Another day in the classroom! Today was an exciting day – a lot was going on. First, I taught my math lesson, and it went well. This lesson was on interpreting measurement data from various points on a plot line. This lesson was #6 within the chapter, so the students had previous knowledge and were knowledgeable about the information. I had no idea how the students would do in this lesson. When I talked with my MT, she worried about my teaching because she was unsure how the students would grasp the information. I think the students did awesomely! They were blasting through the lesson right with me. They knew so much more than I thought they would go into my teaching day. I had tried to ask questions before my lesson to gauge their knowledge to see how much they knew right away. I had a blast with this lesson. Math is usually dull, and it was, but the students seemed to be enjoying my teaching! I think I did a good job with this lesson. I’ll attach some photos of the student’s exit tickets!
In the afternoon, the 3rd-grade class had a visitor. There was a student teacher about 20 years ago who is now an author, so he was invited to come and talk with the students. This was so cute to see. The students were acting like he was a crazy movie star or something!
