This week went really well. I was extremely excited to get signed off for subbing, but I was even more excited to get my first job. It was in the room that is not normally my home base and it was really different, but I definitely feel good about how it went. Something I really noticed this week was how long lessons take in math. I feel like I had so many more things planned, but never got to them because of how long things took with understanding and practicing skills we needed to go over. For example, I had to backtrack after teaching the chart method for clusters, because I realized they were not understanding the meaning behind place value, which I had just assumed they knew. I had to change up my schedule for the following day to add in a quick activity that included this so they would be able to fill out the charts. I was pleased to see that this lesson helped them fill in the chart worksheet.
This week I am going to work on my transition from math to language arts. I know it will be a good one, even though I have grown pretty attached to math in a sense. Its been a totally new experience and I have really enjoyed all the learning I have done from it. I will be working on making my lesson plans as fun and valuable as they can be.
