Day 8!

I cannot believe that tomorrow is the last day of the second week! Practicum has gone by so fast and I feel like there is so much that I need to do!

Mrs. Fouts talked to a 3rd grade teacher at Riddle about the IRIs. The teacher is letting Brittany and I take a student and assess them. After we talked to the teacher, she went to her office and made a letter to the parents of the two students and explained that we will be coming in to assess them! Brittany and I were impressed that this teacher was so on-top of it! It seems like every teacher at Riddle is very organized!

Mrs. Fouts found out just this morning, from a letter from a parent, that a boy in our class is moving TOMORROW, and his last day of school was TODAY! This was shocking and really sad news!

Brittany and I are doing a great job of getting involved in as much as possible! We are learning so much! We also are getting useful materials!

While we were in small group for part of the math lesson, a boy was not paying attention and he was touching everything that around him. I asked him several times to pay attention. It got to the point where he was being so silly that I told him he needed to move his name to yellow. He said "no". So Mrs. Fouts did it for him. He was not happy. Mrs. Fouts showed me the form she fills out when a student is moved on the behavior chart. It was a little yellow sheet of paper titled "Oops I was not behaving.." She writes what the student did to be moved and the parent has to sign it. I felt bad, but this student has been silly all week. (I think it is because break is so close.)

Brittany and I played our apple site word game with some of our students during reading groups and they loved it! :)

One little boy told me he loved me and another on blew me a kiss from across the room.... they are so cute! :)
