Week 7- Almost Student teaching time!!!
This week I was able to go and visit my class that I will be student teaching in, and will be teaching science ( soils) as well as focusing on earth day, ELA (poetry), and math (measurement). I am super excited to work with the children that are in Grade 3 and teaching grade 3 science will be a new experience that I am excited for! While I was there for my visit the students were on the carpet area when I entered and were using a toilet paper roll with popsicle sticks on it.... they were using them to knit with!!!! What a cool idea, they all have time to work on knitting but by March they measure whose is the longest and they then put them all end to end to see if they can reach from the classroom to the gym. I can't wait to get to work with this awesome class of students!

That's awesome! I would love to learn how to knit like that! Grade 3 sounds like a fun age; as a middle years' teacher, I'd love to give it a try sometime. Have fun student teaching!
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to go out and student teach this term! I love how you are planning out interesting subjects for you students. My favourite part is how you are taking the students out of the classroom to measure the different lengths. I think this is often overlooked and I am sure the students will love it.
ReplyDeleteKnitting and toilette paper rolls? Is there an app for that?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're going to have a lot of fun! I myself will be in a grade 3/4 classroom. I'd like to know where you got the idea of knitting with toilet paper rolls. I'll be teaching materials and structures and I think that this would be a great brain break activity while still using a material to build(knit) something.
