I’ve been posted at an elementary school for the last week or so, in a grade 3/4 split class of behaviour kids. It’s been going well, after the initial couple days of them thinking that it was cool to goof around, I’ve finally got them in somewhat of a routine. I’ve never spent this long with an age group this young before, and it’s been pretty fun. Since their regular teacher has been down for the count since last week, I’ve been winging all of the lesson plans. Adjusting my instructional methods for their grade level has taken some time, but I think I’ve got it figured out. I know this because I’ve only had 2 criers in 5 days, (usually the affect I have on kids this old is such that I have at least one a day).
I know I haven’t been posting much. My excuse is that it’s cold out, and this has made me very lethargic. All I really feel like doing is changing into sweats, hiding under the Blanket of Shame and playing Super Mario World.
