This is the fourth week in the schools, how the time has flown! Last week on Friday (November 18th) we had a huge snow storm in central Minnesota. It started to rain at the beginning of the morning as the students were entering the classroom. Then as our morning meeting got started it started to sleet, and was creating a noise as it hit the window of the classroom. Of course, the students were immediately distracted. However, my CT is a classroom management wizard, and kept the children on task. It then started to snow when the kids began to eat lunch. Then the principal came on the speakers and made the announcement that school was going to be let out at 11:05 because of the bad weather. Let mw just say, the kids went nuts! My CT asked me to stay and watch the students as she went into her classroom and called parents. My CT goes above and beyond with communication with her co-workers, parents, and even with her field experience students. She made sure that the parents of the students knew the announcement, and also made sure that they had a safe way on getting home. I have learned so many valuable lessons from her, but this week I learned that communication with your student's parents is key to success.
