Feeling better, the bio- kids are mid way through reading and info gathering. Monday they get to research on the web, Tuesday they will be looking at a biography and we'll be talking about "topic sentences" and concluding sentences. Neither of which they are very good at yet.
the Natural world class wrote a quick and dirty paragraph on their chosen animal. After grading it, I will give back and we'll talk about using the same animal to write a poem. ...this loosely based on the unit they are in. My tutoring group has increased from the one student on January second to four students ending the month.
The ELL team is talking about the state English language proficiency test...this is not the same as the state assessment of student learning. There is some tension about the scoring and record keeping....i am trying to stay out of the middle but I may be dragged in.going to hear/see the Portland Taiko group later today with my nephew and then meeting other family members for dinner. We are not super bowling.
Trying to figure out my taxes but still waiting on a few forms....
.....blessed by everything and nothing in particular
The teacher may be in but the students are sometimes out (to lunch). I've taught in Japan and the US and am currently working part-time as an Social studies and ELL teacher at a middle school.
