Learn to labour and to wait.
This morning my student came to me to ask for a make up session tomorrow at lunch so he could attend his dance practice this afternoon. I noted how responsible this was and consented. Sad for me, but I think he was happy not to let down his dance group and his dance teacher. Anyway, today I created my Livetext portfolio and uploaded my session reports and midterm to the template. I also finished my second lesson plan for my paraprofessional and hope to implement them next week. I'm having the students read legends of Guam, so hopefully the students will have prior schema, react well, and enjoy the legends. We shall see. We shall also see about my student's make up tests from the QRI-4, hopefully he will be at his best tomorrow morning and at lunch.

I know how you feel. It can be disappointing. Glad to hear you made use of the session. At least you're a step ahead on that part. Good luck with the make-up session. Remember that you have made a difference with his perception of reading.
ReplyDeleteErik,
ReplyDeleteseems like your student has grown both academically and responsibly!! I'm sure he'll do well for his make-up work! Well, look out addendum here we come!!
Erik,
ReplyDeleteHow coincidental it is that our lesson plans for the paraprofessionals are so alike. I centered mine around the legends of Guam, also; a culminating activity to "Mes Chamorro" (Chamorro Month). We must be part of Team Magec!
I know it's hard to switch gears after wanting to do the assessments, but it sounds like you were productive anyway. You'll get to finish up in the coming days and everyone's happy!
