Week 5

This week was October 20 and 21. On the first day I created a bulletin board composed of the student's work with the theme of being thankful on thanksgiving. It was a fun assignment because I had the chance to create something. I learned that my mentor teacher wanted her example to be in the middle which is a good idea because it is a model for the rest of the student's work. On the second day I helped the kids with a guided practice. The only downfall is when I can't remember a student's name. I know it, but it doesn't come to me right away. It was exciting to see the student's participate in the assignment. I also got the opportunity to learn about some websites that can help a teacher with lesson plans and learned a little more about the fourth grade curriculum. Their curriculum seems more advanced than first grade. It seems they need to cover a little bit more.
