This week has been very busy. My CT had conferences on Thursday night so she had spent a lot of time doing assessments to show parents how their children are progressing. There was a substitute teacher on Wednesday so my CT could finish assessments. This gave my partner and I the opportunity to have a bit more responsibility in the classroom. I was even able to assess a couple of students on their ability to recognize numbers. I noticed some of the children progressed immensely with numbers in the three short weeks that I've been there.
The book fair was at the school this week and it was fun watching the children look through all the books with excitement. When I was their age, I looked at and got the books that came with toys but most of the students chose to look at books based on their interest. Unfortunately, not many students in my class had money to buy books and the students who had money were only given a dollar and bought erasers.
Lastly, like many of you, the school was dismissed early because of the weather which made today pretty crazy. They were all excited about the snow and leaving early that getting them to focus was difficult. So instead of the regular curriculum, they did an art project, played games on the whiteboard, and had free play.
Hi Courtney! At what time did your school know they would be dismissed early? My school found out at 9:4ish and was closing at 11:05, and everyone still had to eat lunch! We also had a sub this week and I agree that it was exciting to have more responsibility in the classroom as the sub was trying to get the hang of how things went. Our sub was SUPER fun and I thought it was good experience to see what the life of a sub is like.
