Week 4 Blog
The beginning of this week was that we had the two high-level learning groups do the same bear activity we did on the Friday. They put the bears into the boats and discovered which one sank and which one floated. We then worked with the high-energy group and did the same activity and they loved it. On Wednesday is when we let the students make their own boats and have them float their boats and put bears in the boats. We are still continuing the activity into our last week of teaching with the low-level students. They are going to make their boats next week. On Friday, they had a substitute teacher and did they ever take advantage of that. It was like they were an entirely different class. But their normal teacher came in and they were just fine like nothing happened.
I also for got to mention that during Week 3 and 4, I helped a few students with reading and phonics. We also did our read-a-louds and we did pretty well with those.
I've been noticing a pattern with everyone that has a substitute. These are the moments we should take in the most. We are going to be a new teacher to every class we have at least once a year (unless you sub). If any one has experienced a very skilled substitute teacher, they should take special attention on how they handle the classroom. These would be strategies you will want to take when you have a classroom of your own.
