The first day
Wow! I did it. Now, if I just buy about $3000 worth of hardware, I'll be technologically up-to-date.Not sure about this whole thing. My style is pretty formal, reinforced by too many years of corporate-speak so I think it will be a good exercise to work on a less stodgy style.
Today probably isn't the best day to start. Somehow, even when you do 9 things right, it's always the 1 that didn't go well that sabotages your mind. Maybe, though, that makes it a good day to start.
Concentrating again this week on being very structured to keep things in hand. It worked well last week when the whole session was a lesson but once they get out of their seats to look for books, it's a whole other story.
Things that went well - kids did the scanning for 4th and 5th. Needed almost no instruction and handled it very well. Most classes were fairly quiet and followed instructions.
Things that didn't go so well - Wordsearch had too many rows and columns for most groups. Too hard to find words. Several kids who were asked to keep track of 5 minute checkout time and then ring the bell couldn't tell time well-enough to figure out when to ring the bell. 3rd graders need more help in choosing appropriate level books.
Checking with districts for books for W who needs large print. Maybe book on tape would be better?
Tomorrow's another day.
