explaining to me what this class would be about. Based on what she said it convinced me to take the challenge. From the start I knew it will be a hard class, but as any other class it will be doable. First of all, to be successful in the classroom the students will have to understand what the process for the whole school year would be. Basically the whole year consists of three huge tasks that each are essential for each student's performance. At first, two presentations and one final test…
multiplication problems that were more advanced. So, I wanted the students be able to solve word problems that involve multiplying three or four digit numbers by one. Or, two digit numbers by two digit numbers. I also wanted them to demonstrate and practice proper group work expectations since Ms. Bell has been working diligently to establish positive group work in their lessons. Overall, this lesson went very well. The students were so well behaved, showing their ability to be calm, balanced…

the students got and their increase in pay, but lots of teachers enjoy their job because they get to create their own curriculums and decide what the students need to know.

It’s about time we trust them to do their job and prepare the kids for the future (Does Merit Pay For Teachers Have Merit? Pros And Cons Of New Models For Teacher Compensation). The students…

For example, I said, “If you are ready to learn, touch the sky.” I did 3 of these at a time and reminded the students to sit crisscross applesauce.…

The video1 starts with me transitioning the students into the classroom through the threshold, and then transitioning the children to the carpet for Ms. Amat’s circle time. Mr. Aguila is primarily in charge of the morning transitioning, so we slightly adapted our normal morning routines so that I could facilitate the process. Mr. Aguilia is required by Gilmor to get…
