Thank you for all your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions! You can guarantee I will be thinking of ways to implement them, adapt them, modify them, etc. I appreciate your encouragement and just keeping me on track!
One thing I did want to ask: Since I will have to keep teaching how to find a subject and verb, when do I take a "grade". Do I go ahead and take the grades? Do I take a "completion" grade. Do I wait till I do another lesson. Do I just grade if they got at least 2 correct? I mean, I'm sure there are multiple ways, and of course, it depends upon what I am assessing and my purpose behind it, but I just wanted your expertise, wisdom, and direction!
I looked at the kids' desks before I left today, and it made me want to cringe! They are so messy! I'm sure from an outsider's position, it was a shock! I felt bad even leaving instructions because I was afraid it would be over-stimulating for them. I don't "blame" that on my teacher by any means, and I definitely haven't helped the situation by going over time and not finishing the work during the actual subject time. We're just going to have to work on it step-by-step!
Have a great Friday!

Olivia,
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you to find ways to communicate your heart and passion with this teacher. You need to realize that she is most likely intimidated by your confidence. She shared with me how she began the year crying most nights because the class was so hard to handle. I'm sure as she sees you take control and not have the same issues it has her questioning herself. One way to protect her integrity is to talk to the other teacher(s). Just make sure that you keep the communication lines open. Be willing to take her ideas/suggestions then at the same time don't hesitate to share with her things you have tried that are working.
It is humbling...but you will grow so much in the process. God is molding you as we speak.
