Today when I got to class I went to the art room.  In the art room I was cutting stripes of paper with quotes on them.  My cooperating teacher does a reading and running program.  She found out the students really liked her quotes, so she gives them a motivational quote everyday after reading and running.  When I got done cutting paper I started helping students 1:1.  I helped a couple students with math and then one student with reading.  After helping the students I observed the teacher, teaching the math lesson.  After the math lesson, and helping students for a little while I left.

Friday 11.4.11

Today we started with math.  The students were doing a worksheet that was challenging.  After the worksheet, we started the next math lesson.  Then I took 9 students to the hallway to read.  The students were disrespectful during the reading.  After the book they got to take an online quiz about the book for free points.  Since many students weren't listening not very many got the free points.  Then I went to the third grade.  There, I did a lot of grading and entered grades in the grade book.  Then I went back to the fourth grade.  I gave a student a spelling test 1:1 and it was successful!  Then the crazy day was over.

Wednesday. 11.2.11

Today we started with math.  I took a student to the back of the room to work with him 1:1.  That took about and hour and  a half.  Then I went in the hallway and hung up art projects.  After that, I went to the third grade.  It was a student's birthday so I got a cupcake!!  I helped the teacher fix her projector and then the students were reading.  While the students were reading I just observed.  Then I went back to the fourth grade.  The student's did silent reading until recess.

The students had testing all day, but I was able to pick at my teachers brain.
Her favorite type of assessment is using the white boards.
Her help for new teachers is to not get over involved. You are a teacher your job is 7:30-4, then you have family time.
The thing she encouraged the most was to be assertive.
