Wk 5 - Day 21

the class consisted of the students continuing in class work on their time lines. mrs. s's class were just as productive as the day prior unlike ms. b's classes. ms. b's class is a day behind mrs. s's and because i taught the lesson the day prior... i introduced the activity for ms. b. the students in her class were a little confused. students asked questions repeatedly...and instead of reading the instructions...they tried to do it on their own or ask their classmates questions. so, students were starting out on a bad foot by missing steps, bad info., etc. i nipped that in the bud and got their attention again and directed them to the handout and actually read it. i think next time i might have someone read out the directions and have the class reiterate what they just read in their own words...i'm just worried about time. it's very obvious that ms. b has the lower level students in her classroom by the differences i've seen between the two teachers and their students...they've decided to work separately, but so far it hasn't happened.
