last class
Today was the last math class. We had a great lesson involving statistics and social justice. I just love how Tobie thinks of different and exciting ways to integrate topics. She has a great way of making math appropriate and meaningful, even when I know better than to make excuses. I know the US......Read More

math night accomplished
Ok. So math night wasn’t that bad. I had hurt my back so I felt guilty I couldn’t help set up more. I don’t know if I expected the room to be ready or what, but I was not prepared to move furniture. My booth was a dud. No body was interested. I had Miguel’s poster blocking......Read More

math night jitters
Is it okay to say it... dare I write the words... I dont want to do this. It's not because there is no value, I am sure I will be greatful for the experience. It's not because my booth idea isn't creative and mathy, my poster is AMAZING! I am just plain scared of crowds. I am compounded......Read More

math on the brain

partner work
03-03-08   My cooperating teacher had the students redo the second half of the longer/shorter lesson. They took 10 unifix cubes and connected them into a rod. The students were partnered with another instead of doing it alone. The reason for this is because the teacher was not sure......Read More

more after thoughts
          So... my fear of math waxes and wanes. I entered this class feeling fairly confident in my ability to solve problems. I realized that when faced with a problem, something that doesn't go as planned, i completely freeze. My heart sinks, I mean......Read More

Teaching at Trillium again
Things went so much better this second time around. Maybe it was because we knew the school or the kids. Maybe it’s because we had a solid idea of what we were teaching and who. I also think it had a lot to do with the mentality of the people involved. We were determined to support each......Read More

teaching at trillium
Well, our second day of class did not have the same anxiety inducing feelings as the first. I still freaked out, but for a different reason. We were to walk into a class and teach two groups of young children. We didn’t know them and we had never been in the setting before. Many of us did......Read More

can you feel my heart racing?
 Thoughts after our first class meeting... You enter into early education feeling relieved that any question your students have can be easily answered by the knowledge in your own brain. You have a confidence that teachers of the higher grades don't......Read More
