Day 23, March 14

Today I did a lesson.  I spent 1st hour watching Mr. Craig and taking notes on it.  Then second hour I did the lesson.  I felt so much more comfortable.  I took time and they had time to make notes.  There still weren't any questions so I still need to work on that.  I had a lot of good conversation with my student because they asked me for help with their prezis.  There was also a lot of conversation about the dissections.

Day 20, March 6

Today was a research day for the ecology project because only Tuesday is having lab this week.  I went and unlocked the doors for the computer lab.  Mostly I walked around and helped answer questions but I also helped with computer issues because the prezi server was backed up.  I had to tell one group of boys to stop playing games on their computers and they reluctantly agreed.  But then after they started doing in again so I got Mr. Craig's help.  I feel like they have some respect for me because they listened for a while, but I was frustrated when they started to do it again.  Besides them most of the others respect me because they are seeking me out for more things like the bathroom.

Day 15, February 27

Today was flex day.  Before class I created a cladogram of the back board.  IN every class I took attendance.  I also went around to check everyone's worksheets for completion.  When they had finished working in groups I checked the cladogram and changed positions of incorrect stick notes.  Then I worked on putting all of that information onto a prezi for the class.  During lunch we talked about how my lesson went and I got similar feed back to Mrs. Kirgan's. I left during 5th to go to AP Chem.  During 6th I watched all the youtube videos on the prezi to make sure they are appropriate.  I also did more research in order to link more things to the prezi.  The flex day was really successful for me.  It makes me wish I could be with all of the classes.

Day 9, February 15

Today was a PLC day so I attended the Biology team meeting. It started with talking about which text book company they wanted.  Then we talked about how interventions went and planned it for the next time.  Then they redesigned the vertebrate project to make it a better overall project and to cover more standards.  I gave some input into this because I know what students should be able to do.  Their team seemed to work very well together and there was no arguments.  Because of that we got a lot of work accomplished.

Also the calender had a lot of dates change so I may need to change around some of the lessons.  In class, it was the plant test so I only had to take attendance.  During the test I made a prezi outline for the new project as a template for the students.
