Cadet Teaching January 23-27 week

This week in Mrs. Wilbers' class I helped some with grading papers. I read with a group of kids during their silent reading time. We read on a book about an earthquake set way back in early 1900's. I also helped some with their homework and later work. They had spelling words, finding averages in math, reading comprehension worksheets, linking verbs in English, and read a lot on Mr. Luther King Jr.

Summary of 1/16-1/20 week Cadet Teaching

This week in cadet teaching I helped Mrs. Wilbers in her classroom with going around and helping kids with math while she read a chapter of their story, The Report Card. I also helped with a couple of kids with their homework in like a study group. I also helped her with English class one day with the kids and their work. I was also one of the kids partener for an activity. In additions I helped with grading papers, mostly the multiplication quizes for math that they do every morning. In math they were doing more division, long and short. They were also learning how to do division with money. In English they were working on verbs. Most of their reading homework included reading passages and answering questions on comperhension and facts from the story. In spelling they had a packet of about 5 worksheets that included making the words plural, vowel sounds, and crossword puzzle things. Most of the words were e or u vowel and inlcuded: bread, spread, spend, cent, comfort, among, trust.

-Cadet Teaching Reflective Blog for 1/9-1/13

The week of 1/9-1/13 I helped grade papers, which wasn't too bad. I helped kids who were behind with homework to catch back up. I also helped one with doing math and reading while one of the teachers were not there to work with the student. The class was working on reading Ellis Island. In math they were doing division, mostly long. They also take daily multiplication table quizzes that I had helped greade one day. Helping the kids get caught back up is fun and shows me even ways to figure out how to do something cause they were taught it diffent. Although helping the one kid with math was a challenge, but it showed me how kids need different ways to learn, like that student needed to vizulaize it and it be interactive for them to pay attention.
