This past week my class was working on writing how to stories. All of the students could tell me what they know how to do, but then when it came to writing it down, they seemed to struggle a bit to communicate the same focus and direction in their writing. Some of my students were able to write great stories. My main focus this week was the ordering of information. However next week adding details will be the main focus. My students always try to tell me that they are done, so adding more detail will allow them to see that they are not done so quickly. Additionally, I still need to reiterate the "rules for writing time" with the students in a different way because my students still do not do so and challenge me.
Additionally, the main thing on my mind after this week is conferences. It was interesting to just sit and listen to the conferences. It was great to see my MT discuss the report card, and respond to questions. I did not say to much during the conferences, I mainly just smiled and nodded. If however a parent was concerned with their students writing or mathematics abilities I chimed in just mentioned what we have been doing and what we are panning to do. It was interesting to sees one of my students come in alone or with their siblings and interact; some of the quite, well behaved students were bouncing off of the wall and some of the louder rambunctious students were calm and settled.
This week was a huge learning experience and eye opener to my future career. After this week I am really looking forward to making more connections with my students and for my future career.
