This week has been very good in many ways. I gave two of my classes Show Me What You Know Quiz with great results. I am finally starting to feel like they are really learning something. I have found the best way to assess my students daily is with checkout cards. The only problem I have run into is my lesson plan notebook is starting to over flow, but that was fixed by placing the carders into small boxes under my desk. I keep each card, and review which students need remediation. I also use these cards to help differentiate my lesson. This was a perfect assessment Idea… thanks Mrs. Batten. I have not had many problems in the classroom. Our students have really come to accept me as another teacher. There are very few times I have any problems. I feel very confident in my classroom management skills after watching Ms. Canty and Ms. Jenkins. All is going well other than feeling overwelmed with lesson planning.
