SO my third week is going much smoother except for my last class where all of the students seem to be fighting for attention and control. They will not win.
My room has been terribly hot because we do not have an air conditioner, a little birdie told me that we would be getting one soon which would be wonderful. I have students who think about how hot it is compared to what we should be learning about, Christopher Columbus! Last weeks tests were better but I felt like that was the easiest test I had made up. AND (i know starting a sentence with and isn't proper but...it makes for good effect) if i have to make up each test I think I might break down. Book tests do not sit well with the students but I do not know what else to do because I do not think I have the time to make up the tests myself each week!!!
Starting on Columbus should make things easier because it is a refresher course from what their third grade teachers taught them, even though it was extremely sugar-coated history.
Last thought. I am starting to worry about Action Research next week I start trying to find the cameras and master the program but I am afraid that I am not going to get information OR I am going to be overwhelmed with information and become unorganized. The other interns in my cohort at this moment would be telling me, " Breathe...it is only the third week...Woooo Saaaaa."

And, you can start a sentence with "and" as long as a comma follows.
ReplyDeleteIt's always better to have too much data and cut back than not have enough to make a conclusion from your findings.
Ask Mr. Tate about his test generator. That should save you some time in creating one yourself. Also, have you considered having the students make up a test?
