Day Two: Group Three
Amazing job today girls! You spoke clearly and provided the students with excellent information and knowledge. I think that you allowed them plenty of time for their commercials and they seemed to have so much fun with the assignment. In addition , I believe you provided the students with examples which they could understand and also had an excellent intro and closure. Great job making them feel like companies and employees as well.

Yayyy Group 3, Awesome Job!
Hi,
Group 3 you did a wonderful job for your first day and the lesson went very smooth. I thought you all knew what you were talking about and each engaged the kids well. I feel each group is doing better and better each time , which is wonderful. I think that we need a bit of time to discuss the commercials before diving right into them Monday but I know that we are on a time constraint. Great job again and I am excited about seeing how this whole project turns out.

Quick Thought for Today
Hi everyone,
For my work study job ,on campus , I work at the writing center. I help one of the professors with a project or just tell people coming in where to go or where to find what they need. However, I have the opportunity to see the many people whom take advantage of the writing center. These students come to have a paper read over and revised. I spoke with one of the tutors today and she could not believe how terrible one of the students writing was. In addition , I have read over papers for friends and am surprised by the lack of writing skills. I am , by no means, an amazing writer. However, as future teachers I feel we all have a duty to better ourselves as writers in order to be excellent models for our future students. If you do not feel you are a great writer or think that you need some improvement, come stop by the writing center and make an appointment. It is located downstairs near the dining hall in room 12 :) The tutors will give you insight and help you to acquire better writing skills.

Last day of Teaching

Stumbled Upon this!
I found this today on pinterest, of course. I am on pinterest all the time , if you have never tried it out , you should! I enjoy this picture because it reminds me alot of our SS class. It reminds me of our class because Dr. Smirnova is always trying to get us try new things and to have an open mind. I believe it is important in life to have an open mind and be willing to try new things. Moreover, this is essential to pass onto our futue students and even the students we are working with now! I want them to feel as if they can conquer anything they set their mind too and have little fear in life. I used to think teaching was only about teaching skills in reading ,writing and math... but I have come to realize it is also about teaching students about life and the meaning of it!

An interesting Article: Explore, explore , explore!!!!!
Hi Everyone ,
I stumbled upon this on pinterest: check out the blog. I believe that reading and reflecting on other's blogs or posts is essential to becoming an amazing teacher. Moreover, it is so silly not to use someone's ideas that they are sharing to build on and expand.

First day of teaching!
Group Two : Day One
I had such a blast co-teaching today with my group members I was worried it wouldn't go over smoothly but for the most part I thought it was awesome. There were a few things I wish we could have changed ; such as, spend a little less time to fit everything in better but it is tricky to rush such a large project. I couldn't ask for better group members or better support from the rest of the class, thank you all! I hope the next two sessions go great and the students continue to enjoy this project.

Group One ,
I thought that today for your cooperative lesson it was a bit scrambled and there was not much explanation or central focus. However, as I prepare my lessons for the upcoming sessions, I realize there is SO much to fit in and not much time whatsoever. In addition, I feel that some of the concepts are tricky to teach with so little time. I feel that you guys improved over the sessions and became stronger teachers. You were so brave to go first and helped to model for us how much was involved in teaching this topic. Thank you all for going first and giving it your very best.

Dear Team 1,
I thought you all did well today and improved from last time. In addition , I believe this lesson was more entertaining and went more smoothly. You guys did an inquiry lesson and it was much more entertaining than the first day! I loved that you reviewed inquiry with them. Awesome job and it truly seemed liked the students enjoyed the session as well :) keep up the great work !

Group 1 : day 1
Dear team 1,
I thought you did a wonderful job on your first day with the fourth graders. You kept the children very excited about learning new terms and showed them how important it is to have this new knowledge. Moreover, I loved how you had each group practice saying the words and asked them if they agreed or disagreed. The only negative I noticed was that it seemed like you were not all on the same page as a group , I know how hard working in groups is and especially presenting. Overall, awesome job , keep up the good work :) I believe the lesson was direct instruction . In addition , I think that you reviewed too many terms at once.
