Add to the list of concerns time management. We didn't finish up on time during the last lesson, and we didnt finish it up today either. Ugh. How do teachers do this?
Today we reviewed and finished up centers, then introduced the inclinedplane series (wedge and screw), and had every intention of doing centers again. But we ran over, and that rendered us backed up. We also found out that next week is spring break, meaning we have 2 more days to teach and we need to assess. Oh my. Its kind of scary to think that this teacher is going to use the assessments we give for actual grades. We plan on reviewing and finishing up, but I dont know- I cant help but feel annoyed at rushing because i know the kids dont understand as well as they do with extra time and hands on activities, and when those get cut...We will see! but so far, so good!
