Week 8

Last week when I went to my mentor sight I was able to accomplish a lot. I made a brochure for a story the students were learning about. I presented it to them too which was fun. This provided a model for what the students needed to accomplish. They were able to use my example for the criteria. Also on that day, I watched my teacher teach a math lesson for her students. I noticed how she walked around the room to check for understanding. This was a pre lesson for what they were going to learn the following day. The next day I was there I graded 'Arizona' tests. The student's did really well on these tests. They appeared to have learned a lot about the history of Arizona. I also took notice of the setup for the test. The first part was multiple choice, the second was a reading test, and the last part was a crossword. This was a good setup because it allowed the students to apply their knowledge in other ways than just one. The only downside to my experience was that I was unable to see the entire math lesson. I would have liked to see how she concluded it. Anyway, this week I will be bringing my mentor breakfast to show appreciation for all she has done for the FEA as well as myself.
