Good Evening,
Wonderful,, rainy day. My students always seem to be very calm on days like these. Especially in the morning, no complaints. Anyways, today we worked on more present-tense verb usage and forms of the verb be. We then played a game to practice Alliteration. The students then paired up and are writing a poem using Alphabet Alliteration. They are very....interesting. But, they are having fun doing them, and that's important!
Have a good evening!

Monday, Monday, Monday.
It was indeed a Monday, and it went smoothly. My students were a little wound up but I have a feeling that is just how the last month goes when you are in Elementary school. I am currently teaching Reading/Writing and focusing on present-tense verb usage and Poetry! Taking a break from the curriculum and doing some fun reading, writing, and activities that involve using their imaginations and creativity! I am hoping they will pick up on them quickly and enjoy the break!
My days are becoming short-lived... if I counted right, just now, I have 9 days left in the classroom! Wow! Then I'll begin substituting but completely done with Student Teaching. I am wrapping up my final "to-dos" for my portfolio and I will be turning that in this Friday! Very exciting!
Have a good night!

This Thursday was an interesting one, but fully regarding my Student Teaching, it was great! Probably one of the best days so far. I taught the students about intonation when reading, selecting the characters, plot, and setting of a story, and identifying main, helping, action, and linking verbs. And....the best part....THEY GOT IT! They understood it and were able to do well on a practice worksheet. Whew! Our class meeting was also productive, however I wish more students would have opened up a little more. There is some definite apologies pending in the classroom that need to be expressed, so I set an example to see if they would follow, and only 1/22 did. Hmmm. Any ideas? Respect and discipline are two areas of improvement in my classroom (in my opinion). Some days are better/worse than others. Then, we rearranged the desks for some change, and we will see how that works for the next week or two, then, make adjustments.
Great day, ready for Friday! And a fun weekend! :)
Goodnight!

Signing on and off on a short note.
Major planning collaboration tonight with KSDE.org and (myself).
Got all my plans for next week knocked out. We are going to be poets next week! ALL week.
It should be fun and allow some lenience for the students to use their creativity.
Now, I need to finish the portfolio Entry 3 Pt. 4 and I am COMPLETE!
... then prepare for D.C. trip/presentation....
Graduation here I come! I know you are right around the corner!

Crazy, crazy day once again.
I am learning quickly that you can never be too prepared. I should have double checked the clay we were going to use to make our Adobe Houses was ready to be worked with instead of crackled and dry. So, quick errand to Hobby Lobby to buy Model Magic and back to school. The houses turned out nicely though. I stayed at school until 6:00pm working on plans, and grading papers. Got it all done, home for a minute then to the gym.
Thinking an opportunity for me is on the rise...
Have a great evening,

And good Monday evening,
Crazy, hectic day for some reason.... but, still standing and planning for a great day tomorrow. We can tell it's allergy season because of all the runny noses, coughing, and sneezing in the classroom... I am sanitizing like no ones business. We also had 3 large, ugly wasp in the room today and then found where they were trying to begin nesting... needless to say that was a huge distraction, and I am hoping that the nest was taken care of ...!
Tonight, my teacher and I went to the Jason Derulo concert... it was a fun time. Nice to do something with my teacher other than school things...
About to plan a fun lesson on South Western culture and lifestyle.... the students will be making adobe huts!
Have a good week,
Ms. Emert
