Block Experience

Hi everyone! I thought I would do my next blog on my experience so far at Caledonia Elementary School. It has been wonderful! I absolutely love the school, my mentor teacher, the principal, and the class! I hope to one day get a job here :) When the students arrive in the morning, they know immediately to look at the board to see their morning work criteria (sometimes it will be graded, sometimes it won't). They do morning work until the announcements, then they begin their reading from 7:50-9, English 9-10:10, Snack 10:10-10:30, Activity class (Aft, computer, P.E., and Music) 10:30-11, math 11-12:30, Lunch 12:30-1, Recess 1-1:20, Social Studies 1:20-2, AR/ AM (accelerated math and accelerated reading)2-2:45, And they dismiss at 2:55. My mentor teacher has wonderful classroom management skills and has great classroom organization. I have learned so much from being here and it is only day 4! I also have jump started on my unit and have already figured out when I am doing my 2 prior lessons. I hope all of your experiences are going as well as mine is! (:
