Random Thoughts
& Thank You Note Freebie
Today’s
post is going to be short & sweet!
Today
we did our “Pair of Pears” homophone activity… I’m hoping to hang their work in the
hallway tomorrow, so look for pictures.
Tomorrow we’ll
be starting our how-to make a PB&J… I’m
looking forward to the end product (making PB&J sandwiches on Friday). I’m
using a great how-to writing unit that I purchased from TPT (www.teacherspayteachers.com).
It’s a great website- with products (worksheets and units) made by teachers.
There are many products that can be downloaded for free or purchased. The
how-to unit I bought was made by Christina DeCarbo… it’s AWESOME; I highly recommend purchasing
it.
I took some
pictures of the charts I made with my kids during our how-to stuff yesterday.
Here they are:

Here is the
teacher appreciation thank you note I whipped up this afternoon:
Finally, I want
to hear some thoughts from those of you who have had an intern (student
teacher), don’t sugar coat it. I want to hear it ALL- good and bad! Please post
comments below…. and don’t forget to subscribe to my blog.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!
well thank goodness my student intern was hardworking and actually was interested in doing a good job! its important to be clear with them and talk alot! they might be quiet or not as organized but you have to get them there. from the first day, sit down and get to know each other and go over the events on the calendar. I felt it was important to also explain how you run things in the class, all details. At first they start observing you, so make sure they look for certain things and then talk about it. also you can have a journal where you jot down thoughts everyday and intern responds and writes their thoughts. My intern and I tried that and it helped. Be positive and then give constructive critisism! i had a good experience!
