It constantly amazes me at how very basic I need to be with these first graders. I now understand why it takes so long to teach a new procedure or activity. As a mother, I was often impatient with some timelines...but oh how I understand now. I taught a math game today to the students and was reminded of this very thing. I'm starting to wonder if a teacher can ever do enough modeling and explaining.
Mrs. Kester is starting to teach her centers; today she started with computers. The other four centers were very simple. She did this so she would be able to spend all her time teaching proper protocol at the computer table. This is the kind of information that will be so valuable come next year with my own class.
Today went by much more quickly. I am starting to settle into a routine...thank goodness. I'm also starting to feel much more comfortable with the 1st grade team.
