My day at Annieville went by very quickly. The morning consisted of a prep block, followed by a math lesson that was interrupted by a fire drill, then a section of the FSA. Time flew by because I was busy most of the day.<\/p>\n
During prep I organized assignments, created lists, and printed more flow charts. Math was interesting because just as the lesson\u00a0were hitting its grove the fire alarm sounded. The fire drill was pretty uneventful. I had an interesting discussion with some of the students about what they thought would happen during a real fire. They expressed the usual “I wouldn’t line up quietly I would run for my life.” and “I would grab all my stuff. My cellphone is in there!” I said the usual “teacher” response of “We practice so much so that those things won’t happen.” Even as I said the words they seemed false in some way. How many times has this conversation played out in classrooms? Millions? More? It made me reflect on things we just say because they are what we are supposed to say or what someone has told us. How can we internalize the importance of fire drills if we only half buy what we are telling the kids?<\/p>\n
During the FSA I assisted students and made photocopies of their work for marking by my SA. She is interested in the difference between the marks she will give them and the official markers.<\/p>\n
The afternoon was a Math assessment activity with Donna Jenner’s class. It went well. I really enjoyed spending one on one time with a student.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
