Week 9

This week in my mentor class I delivered two muffins to my mentor for a service project and appreciation as well. That day I graded math tests. I was surprised to learn how many students struggle in math opposed to other subjects, probably because of how precise one has to be when doing math. I learned that one little mistake can alter the whole problem, thereby making wrong. I also learned how there are trends when the problems were preformed incorrectly. For example, if a problem was missed for one reason, many other students missed the same problem for the same reason. As a teacher, I feel it would be important to clear some of the mistakes up so it can be prevented next to and learning can be done through mistakes. Surprisingly, I like grading papers. It gives me a chance to look over the curriculum for fourth graders and observe the class at the same time. The worst part of the experience was when I came in, the student's thought they were getting muffins so I had to give them the sad truth. Overall it was a good experience and I look forward to later experiences.
