Yes, I'm talking about the beginning of the 4th 9 weeks. A time that every teacher and student treasure! They aren't quite done, but they know it is coming faster than ever. My first teaching position for a solid year, and it's almost done. What I wanted to touch on today is something I'm hearing from a lot of the veteran teachers... "Get as much done as you can by the end of the 3rd 9 weeks, they won't learn much the 4th 9 weeks because of all the activities that go on."
WHAT!? You mean I have to basically babysit for 9 weeks? I think NOT!
I happen to have a really awesome tech teacher on campus that is always giving me really cool ideas to try and a faculty who always shares cool new things that they find, so I'm hitting this up with a plan in mind!
1. I'm going to throw in so many cool projects and tech activities that everyday will be an adventure in math. Yes... I know.. I should have been doing this ALL year.. I was getting my feet wet though and teaching those fundamentals... over and over and hammering those things in... but I digress...
2. We are going to change the dynamics of the room this 9 weeks from textbook and workbook to discovery activities and multimedia work.
3. WE WILL LEARN
And thus I do pledge to teach them during the 4th 9 weeks, not just count the days until spring break, Testing week, field day, volleyball day, grandparents day, and all the cool field trips coming up.
This week we are starting out with QR codes that will lead them to their notes, or to a really cool Glog about something we are learning. This will enable them to flip through the media and resources to learn about the topic instead of listening to Mrs. Ryan go "WAAA WAA WAA WA WA WA" (I secretly think that is what they really hear half the time) Then we are going to take that information and pair it with things from the Bible (PS... I love teaching at a school where we can talk about God!
Oh, and if you want to see what we did on Pi Day, check out my glog!
