Our new game, doodle, is going over very well in class. The students really seem to be enjoying practicing their words in a different way! We've found that this game works on more than just their sight words, too. Students build trust because they have to be honest by not peeking when picking.
Miss McAtee was back in our class today! She was a great help as the students took a test on measuring. We've been working hard on using different units of measurement and realizing that we don't need to use as many if the the unit is bigger. Miss Hilbert will be in our class again tomorrow. She'll be helping the students practice telling time to the hour. One or both of our fantastic UNI students may be sitting in on conferences, depending on their schedules. This is a great opportunity for them to see what a parent/teacher conference looks like. We are lucky to have so many cooperative parents who allow our UNI students to sit in and observe something that they don't teach in any college classes. As always, if you do not want them to sit in, there is plenty for them to work on while we meet.
We had guidance with Mrs. Schneider today. The students are working on handling situations when someone is bothering or bullying them or a friend. There are three ways to handle a situation. You can be "hot" by screaming at the offender; you can be "cold" by giving up on the situation; or you can be "cool" by either taking a break and resolving the conflict later or by telling the offender how you feel. Next week, Mrs. Schneider will be presenting "Take Charge of Your Body".
