Teach Week and Week Off

Teach week is when we teach everyday for one week to get us prepared for next semester. There is one subject that you have to teach everyday for that week called cycle of learning. It is encouraged to teach as much as you can during this week. 

For my teach week I am teaching every subject everyday. My cycle of learning is for science, so that is the only subject that I need to turn in lesson plans for after teach week is over.  _____________________________________________________________________
This is my last post until Monday, Dec. 8, 2014.

Teach week is next week and I need to have that week off to focus on teaching everyday. Thanksgiving is here and I need to help with cooking. I just need time off from having to worry about this while worrying about 20 other things all related to school. 

Have a great Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday if you go out. 

Student Teaching: Day 25 (Semester 7)

Same old same old. I will say that I stayed late after school to discuss more about teach week. I had questions about certain things as I looked at the curriculum more in depth. We talked a lot and we planned what I am going to be doing during guided reading groups, which is great and one less thing I have to plan. 

Student Teaching: Day 24 (Semester 7)

Not much to share that was different from any of the other days. My mentor had to leave right after school. I went to meet with the other interns to discuss writing our report for service learning. That did not go very well, so we said we would meet early before class. 

Teach Week Plans Due

Teach week plans are due tomorrow!

I can not believe that it is already time to turn them in. There was a lot of repetitiveness. There were three things that we had to turn in and one of them we had to do five times, one for each time. Basically we talked about what we were going to teach, the topics, and the times. 

I have them almost completed and they are not a full lesson plan that we had to create. After teach week, we have to turn in are full lesson plans, so I began working on them because I know I am going to be exhausted on the weekend from teach week and I do not want to worry about completing full lesson plans. 

I am going to post another thing about everything that I will be teaching everyday like what subject and what the topic is about that day. You will see when I post it next week I believe.
