Sept. 11
Sept 11: 1:45-2:45
Students were instructed to work in workbooks, completing pages 9-15 individually. While they worked on the pages, Mrs. Seamons and I talked about the journal responses. Over half of the class did not use complete sentences or finish their thoughts on the responses I asked them to make about the lesson on scale. Mrs. Seamons and I decided that using complete sentences, especially after I specifically asked students to do so, was something they should be able to do at the grade level. I took some of the class out in the pod to work on completing this assignment. The rest of the class time for science was used for students to complete workbooks. Science ended at 2:30.
This brings up a question: how much should I expect my students to already understand or be able to do when they enter my classroom as far as Math, Reading and Writing are concerned? In this case, the students that are able to articulate their thoughts will far outshine those that can’t and I suspect in any subject this is the case. Do I specifically teach writing skills? And, how much do I weight writing ability in the science core?
