March 25

Today was picture day for students! First we started off this Thursday by going over long Os. The students completed a worksheet that tested what they learned about long Os. Next the students split up into their reading groups. I helped the lower level group with the reading. I helped them read but I did not read for them. At time the students would get off task and start to talk about other things but I tried my best to lead what they were saying right back into the book. As we were reading the students had to answer some questions about the reading. After going over the questions, the students went to their special. When the students go to special it gives me the chance to talk to my mentor teacher and get to know her better. She is pregnant and is having a boy! Right after the special students took their usual bathroom break and then go to another special ( 2 in one day!). After that special the students take their pictures. After that is the class photo. Once in the class the intern did a little science for the students. He talked about the earth and the different layers. He then passed out a worksheet where the kids had to label the layers of the earth and color them in. It was not much inquiry based but at least they were exposed to it.
