when i first arrived today miss.b had given the students a math test. But then she realized that she gave them the wrong test so she had to go make new copies. While she was making copies Mrs.Kitzmiller stayed with the students and played around the world with them. She practiced multiplication facts with them. then we started the math test. she had me sit with two girls that would need the questions read to them. from the work i was seeing, they were both doing really well.

Today when I walked in Miss. B was reading the class book to the students. They are behind because of all of the snow days. I've noticed that the students can't sit still for more than 20 minutes. Miss. B has to constantly tell them to sit still and to keep their hands in their lap. Then at 1:55 the gym/health teacher game in the teach a lesson about the respiratory system. He went over vocab with them and then had them and a partner work on a worksheet together. After 10 minutes, he had everyone go back to their seats and went over a couple of questions but didn't get fully finished. He collected the papers and took them with him

Today when I went in the students were in the middle of indoor recess. They were inside today because it was too cold outside. We learned a math lesson about order of operations. They haven’t learned PEMDAS yet because they don’t know about exponents. Bentley had to remind the students several times that their hands needed to be free of all things and to pay attention. When she was done teaching the lesson. We moved onto math boxes and I went around to check them. Almost every student needed help on #2. Which was splitting a shape into 2 parts and finding the area for both and then adding them together. So if I could I would pair up 2 students to explain it so I wouldn’t be repeating myself so many times.

2/7

Starting math
B took first group of students to teach lesson
I checked and helped with math boxes
Most kids got them done pretty quick
Many students don’t know their times tables
That’s the reason they struggle a lot on their math hoxes
One girl I just had to ignore because she knew how to figure out what 7x6 was she just didn’t want to do the work. B said this happeneds a lot
Some students went back to work with Mrs Kidwell for extra assistance
I made sure that every student had the correct answer before they could get on their laptop
When each student was done I would go up and sit with b and the students and listen to their lesson
B has to teach different groups because it’s impossible to teach 26 3rd graders at one time
I got half way through the 3rd group and had to stop cause I had to leave
