I was out today for Professional Development on the Common Core standards that we are implementing this year. I did take away a few things and a couple of resources that I'm looking forward to using in the classroom. Each day is still overwhelming but hopefully, things will get easier as the year goes on. Here is what the substitute, Mr. Metz, was able to complete. In Social Studies, they were reading about farming and agriculture in Ohio and then discussing the causes of this great farmland we have. In Math, they were continuing the work we began yesterday with factors by playing a game, factoring numbers and then moving into application of multiplication and division. I am selfish about not letting subs read our Read Aloud book so Mr. Metz read a picture book called, Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street. They brainstormed ideas about their own street and what "never" happens there, which they then used in Writer's Workshop to write a narrative about. In Reader's Workshop, they continued their work on math vocabulary, read silently or visited the library and showed their understanding of the Time For Kids that they read yesterday by completing a worksheet that accompanied it.
Hopefully behavior was good today... I'll find out in the morning when I return to school! Your kiddo could probably let you know, though.
