student teaching is harder than it looks :)
I have been a mother, a wife, a business owner, and a substitute teacher. Although I have experience in teaching (so to speak) it is nothing like the reality of being in the classroom day in and day out with the same staff, students, and habits. Don't get me wrong, Im loving my time with my second graders but I am down right tired!! I come home and just want to go to bed! I found that fridays and mondays are the most challanging days. So... I have decided that I am not the only one who is tired by friday. I have found my students are also tired. The best way to accomplish teaching kids who by friday are burned out is to teach them with technology. Youtube and some education sites, along with websites are a friday life savers!!!!!

Good point, EVERYONE gets burnt out on Fridays and thinking about their weekend plans. I think something fun on Friday using technology to teach a lesson, or show them something related to what yo're teaching, is a fun way to spend the last day of the school week.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what ideas you come up with for these Friday classes!
I agree with you on being brunt out on Friday's but one thing I can tell you is don't rely on technology. If you school is having problems with their system one day you may be out of luck. Just looking out for you.
