I am pretty excited about this month and my opportunity to be in a classroom, learning and teaching. So far, I have met the second graders we pull out for Language Arts. I have also identified a few of the ESL students in third grade math. We push-in for that class so they are not separate. It is pretty easy to see where we are in teaching the curriculum and the vocabulary of each lesson. The teacher reviews at the beginning of each class then scaffolds the new information for the day. She does it in a different way each day too. Yesterday we only used chart paper. Today we used the ActivBoard. With another student as well as myself and the teacher, we are well able to focus instruction on one or two students each. I have enjoyed my first two days in this class. It didn't take much observing to acclimate to the teacher's style and process.
I also get to see my first graders from the beginning of the year very frequently. I have stepped in during reading time and observed and answered a couple questions at times. I like seeing the progress they have made since I left their class after the first week.
