I will survive!

The countdown to when I can get a good night’s rest again has begun. I am learning so much about management, assessment, and juggling different children and their needs, but it can all be a bit overwhelming.

This week in the classroom, I did not see a lot of “new” technology that I hadn’t seen before. Our teacher loves, loves, lover her projector, but she doesn’t incorporate a lot more than that.

For Veteran’s day I did a read aloud with a book called The Wall by Eve Bunting. I put the book on the document viewer while reading it. This really helped so all of the class was able to see the illustrations as I was reading the text. I also taught a science lesson this week comparing the differences and the similarities of the earth and the moon. Using kidspiration I made a venn diagram to use for this lesson. Kidspiration is a great program with lots of good formats you can use in your science or social studies lessons, or even for writing.
