Week 14

What an exciting week! I presented my first lesson plan this week! On monday I helped a student when the kids were all writing on their whiteboards. I love helping students so much! He even seemed to understand a little better when I helped him which was awesome! Unfortunately he has a lot of problems with division and multiplication tables which will make math that much harder. I have also come to realize that math is one of the harder subjects when it comes to teaching. On Thursday, I presented my lesson plan which is reflected upon in a different entry. On Friday, there was a substitute. On that day I helped a different student with math which was long division. He was doing ok but there seems to be confusion on where to put the numbers. It's something that is just going to take practice like all math. I had to correct myself twice when helping him though because I was not thinking straight in mathematical terms but I did catch them. It was a good teacher moment. We all make mistakes! The worst thing that happened this week was that I got sick. And on the day of my lesson plan! I got through it though. The best thing was helping out the students. It's so rewarding!
