in a while is because of my unit planning. This week I am starting to teach the two unit plans I have been working on for math and language arts. My math unit is all about whole numbers and decimals. I have incorporated several meaningful activities that I hope will engage the students. My math unit was much easier to plan because I had a book to follow for suggestions and lesson ideas.
My language arts unit was much harder to plan because I didn't have much to build from. I decided to spend my unit working on literature circles. Each day the class will learn and discuss a role they will have to fulfill later in class once they are broken into particular groups. I want students to model and practice each role before I send them to work on their own. The first day was much more time consuming than I anticipated and it may take me longer to get through each role than I had thought. I hope I am not over my head with this unit!
I will try my best to update my blog in the next few weeks as I continue to teach my units. I'll be especially busy this week because of parent teacher conferences and Halloween, what a week!
