Observe: Second grade performed a folk dance this week. My CT encouraged me to teach the dance to half the class, then the other half, so that they perform separately. I did this for most classes; however, there were a couple of classes that I decided to allow the entire class to perform the dance at the same time. I allowed this for the classes that were easier to manage and had the more mature students. It was a successful process.
Reflect: To assess the ability levels of different classes and to be prepared for those, as often there are different levels of achievement ability among classes of the same grade.
Focus: My short term goals for this week were to finish a couple of written components of the portfolio, including my philosophy, aligning with the long term goal of finishing my portfolio and graduating from college.
Be Productive: My screencasts. I still haven’t begun those.
Have Courage: I had a sub with me for a couple of days because my CT went out of town. While I was teaching, she would correct behavior and sometimes ask me questions, which was sometimes distracting. I thought about mentioning this to her but decided not to. I believe that was the wise decision, as she was ultimately kind and helpful and I just had to adjust to a different style (my CT does not interrupt my lessons).
Begin Anew: Prepare to conquer the screencasts.
