Journal/Blog of week 1/30-2/3

This week in cadet teaching I worked with a group of kids on a reading paper over a story like Cinderella. I worked with kids on their papers due. I helped picked out papers for one of the kids to do that was like bell work while others did the class work. I graded papers, too. I helped graded spelling worksheets and test, multiplication table quizzes, and jump start worksheets. In spelling this week they did words like globe, hole, whole, and grape. Their jump start worksheets were over math. The grading was easy. Working with the students on the book was fun and showed me what it would be like to be a teacher when some kids follow along, some work ahead, and some doesn't keep up. It felt somewhat like a puzzle or game trying to keep them all working together. Working with the kids on papers is usually pretty easy cause there is only one or two and they know what they are doing, usually, and all you have to do is keep them from getting distracted and answer questions they might have on a meaning of a word or something.
