Students were hit with two assessments today - first writing, then vocabulary. Don't worry - they had recess after each assessment. After assessments were through, it was back to the rotation!
In Math, we plotted the hight/arm span coordinates (collected last week) onto an x/y axis. It was beautiful.
Social Studies was a continuation of Friday's lesson - hunting for textbook features that help to navigate the information.
In Science, students now have to create structures out of just one index card and 6" of tape. The structure needs to hold 6 or more dictionaries 1/2" off of a table...should be fun!
I'm starting to worry that I ingested a tape worm. I do nothing but eat all day long. Many, many, many snacks (healthy, of course) are ingested throughout the day, but nothing satisfies me. I'm in a constant state of hunger.
Also, it seems that the universe is telling me to stick with education. I've been questioning my decision to leave higher ed over the past couple of weeks due to my overwhelming feeling of being underwhelmed by the teaching experience. But, within the last week, Deval Patrick, Sister Helen Prejean, and now Oprah have all told me to stick with it. According to Oprah and Bill Gates, Public Education is in dire need of strong teachers. I'm ready to step up to the plate.
