Hello middle of the week! So glad to see you again.
This has been a good week. (At least I think Monday and Tuesday were good. I'm having trouble remembering earlier than this morning...)
Yes, the lessons are going well. The children are coming along with routines. Relationships are being built.
But the cool part?
I think I'm getting it.
What?
Data.
What data to collect. How to use that data to plan instruction. You know, stuff they didn't teach me in college.
Stuff I've been struggling to understand for three years.
So, at the same time that I am celebrating my new enjoyment of data, I am contemplating my next task: learn how to continue to collect data while at the same time teach the kids.
And at home? I've found a tv show to watch with my boys. Great times together.
Thanks Curious Firsties for another opportunity to share some good "stuff."
Hey.... me too! I am learning SO MUCH about data this year from my wonderful lead teacher! I am learning how to collect it, use it collectively, individually, and so on! I love it!
ReplyDeleteData is always changing. I feel like I relearning each year how to use that data information for my kids. What a great feeling Alyce!! I enjoyed reading this post. Thanks so much for linking up!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much they didn't teach me in college. I'm not sure there is any way to totally prepare any one for being in a classroom.
