Alison’s 260 Weblog

I was able to teach a lesson this Thursday using the daily calender activities.  I was a little nervous for this because there are a couple problem students that usually have trouble sitting through calender without disrupting the whole class.  Surprisingly they were not a problem and were attentive and not disruptive.  I was very excited about this and felt that overall the lesson went well.  The students had a little trouble with some of the math problems but we worked through them together and they were able to find the correct answers.  I enjoyed taking the class and am looking forward for my future lessons.

In my classroom, there are two of us from 260 and a student teacher as well.  It is fun having all of the extra hands when checking math homework and helping them with problems.  One issue I have had is trying to decide how far to step in on other’s lessons.  When students are acting out I want to help and get them back on track but I also do not want to overstep the teacher that is teaching and let them be in control.  It has not been an issue so far but it was just one thing I noticed this week as I was teaching.
