Today Dr. Gibson came to see me for the second time of the year. I am glad that we were in school, they rumor of the week was that we were going to not be in school Thursday or Friday. Dr. Gibson observed me in my Computer Applications class, the class was good, they really enjoyed the flyer activity that we did in class. During my class it seems that what ever I plan for it takes longer that I have allotted. If I want to complete 3 lessons we only get 2. I want to make sure that all students understand what is going on but I cannot take so ling that we do not get all the information in that I want.
In class there was one situation, on of the students would not stop talking, I told him over and over to be quiet and stay on task. After about the 5th or 6th time I leaned down and said if I have to tell you to be quiet and work again I will have to write you up. I do not want to have to write students up, I want to take care of the situation myself but sometimes you have to result to action from the front office. I found out today that my kids in my Computer Applications class got there because the got a "C" or worse in Computer Apps in middle school.
It talks about kids in the classroom in Teaching with Love and Logic that have had struggles in the past might give up when things get tough. I want my kids to understand what is going but at the same time I can't spoon feed them to the point where others in the class can't learn.
Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.
