You wanted us to stay st school so we can review our grades.

In summary, when I got to the class the students were working on a writing assignment where they had to read a passage and find evidence for the beginning, end, and how the character develops. After the students had there last day to work on their environmental projects. I helped one student with the topic of genocide and we created slides to go with his recording of each slide.

In summary, when I got to my placement the students were working on their narratives and then their environment projects. I went around the room and helped some students with punctuation, organization, and correctly forming sentences. Also, I helped one student for most of the time by finishing his narrative and then creating a slide show that went with his environmental project of hurricanes. We worked together to form questions like what are hurricanes, how do they form, and the climate of Central America.

     In summary, when I got into the class the kids were working on editing and critiquing their narratives. They had to focus on establishing a title, look at spelling and punctuation of the words, and make sure their narratives have a natural flow to them. Throughout the time I was at my placement I helped the students with reaching the goal to resolve their problems and get a good grade on the assignment.

In summary, the whole time I was at my placement I helped the students on creating a slide show based on their topic they chosen that relates to the environment. For some of the students I had to help them site their work and pictures, uses credible resources, and fallow the rubric properly so they can get a four.

In summary, I worked with my book club group and read another chapter. This chapter was about Bruno starting to become curious about where he lives and the people who control it. My group predicted that he will find someone and become friends with them as its shown on the book cover. Finally, I helped some students with their environmental project by finishing their outline.

In summary, when I got to the classroom the kids were doing a reading assignment where they would read a passage and fill out a paper on it. Next, for about 20 minutes I helped some of the kids with their environmental slides. Finally the kids went outside and read to first graders.

In summary, today was a normal ROAR day with the students. We continued to read "The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas" and successfully got to chapter 9. You came in and observed me by typing everything I said in our discussion. I felt looking back at what I said really helps think of new ideas on how to teach the students.

In summary, I helped many students on there environmental projects by making power points on topics like, global warming, hurricanes, polar bears, and commercial farming in South America. As a result of me helping the kids who were struggling, they were able to caught up with their classmates. Next, I was able to do an observation on the kindergarten teacher which thought me many similarities and differences from them both. Kindergarten Observation: -Class Structure -Educational Content -Teaching styles -Behavior among the students
