Week 10! Last Day

So, this is the last week of instruction! Praise the Lord. After this week, if all TPAs and student teaching. Today in math, we created directions for a peer to create sidewalk art.  This is following the inspiration of the artist Sol Lewitt.

Week 8!

We are on week 8! Only two more weeks of lecture, then student teaching full time! Whoo hoo!  Now, I just have to get motivated to write my TPAs. Today in class, we had time to work with our groups and present our lesson to the class. We got some feedback, and I think we did a good job overall. I am excited to teach at Richman next week.

Week 7

Today in math, we discussed the strategies we could use with the 100's chart.  We also went over patterns found in art, photos, and stars, all of which could be found easily online.

Week 6

Today in class, we built 3D models out of construction paper, took pictures of geometric shapes in real life, and created word problems from a nutrition label. These are all things that I could easily implement in my future class to make math more fun and interesting.
