graders

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

#EDU310 My mentor teacher asked me to prepare an SEL activity about cooperation, their word for the month. So, I had them play blind drawing where I described a picture they needed to recreate.

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@JodieWhitt_Stan It went well! Short and sweet

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@MsKiolbasse204 I like when I get to attend events in school or just see how the school runs outside of my classroom, so it’s cool you got to go to an assembly. I’m sure you’ll do great on your observation too!!

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

Then, I asked them to share examples of how they cooperate in school and picked a student to lead one more round of blind drawing. It was fun to see them try to describe their drawing accurately and for the class to understand the descriptions

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

For the first round, I described the wrong picture on purpose, so they would understand that without my cooperation they can’t recreate the picture accurately. I did another round correctly so they could see the difference between the results and also for fun.

@JodieWhitt_Stan Thanks :))

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

#EDU310 I’ve scheduled my first observation in March and will be teaching a short SEL activity about cooperation on Monday to my 3rd graders :)

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@MsJohnson0303 Thank you!

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@toriein I had no idea this grading scale was being used in art classes, I hope it doesn’t criticize the product so much as the assigned process

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@MsJohnson0303 Yes I just need to get more comfortable in my teacher shoes :)

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

#EDU310 I got to see my students twice this week and helped look after them while my teacher was busy. I also supervised them at recess which I’ve never done before and almost felt like a real teacher 😂

[maryem | مريم @maryemsjournal]

@ms_emily_eled You’re right… I just need to get more comfortable and remember that I actually am the adult in the room 😂
