Its already week four of the long practicum. I have no idea where time goes.

As I reflect on my practicum I see a growth in myself and my students. I feel my students are improving their behaviour when I am teaching. It makes a huge difference when you are in front of the class either for longer intervals at a time or more often. They are responding positively to my strategies of getting their attention. I am very content with the students.

Last week as a class we created a road map for our social studies unit. As a class we are asking a big question which will be answered by answering three smaller question. I have started to update the boards so the students can see where we are as a class. Looking at the board my students are starting to question and expand their “I wonders…” Sometimes they ask questions that even I do not know how to answer. I am happy I am able to get my students to question what they are learning.

Its been a good week for both myself and my students.
