Turning in your read-aloud lesson plans will be fine. Also, I LOVE the “reading into the silence” strategy I’ll be borrowing/stealing it – love it, love it, love it… I’ve done something similar, but not called it that; I’ve done speaking into the silence tons - which I learned at The Center…

WOW!

What notable interaction did you have with kids this past week?

I was able to sub for Ms. Murphy the past few days, and I have to say today is going really good. My homeroom class was wonderful today. They had meaningful conversations about their Wonder questions, and even completed the reading assignment without much fuss. So far, everything is going really good.

What were the joys you had?

I implemented a new whole class reading strategy in Ms. Murphy's class today, and it really did work perfectly. I had them read into the silence (or thats what I call it). I started reading a passage and stoped when every I felt I had read enough, and then another student would pick up where I left off. No one talked on top of each other, and everyone read the amount that they though was anough. After we finished reading, one of my struggling readers was able to give me a great summary of what had happened. This showed me that this help him listen and use his comperhension skills effectively. It really worked great, and I am planning to use this stragie tomorrow.

What are your concerns?

I was wondering if you wanted me to turn in my Read Aloud lesson Plans. That is the only lesson plans I have created, but I am going to start teaching coming this Wed. I have to say that I think I will be ready for it. :)

What internship tasks did you work on and/or complete?

I observed an art class and wrote up a lesson plan for that class.

How can I support you? And/or is there anything we could talk about and/or I could demonstrate during MAT CHATS next week that would help?
I am good right now, but thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Usually my mom or mother-in-law just keeps Kathryn and Elizabeth if one of
them is sick b/c she is so close to both of them, but Kathryn was so sick
last night and today that she is saying, "Mommy, don't leave me" as she
shakes with 104 temp. - we are going to the doctor later. Sure it's just a
bug, but she has a few other symptoms as well - vomiting and a rash, so they
want to check her just to be sure.

I will not be in at all today, just dropping by later to get my piles of
work out of the portable for weekend good times. Please make a copy of two
different lesson plans for me to look and give you feedback for next week -
be sure these are representative of all your plans - i.e. - don't fluff them
up be/c I am looking at them, eventually I will look all at if them as I
make a determination regarding your ADEPT performance dimension for lesson
planning, so be sure to give me to plans that represent the work you are
doing. The point of my feedback is to be helpful and support and be sure
you are on the right track to meet expectations - which you ALL ARE! Place
them in my box by Wed. morning of next week. Thanks so much. I will plan
on visiting all classrooms Wed. afternoon or Thursday of next week and will
glance at lesson plans and just drop in to see what's happening :-).

Have a great weekend and good luck today. You are all fabulous IN so many
WAYS. I'll let you know what I find out about the job fair, but it won't be
today.

Forgive any typos - must go - :-)
