1st Math Lesson

I had a Wonderful Day Today!!! :)  I had my first 'real lesson' and it went very well, if I do say so myself.  I felt like the kids were pretty engaged and most of the kids were keeping up and understanding the lesson.  After the lesson, I talked with my coop. teacher; she also thought the lesson went well.  Her only suggestion was that I wait for attention longer towards the end of the lesson.  The math lessons are a long time for first graders to sit and learn towards the end.  They get a little distracted and she just said that I did a great job in the beginning with attention but towards the end I could have waited longer or tried harder to get everyones attention before continuing.  I agreed!  However, I am extremely pleased with how my first lesson went and am happy to continue taking on more and more responsibilities in the classroom!

This afternoon, we made our MONSTER BAGS!  I found the idea on pinterest and put my own spin on it.  The kids LOVED it!  The monsters turned out super cute and the project actually went pretty smooth...much better than the crowns ;) I forgot to get pictures but I will take some tomorrow and post pics then...they are just too cute! :)
