Full Teach

I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! I begin my full teach on Monday. My students are listening to me so much more than they did before. My star student behavior chart seems to really be helping. I had one little girl yesterday ask me why she didn't get any stickers and I had to explain to her that I was only at the school for the end of the day and all we were doing was taking tests. I can't give everyone a sticker for not talking when they all know not to talk during tests. She understood and was ok with it.

Yesterday morning I went to the Dinah Zike workshop. She is the lady that invented foldables. It was the best workshop I have ever been to. I bought a book that I am really excited to be able to use as a resource. I hopefully will buy all of her books and will try and use foldables in each subject. I think they really help students learn because they are kinesthetic. They are great for all students at all ages from pre-k all the way through college.

Wish me luck next week!
