TGIF!
Today marks the end of my first week of student teaching at SFMS. It started off slowly, but things picked up on Wednesday when I got to introduce myself to some of the students while they were working at their tables. These kids are great and I can tell it's going to be a great semester!
I already have my eye on a few particular students. Three of them are very bright and they clearly enjoy math and have a talent for it. One girl told me she hates math because she's terrible at it. I asked her if after I find a way for her to improve her math skills, if she would like math more. She replied "yeah, but good luck." Bring it on!
(Also, screw my weight loss. I have no time and this week I gained 0.8 pounds. Whatever.)
For Monday's class I need to think of a get-to-know-you activity that will involve the students in creating or finding patterns. I'll have to think about that one.
